1) Prescribed artificial forest burn is conducted on 5th July
1999 at Caribou Poker Creek Water shed(CPCW). Direct observation
by Satellite image is planned to conduct for plume and aerosol
emission.
2) Post fire observations of vegetation, hydrological aspects,
atmospheric compound are conducted at the site as the ground truth
measurement for future remote sensing analysis.
3) Joint field investigations between permafrost dynamics, forest
dynamics and atmospheric compound and remote sensing group are
planned to be carried out.
4) The processes of degradation permafrost, regeneration of
forest are planed to monitor on-the-spot in rather long term.
5) Scale up works of the influence of boreal forest fire in
time and space are planned to be conducted by mainly remote sensing
group using IARC facility.
6) Quantitative evaluation of boreal forest fire is established
by the overall analyses.
