Abstract
Our research provides a detailed overview of the progress in remotely sensed fire
monitoring techniques, which have been developed and employed for fire occurrence
and detection. Our overview is provided from a literature search of English-peer
reviewed articles, conference proceedings and scientific book sections published
between the periods of 1980 and 2019. Literature reveals that historically, fire detection
through remotely sensed techniques has mainly occurred through ground-based,
airborne and satellite systems. Mathematical models, such as decision tree
models, Species Distribution Models, Dynamic Global Vegetation Models and Global
Climate Models, have also been employed alongside satellite systems to facilitate a
greater understanding of fire dynamics and its susceptibility to changes in ecological
and climatic variables.
