Summary
This dataset is composed of 97 Differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) images. Each dNBR represents a rough measure of fire-related vegetation change for wildfires (>400 ha) that occurred in the Sky Island Mountains within the Madrean Archipelago Ecoregion of the United States and Northern Mexico. These fires occurred between 2011 and 2017 and were mapped using Landsat 7 and 8 satellite imagery.

This database was created for the purpose of determining the approximate severity of wildfires in the Madrean Archipelago Ecoregion from 2011 to 2017, and analyzing the relationship between anthropogenic land uses, climate and fire severity. This dataset has a companion dataset of the perimeters of the fires mapped for this analysis: Villarreal, M.L., Poitras, T.B, and Conrad, C.R.
