Wildfires - World Health Organization (WHO) Wildfire smoke is a mixture of air pollutants of which particulate matter (PM) is the principal public health threat PM 2 5 from wildfire smoke is associated with premature deaths in the general population, and can cause and exacerbate diseases of the lungs, heart, brain nervous system, skin, gut, kidney, eyes, nose and liver
Wildfires | NASA Earthdata Wildfire is an essential process connecting terrestrial systems to the atmosphere and climate As vegetation burns, it releases smoke, carbon, and other materials into the atmosphere These fires also release nutrients into the soil and are an integral part of ecological succession, plant germination, and soil enhancement
Water Use Efficiency, Carbon Mapping, and Wildfire Prediction ECOSTRESS Enhances Wildfire Prediction Wildfires are an growing burden and ongoing threat to many western regions in the United States As climate and water availability patterns change and expand the frequency of wildfires, it is becoming increasingly important to understand fire events
FIRMS | NASA Earthdata The Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) provides access, with minimal delay, to satellite imagery, active fire hotspots, and related products to identify the location, extent, and intensity of wildfire activity FIRMS tools and applications provide geospatial data, products, and
The Big and Small of Fire in Africa | NASA Earthdata The NASA data that Davies, Ichoku, Rasolohery, and many others use to track and study wildfire provide critical information they need to determine what blazes mean for African communities Understanding the data can certainly be complex and nuanced at times, such as when viewing hundreds of tiny fire points on a world map
Evolution of a Wildfire | NASA Earthdata Science Objectives First responders and civic officials can utilize thermal anomalies and fire products from lower-resolution remote sensing instruments, such as the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (), to monitor how a fire is evolving
Discover Enhanced Wildfire System Capabilities with NASAs FIRMS The features of the Advanced mode support wildfire practitioners and emergency response personnel who require additional information and context to inform active fire management and tactical wildfire response (including the ability to refine the active fire detection temporal search range to hourly and sub-daily [+10 minute] increments)
Canadian Wildfires | NASA Earthdata The red dots in the embedded image above are thermal anomalies detected by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite instrument aboard the joint NASA NOAA NOAA-20 satellite on July 17, 2024, and indicate the approximate location of burning fires and blowing smoke across western and central Canada
Urban Heat Islands, Wildfire Risk Mapping, and . . . - Earthdata Read highlights of three publications that detail how NASA Earth observation data empowers researchers to map urban heat patterns in Munich, predict wildfire risk in Sardinia using vegetation phenology, and identify archaeological resource networks in Peru
Wildfire Detection in the US and Canada Within a Minute of Satellite . . . This is the first routine service provided by FIRMS for detecting wildfires over the continental United States from NASA and NOAA low-Earth orbit satellites with a latency of less than 60 seconds from Earth observation to wildfire detection
