  Analysis of Wildfire Occurrences within the Shores of Lake Chad using Geo-information Technology

  By Haruna. K. Ayuba, Anthony Dami, Mohammed .D. Bila

  Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Geographic Information Technology provides an important tool in modeling ecosystem dynamics. One of the drivers of ecosystem change in the Lake Chad Basin is wildfire. This paper examines the historical spatial patterns of wildfires and employed a trend analysis using Geographic Information System (GIS) technique in analyzing fire pixel counts from MODIS images of the period 2001-2009. The results revealed a …

  Spatio-temporal Distribution of Wildfire Occurrences on the Lake Floor of Lake Chad Based on Remotely Sensed Data

  By Anthony Dami, H. K. Ayuba, Mohammed .D. Bila

  Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE This paper analyzes the spatio-temporal distribution of wildfire occurrences on the lake floor of the Lake Chad using satellite remote sensing data. A combination of field survey and computation of fire pixel counts from MODIS images for the period 2001–2009 form the basis for this analysis. The result revealed that the highest number of fires occurred in 2001, with varying figures in …
