Analyzing wildfire patterns and climate interactions in Campania, Italy: A multi-sensor remote sensing study by Hanieh Dadkhah, Divyeshkumar Rana, Ebrahim Ghaderpour, Paolo Mazzanti

“…To complement the regional assessment, a case study of the 2017 wildfire on Ischia Island is also presented, employing Sentinel-2 imagery for differenced normalized burn ratio (dNBR) mapping and dynamic world land cover data for detecting short-term post-fire land cover changes. The findings highlight the importance of integrating low to high-resolution satellite images to capture both broad-scale climate–fire interactions and localized fire dynamics, supporting improved wildfire susceptibility assessment in Mediterranean landscapes.…”
