Tiger conservation areas in Nepal: investigating spatio-temporal patterns in the risk from fire hazard
Your assignment must be no longer than 1800 words (and conform to AU word count policy). Within this you should include the following information:
1. An introduction to factors which are likely to spatially influence fire risk to tiger habitat in Nepal
2. A quantitative assessment as to what environmental factors are linked with fire events in Nepal (processing the data provided) and how these events vary temporally
3. An assessment of how fire has affected tiger habitat between 2000 and 2013
4. Provide a critical appraisal of your analysis highlighting (i) the limitations of analysing the temporal data within GIS (ii) suggestions for how more sophisticated methods could be used to map predicted risk, and (iii) any implications for management of tiger habitat in relation to fire risk
