Keith Weber has been the Director of ISU’s GIS Training and Research Center for more than 25 years. Marty Blair and Keith Weber discuss the NASA RECOVER program, which provides real time information on wildfires across the United States and fire impact on landscape rehabilitation.

In this podcast, Marty Blair and Keith Weber discuss wildfire research at ISU's GIS Training and Research Center (https://giscenter.isu.edu/). They talk specifically about the RECOVER post-fire decision support system funded by NASA. This research uses geographic information systems (GIS) and NASA satellite imagery to help wildfire managers develop the best possible landscape rehabilitation and monitoring plan.
