Huge boreal forest fire may cause massive impacts not only on global warming gas emission but also local communities. Thus,
it is important to control forest fire. We collected data about boreal forest fire as satellite imagery and fire observation
simultaneously in Alaska and east Siberia in summer fire seasons for these three years. Fire observation data was collected
from aircraft flying between Japan and Europe. Fire detection results were compared with observed data to evaluate the
accuracy and earliness of automatic detection. NOAA and MODIS satellite images covering Alaska and East Siberia are
collected.
We are also developing fire expansion simulation model to forecast the possible fire expansion area. On the basis of fire
expansion forecast, risk analysis of possible fire expansion for decision aid of fire-fighting activities will be analyzed.
To identify the risk of boreal forest fire and public concern about forest fire, we collected local news paper in Fairbanks,
AK and discuss the statistics of articles related to forest fire on the newspaper.
