Following the First Fire Rapid Assessment carried out on 4/7/2021 via low-definition means, there has been a second assessment of the areas that have been burned in the recent catastrophic fire in Cyprus.
The Eratosthenes Center of Excellence of the Cyprus University of Technology, the project EXCELSIOR H2020 TEAMING, the Remote Sensing and Geoenvironment laboratory of the Department of Civil Engineering and Geoinformatics of CUT and the laboratory of Forest Management and Remote Sighting of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki provide the second assessment of Cyprus burned soil using the medium- to high-definition means SENTINEL-1 and SENTINEL -2 of the COPERNICUS program. The area in question is about 40 square kilometers.
A new assessment carried out with higher definition satellite means is expected depending on the availability of new satellite shots. It is noted that in this assessment a new satellite image dated 7/7/2021 (with limited cloud cover) along with image processing algorithms were used.
This project was executed by Maria Prodromou, researcher at the ‘Eratosthenes Center of Excellence’ of the Cyprus University of Technology / EXCELSIOR H2020 TEAMING project / the Remote Sensing and Geoenvironment laboratory of the Department of Civil Engineering and Geoinformatics of the University and Stephanos Papaiordanidis from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The project was coordinated by Prof. Diofantos G. Hatzimitsis of CUT (coordinator of the project EXCELSIOR H2020 TEAMING) & Prof. Ioannis Gita of the Aristotle University. Aristotle University participates in the EXCELSIOR H2020 Teaming project as one of the main strategic partners.
