SeverusPT

Using satellite and field data, the SeverusPT project aims to provide, in a periodic and timely manner, relevant information on the evaluation and prediction of burn severity. By including national entities engaged in fire management, planning and land management, Earth Observation and the general public, the project aims to monitor, protect and support ecosystem restoration. SeverusPT is a scientific research and development project in the scope of the 2019 Forest Fire Prevention and Fighting Call, funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT, ref. nr.: PCIF/RPG/0170/2019). SeverusPT is led by BIOPOLIS/CIBIO/InBIO – Center of Excellence in Environmental Biology, Ecosystem Research and AgroBiodiversity of the University of Porto in consortium with IPVC – Polytechnic Institute of Viana do Castelo, which together form the project core development team.
