Extended Assessment of Burn Severity on 2005 NPS Alaska fires
National Park Service, Alaska Regional office. 2008. Extended Assessment of Burn Severity on 2005 NPS Alaska fires. U.S. Geological Survey
Extended assessment burn severity dataset for fires occuring in Alaska National Parks and Preserves in 2005. Extended Assessements were completed for the Highpower Creek fire in Denali National Park and Preserve, the Stony fire in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, the Reed River and Chapman Creek fires in Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, the Imelyak, Akikukchiak, Aklummayuak and Goiter fires in Noatak National Preserve and the Charley C1 and Trout Creek fires in Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve. The extended assessment burn severity datasets were generated by applying the Normalized Burn Ratio to pre- and post-fire Landsat imagery. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has entered into a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service (NPS) to deliver satellite imagery and derivitive products centered on major fires that impact national parks and other federal lands. This data set was compiled at the request of a federal land management agency and is part of a suite of products generated for a specific fire.
