Global Vegetation Monitoring Unit
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” WORKSHOPJRC – Ispra, 18-22 March 2002
Global Vegetation Monitoring Unit
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)
GBA-2000 Product definition
Global Vegetation Monitoring Unit
GBA-2000 General approach
7 co-investigators CSIRO, 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)

5 regional algorithms have been selected the moist tropical forest remains a problem
the global processing chain is complete and running
