Parkway dNBR - Google Earth Engine


Using Google Earth Engine, Landsat 9, and NIFC open data, I created an application to show the Normalized Burn Ratio (bNBR) of the Parkway Fire. The Parkway Fire began on 8/4/2022 which was located in Post Falls Community Forest (Quemlin Park) in Post Falls, Idaho. The fire is 100% contained which resulted in 80 acres of community forest burnt. An unattended campfire was deteremined the cause of the fire.

A little information on the LANDSAT collection and images. How to find and consume:

  • I personally use Earth Explorer to locate and browse Landsat data
  • I'll go to the desired area of interest, set a boundary, and search the Landsat Collection 2 Levels 1 & 2
  • Once I find the image I need, Ill extract the information from the title
  • In the below example, I needed to replace: "043027_20230803"
  • var preFire = ee.Image('LANDSAT/LC09/C02/T1/LC09_043027_20230803');
