  1. The Global Burnt Area 2000 initiative: GBA-2000 Mapping, from SPOT-VEGETATION S1 imagery, of the areas burnt globally during the year 2000 Status on March 2002 Grégoire J-M., K. Tansey, I. Marengo and J.M.N. Silva GLC 2000 – “FIRST RESULTS” WORKSHOP JRC – Ispra, 18-22 March 2002

  2. GBA-2000 Product definition • a binary map (burnt-unburnt) monthly non-accumulative global burn scar map, at 1 km resolution • statistics of burnt areas area burnt in 2000 per country, per month, and • per main types of vegetation cover (UMD & GLC2000)

  3. GBA-2000 General approach • 7 co-investigatorsCSIRO, CCRS, IFI, CNR, UTL, GVM, NRI • regional algorithms for processing VGT S1 to burnt area maps • integration into a global processing chain(at JRC) • processing of the complete global time series (at JRC) • production of monthly global maps & statistics(at JRC) • GBA2000 products publicly available(IMS at UNEP-GRID)

  4. GBA-2000 Regional algorithms & Global processing chain • 5 regional algorithms have been selected • the moist tropical forest remains a problem • the global processing chain is complete and running • for more information • Kevin Tansey at GVM/JRC kevin.tansey@jrc.it • Grégoire et al., 2002

  5. GBA-2000 Monthly burnt area maps

  6. Availability of burnt area maps FebruaryApril MayJune

  7. GBA-2000 Statistical information

  8. Reporting of areas burnt at country level Analysis of fire seasonality Areas burnt per type of vegetation cover Statistics for reporting on fire activity at the country level

  9. Statistics for management of protected areas (Mozambique)

  10. Areas burnt in tropical forest sample sites (TREES)

  11. Global grid 1ox1o cells Statistics for modelling of emissions of GHG & aerosols

  12. GBA-2000 Data distribution Maps of burnt areas and statistical information made accessible via an Internet Map Server implemented in collaboration with UNEP-GRID Geneva

  13. GBA 2000 Internet Map Server
