Using satellite imagery to manage bushfires

In 2003, regularly updated maps of recently burnt areas of our bush were uploaded onto a website hosted by Charles Darwin University, known as the North Australian Fire Information service, or NAFI. Twenty years on, NAFI's maps of active fires and burnt areas underpin fire management across northern Australia. The maps are used for planning, response, implementation, and reporting. Rohan Fisher joins Momentum Media's Space Connect Podcast with host Adam Thorn to talk through more about how it works.
