Olga Viedma is geographer and PhD in Environmental Sciences specializing in remote sensing and GIS at the University of Alcalá de Henares (Spain) (1999). She belongs to the Fire Ecology and Global Change group (http://blog.uclm.es/grupofuego) from the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM). Her main research is focused on forest fires with interest in the development of standard methodologies for mapping fires from satellite images, analysis of spatio-temporal patterns of forest fires, post-fire effects, and spatio-temporal modeling of landscape fire hazards. Nowadays, she is working with high-density LiDAR data to estimate fire effects on vegetation.
