Burned Area Chapada das Mesas National Park.

Data: Burned Area - Landsat 30 meters.

Purpose: A burned area product that maps the extent of burned coverage in Chapada Das Mesas National Park and Buffer Zone (20 km). This asset is the result of the mapping manual vectorization of fire scars and visual detection with products with a finer resolution (Landsat - TM, ETM, and OLI sensors) with 30 meters of the resolution spacial, with a standardized mapping scale at 1:25.000.

Coverage: Chapada Das Mesas National Park - CMNP (1600.46 km²) and Buffer Zone - 20km (4808.85 km²).

Period: 1990 to 2017.

Spatial resolution: 30 meters.

Product: Annual and Monthly Burned Area.

Coordinate reference system: Geographic Coordinate System with Datum WGS-84 (EPSG:4326).

Dataset usage: It is free to use, but if you use this dataset in your work, please cite the repository and our paper correctly. We also welcome users to invite us for collaboration.
