FireWatchMapping the burnt area automatically - (please click on image below for animation)
This fire moved north parallel to the Stewart Highway in the NT.
A back-burn wasperformed to stop the fire spreadingnorth and was successful.
Eventually the movement of the fire to the East was stopped by a fire break inthe North-South direction.

How much data being handled?• Seven satellites NOAA15/16/17/18, Terra, Aqua, MTSAT-1R
processed in NRT each day
• 18GB/day of MODIS + 6GB AVHRR (24 GB/day) transferred each day through Aarnet.
• Aarnet bandwidth 100MBits/s limited by firewall, potential much higher
• FireWatch 5GB/month, all services 9GB/month delivered to clients daily
• To provide MODIS from Darwin to LAPAN or MoF for processing - 6GB/day

1. Impact of FireWatch on Fire management in Tropical Savannas?
Quite simply FireWatch has totally transformed operational fire management across the northern Australia
2. What has been the significance of the on-line delivery to end users who make the critical management decisions ?
Availability of reliable, timely mapping data from satellite has transformed our operations.
Assessment of FireWatch by Dr Jeremy Russell-Smith, Northern Territory:
www.landgate.wa.gov.au
Satellite Remote Sensing Services, Landgate
3. Future of FireWatch for Carbon Accounting?
Enormous, given that burning of savannas is an accountable activity under the Kyoto Protocol.
Equally significant to the fire-prone savanna landscapes in Indonesia, especially where vulnerable small forest patches are embedded in the savanna matrix
4. Future developments of FireWatch ?
Building on Western Arnhem Land Fire Abatement (WALFA) project, especially in eastern Indonesia and Papua.
$1million pa for 17 years will be payed to WALFA by Conoco-Philips for its oil refining in Darwin.

Satellite Remote Sensing Services, LandgateEmissions abatement opportunities from savanna burning
• Kyoto Protocol—Prescribed burning of savannas a listed accountable activity in the Agriculture sector
• reported in Australia’s NGGI – annually ~2-4% of Australia’s GHG emissions
• includes all fire emissions from tropical savannas and temperate grasslands –assumes all fires anthropogenic
• currently only CH4, N2O accounted for, but other GHG gases to be included in future (CO, VOCs, NOx)
• economic opportunity – does not involve C property rights (e.g. C sequestration in plantations), but accounts for abatement of GHG emissions from savanna fires relative to baselines

Future of ICT
• Many believe that ICT revolution is over, others that the last 20 year was a warm up
• The real revolution is about to begin as the complementarities begin to work together
• ICT will transform every aspect of business, life and society
