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
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 Near Real-Time Data | NASA Earthdata Fires can be set naturally, such as by lightning, or by humans, whether intentionally or accidentally Fire is often thought of as a menace and detriment to life, but in some ecosystems it is necessary to maintain the equilibrium, for example, some plants only release seeds under high temperatures that can only be achieved by fire, fires can also clear undergrowth and brush to help restore
Wildfire Suppression | NASA Earthdata Working in conjunction with specially designed firefighting aircraft, these wildfire-trained crews suppress flames, construct firelines, and extinguish flames and areas of heat to protect resources and natural wilderness Wildfire suppression also addresses the issues of the wildland-urban interface, where populated areas border with wildland
Wildfires in Los Angeles, California | NASA Earthdata This false-color corrected reflectance image of fires in Los Angeles, California, including the Palisades, Hurst, and Eaton Fires, was captured on January 8, 2025, by NASA's MODIS instrument aboard the Aqua platform
Data Tool in Focus: Fire Information for Resource Management System These data are displayed on the system's interactive Global and US Canada Fire Maps, which allow users to visualize the location, extent, and impact of wildfire with minimal delay Image Each colored dot on this FIRMS Global Fire Map of South America indicates a thermal anomaly, most likely a burning fire, detected by the MODIS and VIIRS
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
High Aerosol Index from Canadian Wildfires | NASA Earthdata High aerosol index values due to large wildfires in the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta are visible in this true-color corrected reflectance image overlaid with aerosol index (high values are in shades of red)
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
