How to Download Active Fire Hot spot from VIIRS and MODIS using QGIS
Environmental issues hugely depends on geospatial data to help get things fixed. Geospatial data can helps in so many ways in every phases of solution formulation related to environmental and disaster issues. A lot of country have launched thousands of satellite platform to helps monitor environment condition on the earth surface. Daily data about various issues are common today. There are many of them so unique, sophisticated, and very useful to support complex analysis to overcome all those environmental and disaster management issues.
One of cool data that recently I found is daily forecast or actual information of fire Hot Spot derived from satellite imagery analysis (MODIS and VIIRS). These data can be accessed freely and easily from free-to-use Open Source GIS package Quantum GIS. By integration with QGIS, you are possible to directly made a forest fire hazard map in daily basis, and advocate the map to the related stakeholders. This is very cool because this is enabling time-efficient analysis and information publishing to the public. If you are excited about how to do it, video tutorial below are happily made by me for you.
