Episode 95: Wildfires from Space

Join CSPS’s David Eccles as he talks to experts Joshua Johnston, PhD (Forest Fire Research Scientist, Canadian Forest Service), Everett Hinkley (National Remote Sensing Program Manager, US Forest Service), and Dr. Dee Pack (Director Remote Sensing Dept, Aerospace).
