The GOLIAT project aims to develop tools for fire fighting and land use planning. It is being carried out by various partners: the University of Corsica, the National Forest Office, the Fire and Rescue Service of South & North Corsica, the Fire and Rescue Service of Upper Corsica, the Corsican Regional Nature Park, Aix-Marseille University and the company Arobase. This programme started in January 2020 and will last for three and a half years.
The University of Corsica is the leader of the GOLIAT project. Within the institution, this programme is carried out by the Environmental Sciences Laboratory, University of Corsica - CNRS (UMR 6134 SPE), which has been working for more than 20 years on the question of forest fires.
The project is co-financed up to 1 779 316 € by the Corsican Collectivity and the State under the CPER 2015-2020.
