NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) technology demonstration satellite was launched in late 2000 into a tandem orbit, trailing L-7 by 1 min, and carrying a prototype for L-8, which was launched 13 years later. EO-1’s Advanced Land Imager (ALI) demonstrated numerous improved technologies tha...
The number of publications concerning LiDAR data fusion for forests demonstrates a slight general upward trend over the last 10 years, especially in 2022 (Fig.2). LiDAR data from airborne platforms were most commonly used. These airborne platforms include both instruments mounted on UAVs and occupie...
Although aerosol concentrations were lower in the pre-industrial atmosphere than today, model simulations show that relatively high aerosol concentrations could have been maintained over continental regions due to biogenically controlled new particle formation and wildfires. Despite the importance of pre-...
For example, the fiscal year 2017 budget justification report includes only three categories of measures with direct relevance to fire response: percent of acres burned by natural ignition with resource benefits, percent change from the 10-year average for the number of wildfires controlled during ...
Moreover, recent Mediterranean studies have reported accelerated soil loss rate following wildfires [20,21,22], which have been an integral part of the Mediterranean ecosystem. Therefore, the large-scale quantitative assessment of soil loss rate is an essential priority for policy making and ...
