Dear Colleagues,

This is to announce a New NASA ARSET Webinar Series: Advanced Webinar: 
Techniques for Wildfire Detection and Monitoring 
<https://arset.gsfc.nasa.gov/land/webinars/adv-wildfire-2018> beginning 
in July.

*
*Training Description:* Certain areas are experiencing longer fire 
seasons, with more frequent and severe droughts. Wildfire detection, 
monitoring, and mitigation is increasingly important in these regions. 
Satellite remote sensing data is useful for identifying active fires, 
evaluating burned areas, and assessing fire emissions. This advanced 
training will highlight tools useful for local fire managers. 
Presentations and exercises will introduce participants to tools to 
identify active fires, visualize fire emissions, and calculate burn 
severity.

*Course Date and Time:*Thursdays, July 12 and July 19, 2018. There are 2 
identical sessions provided twice per day to accommodate an 
international audience. 10:00-12:00 and 18:00-20:00 EDT (UTC-4)

*Learning Objectives*: By the end of the training, attendees will be 
able to:

  * Identify active fires, visualize fire emissions, and calculate burn
    severity
  * Use the QGIS FMT to enter fire information and order imagery

*Intended Audience:* This training is primarily intended for local, 
regional, state, federal, and international organizations  involved in 
wildfire management.

*
*

*Registration:*This webinar is free and open but you must register. 
Please only register for one of the daily sessions: Training URL:
