ArcFUEL Life+ contract

The EC Life+ programme (20 years in 2012)Concluded Life projects since 1990 (Medspa)Proposal submitted 2010; awarded 2011International Life+ with partners known to the JRC except EPSILONDuration: 1/10/11; 27 months/5 years, i.e., (M9/M12/M27+)Endeavors & Delivery: Fuel map for the Med countries (Fire Management) Added value service for 5 years

Contacted JRC prior to proposal submission: Asked for coop, after award Today’s meeting expectations (30/6/2012 & after)


Contractual approach

4

ArcFUEL is an alternative FUELMAP, i.e.: Satellite data to vegetation map Vegetation map & ancillary data to fuel mapTarget 50X50 resolutionLess than 20 vegetation types and database of fuel model parameters for fire modelingLinked to models for FF apps, i.e.: Booklet for fuel types, models & parameters 5 years webservice Wide dissemination Life+ promotion


Evolution of approach

Kick-off meeting (Oct/Ath), 1st Technical (4-5/11)We felt it appropriate not to re-invent the wheel to a large extent; rather to go “one step” further.On 4/11/11 we elaborated a revised approach to: Capitalize on FUELMAP Wisely send the EC/Life funding Produce ArcFUEL with added value/FUELMAP Mutual benefits and usage (in partnership)

Today the revised approach Introduction Partners input JRC commenting

Revised approach

6


Phase-I: Product [B]

7


Input data

Static (2003) & dynamicNo strong emphasis in satellite as in FUELMAPUse of FUELMAP for fuel typesFUELMAP for 50X50 and … CORINE LC, F/NF, LPIS, Google,

…, DEM Other data & info

INSPIRE (final product)Other jointly coordinated

8


Input & INSPIRE (EPSIT)Spatial datasets Identification of the applicable target

model Initial investigation of NZ (Annex III), but too

generic for ArcFUEL purposes Current investigation of LC (Annex II)

MetadataNetwork services View services (WMS/WCS) Discovery services (CSW)?

FUELMAP (output and intermediate steps) downscaled from 52 to 20 (e.g., correlations, merging of types, new types).Classification with experience, use of classification rules, use of the new EEA report.First draft Booklet presenting Fuel Types characteristics. Database for 20 fuel types."20" is indicative for communication at this stage. It can e.g. be 18 or 17.Reference year 2003 of FUELMAP.Basically reclassification of FUELMAP to “20” types; thus access to FUELMAP.

20 fuel types (Algo+ADAI)

1. Evergreen Conifers2. Evergreen Broadleaved3. Deciduous Broadleaved4. Mixed forests5. Tall shrubs6. Low shrubs7. Phrygana (sub-shrubs)8. Grass

1st Level Fuel-Types Map

Use of new 20 fuel types + CORINE + Ecoregions + F/NF db +…Not only use of the 52 output map, but also use of intermediary steps & procedures of FUELMAP.Apply GIS “rules” (e.g., h>200m ….), correlation to Booklet ❷Downscaling/reclassification of FUELMAP to 50X50|20|2003JRC can do it; RTD? (INSPIRE,.., rules)Thus we need the JRC coopProduction of the 1st basemap

12


Scope is to: (i) better (refined) mapping results by considering vegetation density, and (ii) get better classification of fuel types (e.g., tall vs. low vegetation & dense vs. non-dense vegetation).Target is: (i) better fuel-types parameterization, (ii) enhancement documentation of fuel types (booklet), (ii) Assistance to validation process.Aim: to use better fuels info for “ff propagation” (modeling) and not for vegetation info per se.Use of LANDSAT (30X30m no cost) or Spot if offered to us.Past example Hellenic Fire Brigade (Chalkidiki, GR)RTD effort involves; AUTH (Ioannis), better accuracy than CORINEAdded value to FUELMAP work & workflow with INSPIRE,…

Density map (AUTH)

14

Stratification based on delineated ArcFUEL typesCalculation of various VIs (NDVI, PVI, SAVI etc) using LANDSAT or SPOT dataGrouping of pixels with similar DN valuesSelection of training regions based on datasets resulted from previous AUTh work (e.g. field surveys)Identification of thresholds per strata based on forest expertiseThree classes of vegetation densityEstimation of density for each cell of the ArcFUEL Inspire Grid (50 x 50)


2nd level 20-FTM

Correlation of ❸+❹ to new product [B]Confirmation of “final fuel map” (e.g., type of forest) to a “quasi static” map (20 fuel types)First level Life+ deliverable; added value to past work & R&D ❹

This is the “best possible” 50X50|20|2003 map, producible e.g., every 5 yrs (JRC+)Easy updates; “standard” product.The production of the “dynamics” follow.

15


Phase II: ArcFUEL

16


3rd Level “23” FTM

“Dynamic” level (annual; WUI, PL, BA) based on data of 2003~2012, based on the “quasi-static”New fuel types via f([A]+[B]+❹+❺)New fuel types & characteristics derivation =f(2003) > 2012 and every year after (2012+)Methodology = f(GIS) + R&D Rules + the 3 new have “characteristics” like the 20 fuels via Processing and data of 2012

New Map 50X50|23|2012+ (annual dynamic)New fuels parameterization needed(next step)Advantage: Annual state-of-state service with annual dynamics & JRC dynamics (2003+).

17


23 FT booklet

23 fuel types parameterization for modeling (e.g., ArcFUEL, FARSITE)Production of database & booklet with fotos & parameters, eg. kJ/km2

Verification, validation, etc testing in each country of applications (pilot test areas)Final tuning & delivery: Booklet with 23 types & their parametersFrance is missing to cover entire EU-Mediterranean (via dissemination/JRC)Correlation to FUELMAP possible

18


ArcFUEL Map/pilots

4 Pilot applications & validation: 1GR, 1IT, 1ES, 1PT)Final pilot-areas map: 50x50|23|2012Ready for full scale production of: 100% Greece 100% Portugal 2 Regions in Italy (Calabria, Sardinia) 2 Regions in Spain (Andalusia: Cordoba,

Malaga)

ArcFUEL webGIS/ArcGIS-ESRI delivery: Database, maps, booklet, webservice Start of real dissemination process

19


Dissemination/Bus.model

20


Summary issuesA Life+ contractual technical approach adjustment is rational only under a JRC collaboration/support.FUELMAP added value and dynamic ArcFUEL workflow production is linked to a JRC endorsement.User Requirements: Web-Questionnaire sent in November 2011JRC benefit (in our view) receipt of ArcFUEL for in-house use, etc.ArcFUEL Consortium benefit (in our view) dynamics of updating & service.ArcFUEL schedule: M9 (30.6.12), M12 (30.9.12), M27 (30.12.13).

21


Other & Closure

In case of coop, JRC to join ArcFUEL at formal Life+ prologue.This was a presentation made by an ArcFUEL concerted proposal.EPSILON has practice to conclude success story EC RTD projects and expects a similar ArcFUEL delivery.Webservice via Agreement next to all applicable Life+ obligations.Our appreciation for today.
