What's in it
- Data offered docs-verified
- Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) 6-band surface reflectance scenes of burn scars · Binary burn scar masks (1 = burn scar, 0 = not burned, -1 = missing data)
- Coverage docs-verified
- contiguous United States · 2018-2021
- Resolution docs-verified
- 512x512 pixel chips per scene; ground pixel size not stated in docs
- Formats docs-verified
- TIFF
- Access docs-verified
- Open licence cc-by-4.0; public download, not gated
Useful for
- Use cases llm-inferred
- Train or validate burn scar segmentation models on HLS imagery for post-fire mapping workflows · Benchmark satellite burn scar detection against MTBS-derived reference masks · Build a fire-affected land layer for ecological condition or habitat reporting inputs
- Audience llm-inferred
- GIS analysts · remote sensing specialists · ecologists · ML engineers
Limitations
- Constraints llm-inferred
- Contiguous US only, 2018-2021 only · Only 804 scenes; the split row counts total 1,068, which does not match the stated scene count · Dataset viewer unavailable (split parsing error), so files must be downloaded directly · Chips are centred on MTBS burn scars, so they are not a random sample of land cover
