Global Burnt Area 2000 Project

This project employs ArcIMS, which gives users the ability to overlay burned area maps with other sources of information such as country borders, national park boundaries, and land cover. Throughout major portions of the earth, fires are known to contribute significantly to the injection of gases and other pollutants into the atmosphere. This adversely affects vegetation cover. Scientists and policy makers are looking for reliable and quantitative information on the magnitude and spatial distribution of biomass burning. The Global Burnt Area 2000 initiative was launched by a coalition from the United Nations and six other institutions to produce a map of the areas burned globally for the year 2000 and derive statistics of areas burned per type of vegetation cover. In addition to overlaying the maps with other information sources, the application informs users of the status of the project.
