Limassol: Burnt Area Estimated at 104 sq km by Eratosthenes Center of Excellence

The Eratosthenes Center of Excellence of CUT, based on high-resolution satellite data, has determined the burnt area in Limassol to be 104 square kilometers.

The assessment was made using WorldView Legion satellite images with a resolution of 30 centimeters, taken without interference from smoke or clouds, allowing high accuracy. The image processing used GTFire, an advanced forest fire monitoring tool that combines real-time satellite data with predictive models.

The analysis was conducted in collaboration with the Forest Management and Remote Sensing Laboratory of AUTh and GEOSYSTEMS HELLAS (GSH). The Eratosthenes Center maintains a strategic partnership with TheGoldentwins platform, within the framework of the co-funded ESA Φ-lab InCubed TheGoldenTwins program.
