A St Albans man has been awarded an MBE for his services to landscape fire research and wildfire monitoring.
Martin Wooster, a professor at King’s College London (KCL), is an expert on satellite Earth observation and the quantification of landscape fire.
He was appointed Professor of Earth Observation Science at KCL in 2005.
Martin’s key research interest lies in quantifying the role and implications played by vegetation fires.
In a statement addressing the 1,200 honours recipients, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said: “Each and every day, ordinary people go out and do extraordinary things for their communities.
“They represent the very best of the UK and that core value of service which I put at the centre of everything this government does.
“The New Year Honours List celebrates more of these unsung heroes, and I thank them for their incredible contribution.”
