Wildfires 101: How NASA Studies Fires in a Changing World
Changes in our climate, along with other factors, have led to wildfires increasing in intensity, severity, size and duration. From forest floor to space, NASA scientists and collaborators are advancing tools and methods to predict, remotely detect, and ultimately mitigate wildfires. That process starts with understanding fire behavior, tracking them with satellites, and getting that data in the hands of land managers and communities facing record-breaking fire seasons.
