Four other notable Earth observation satellites (Fig.4) of interest to ecologists include the SMAP (Soil Moisture Active Passive) satellite, a 2015 mission with an active radar (no longer functioning), but the passive radiometer continues to function flawlessly after 5 years (of a 3-year mis...

At a landscape-scale, multiple studies have documented that fusing ALS data with Landsat and Sentinel-2 satellite images improve total fuel estimates [168]. Specifically, [161] demonstrated that 24-32% of the remaining variability in surface fuels, uncharacterized by ALS data, can be explained by...
In the south, where our case study region is located, shrublands were transformed to oak woodlands and agricultural lands during the first half of the twentieth century, after which both oak woodlands and forest plantations have increased, as did high severity wildfire more recently (Oliveira et ...
The WildFireSat Mission WildFireSat is a satellite initiative with a planned launch late in 2024 by a consortium of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA; Table4), the Canadian Forest Service (CFS), as part of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), ta...
