      abstract = {Vegetation fires are prevalent in several regions of the  world, including South/ Southeast Asia (S/SEA). Fire  occurrence and spread are influenced by fuel type,  topography, climate, weather, and lightning, among others.  In S/SEA, human-initiated fires are responsible for most of  the incidents in addition to natural factors. Through  biomass burning, vegetation fires can emit large quantities  of greenhouse gases and air pollutants such as CO2, CO,  NOx, CH4, non-methane hydrocarbons, and other chemical  species, including aerosols that can affect air quality and  health at both local and regional scales. Moreover, biomass  burning pollutants can travel long distances and impact  regional climate. Therefore, quantifying vegetation fires  and their impacts is critical at different spatial scales.  This book includes contributions from renowned researchers  from the USA and South/ Southeast Asia on various  fire-related topics. The contributions resulted from  several international meetings and workshops organized in  Asia as part of the South/ Southeast Asia Research  Initiative (SARI) under the NASA Land-Cover/Land-Use Change  Program. The book is divided into three sections, each  containing multiple contributions: a) Mapping, Monitoring,  and Modeling of Vegetation Fires, b) Greenhouse Gas  Emissions and Air Pollution, and c) Air Pollution Modeling  and Decision Support Systems. These sections are preceded  by an introductory chapter by the editors that highlights  the latest satellite-derived fire statistics and the  current fire situation in S/SEA. This book will be a  valuable resource for remote sensing scientists,  geographers, ecologists, atmospheric, climate,  environmental scientists, including policymakers, and all  who wish to advance their knowledge on vegetation fires and  emissions in South/Southeast Asia.},
