Re: [Tagging] From the Australian fires (still burning unfortunately) how to map burnt areas

There are some tags documented on the Russian wiki page for key:wood [1] that describe various types of damage to wooded areas, one of which is wood:damage=burnt. I don't think it's been used much outside of Russia, but it seems fairly reasonable for areas likely to regenerate. There have been

For woods the problem is that there are 3 different levels of fire impact, and only the most severe is clearly visible in aerial imagery or from a distance - but this is also quite dangerous to survey in person. ) 1A "crown fire" (US English) burns the tallest trees which comprise the canopy or

Re: [Tagging] Active volcanoes

Yep - I live at the base of Mt Akagi in Japan. Locals know the volcanoes. Some of that is historical, some is local knowledge. I have been hiking on many volcanoes around me. Kusatsu-Shirane was closed in 2014 after a small steam eruption killed/injured some skiers. The hiking, skiing and

[Tagging] From the Australian fires (still burning unfortunately) how to map burnt areas

Hi, I have come across a German mapper who has used 'landuse=brownfield' to map some recently burnt areas in Australia. I know this is not appropriate as it is not a land use, nor does it meet the OSM meaning of 'brownfield' in all situations. Note: this is done in areas, no matter if it
