Research
- Landscape fire
- Earth observation
- Smoke emissions
- Combustion phase
Farrer's PhD research at King’s focused on determining fire characteristics from remote sensing and their relationship with the smoke produced, as well as how well these new techniques can be used to improve wildfire emissions estimates. He was the science lead for FIDEX, a recent airborne campaign measuring wildfires in Canada (August 2023). Currently, Farrer works on the ESA FRM4Fire project, which is an ESA-funded project developing field measurement protocols for validating earth observation-based fire products.
