Diachronic Inventory of Forest Fires, aims to depict the results of the diachronic mapping of burned areas over Greece for the last 40 years (1984 to 2024).

Inside the GUI interface of the web service, the user is able to select and switch between a set of datasets as follows::

1. Background Layers: The cartographic background layers over which the burned areas’ geometries are displayed. The following options are available
   a. High resolution LSO/VLSO Orthophotos of Ktimatologio S.A. http://www.ktimatologio.gr
   b. ESRI World Imagery background
   c. Mosaic of Landsat satellite images

2. Fire Layers: The Burn Scar Mapping (BSM) data layers depict:
   a. The burned areas (fire polygons) per year. The year of interest is selected using the sliding selector function.
   b. Areas which have been burned more times through the studied years. Different colors are used to depict the number of times a fire has occurred in the same area (Fire Frequency Layer).
   c. All fire polygons mapped through the years over Greece - Diachronic BSM Layer.

3. Auxiliary Layers: The auxiliary information layers, namely
   a. The CORINE Land Cover
   b. A heatmap layer, which at the same time thematically depicts the size, the location and the density of the fire events per year.
   c. A “mask out” layer depicting areas that were not studied due to the omission of satellite data in the USGS archives.
