| Summary / Zusammenfassung | Wildfires are a major problem for many European societies threatening human lives and property with disastrous impacts particularly at the wildland-urban interface. On the other hand humans always used fire as a tool to regulate nature and traditional use of fire is known in many regions of Europe. The understanding of this paradox is thus essential for finding solutions for integrated wildland fire management. The European integrated project FIRE-PARADOX aims to provide an innovative approach of integrated wildland fire management. The FIRE- PARADOX project is comprising a team of 31 partner institutions spread over Europe with different expertise in the various aspects of wildland fire management. Inside this project we implement new fuel characterization schemes based on hyperspectral imagery and airborne laser scanning data. |
