Quantify the Impacts of a Fire Using MODIS and Landsat Remote Sensing Data in Python


Welcome to Week 8!

Welcome to week 8 of Earth Analytics! This week you will work with MODIS and Landsat data to calculate burn indices.

Download Cold Springs Fire Data (~150 MB)

Or use earthpy et.data.get_data('cold-springs-fire')

2. Complete the Assignment Using the Template for this week.

(10 points) Please note that like the flood report, this assignment is worth more points than a usual weekly assignment. You have 1 week to complete this assignment. Start early!
