NEW SENTINEL MISSIONS FOR OPTIMIZED WILDFIRE HAZARD, FORESTRY AND AGRICULTURE MONITORING (SENWISE)

The objective of SENWISE is to develop high-resolution geoinformation tools to advance our understanding of land-atmosphere-human interactions and provide decision-relevant data for facilitating agriculture and forest management practices in Belgium, France, and Italy. This project will help better understand and investigate the synergies between the Copernicus Expansions missions  ROSE-L, LSTM and CHIME for Land applications. The main geoinformation outputs of the study will include notably Historical vegetation inventory, Vegetation water status, Vegetation health, Historical mapping of wildfires, High-resolution fire hazard map and Fire risk map. The work will be performed in close collaboration with stakeholders dealing with civil protection and forest management of each country such as Organisme National des Forets (ONF), Service public de Wallonie (SPW) and Provincia autonoma di Bolzano authorities.
