Abstract
Applications of Remote Sensing (RS) has recently attracted increasing attention in wildfire research. In this study, a total of 2842 documents related to remote sensing-based wildfire research (RS-based wildfire research) have been collected from Science Citation Index Expanded database in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOS CC) for analyzing its development and currently popular concerns by using VOSviewer. Results show that the publications exhibit an exponential increase on the whole since 2000. It is identified that the most productive journal is Remote Sensing, with 235 published articles, accounting for 8.27% of the total research publications. The United States is the most prolific country with 1200 documents. NASA, USDA Forest Service and University of Maryland that affiliated to USA are the top three institutions with more than 100 publications. The co-authorship network shows that the application of remote sensing to wildfire attracts a large number of researchers’ attention. The topic analysis demonstrates that the hot topics cover the whole process of wildfire. The reference analysis and co-citation network also confirm this finding.
期刊介绍:
Fire Technology publishes original contributions, both theoretical and empirical, that contribute to the solution of problems in fire safety science and engineering. It is the leading journal in the field, publishing applied research dealing with the full range of actual and potential fire hazards facing humans and the environment. It covers the entire domain of fire safety science and engineering problems relevant in industrial, operational, cultural, and environmental applications, including modeling, testing, detection, suppression, human behavior, wildfires, structures, and risk analysis.
The aim of Fire Technology is to push forward the frontiers of knowledge and technology by encouraging interdisciplinary communication of significant technical developments in fire protection and subjects of scientific interest to the fire protection community at large.
It is published in conjunction with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE). The mission of NFPA is to help save lives and reduce loss with information, knowledge, and passion. The mission of SFPE is advancing the science and practice of fire protection engineering internationally.
