(for fires) Mesoscale imagery also seems to update every 2.5 minutes, though the display seems to round it off and has imagery intervals of either 2 or 3 minutes. SSEC Geostationary Satellite Imagery Example o
On the other hand, to assess the health of a plant, it is better to use the near-infrared range since healthy vegetation has a brighter reflectance in this spectrum. Infrared and ultraviolet satellite bands can be used to measure chlorophyll in plants and tracking forest fires, among other ...
The constellation will consist of seven microsatellites equipped with infrared sensors that measure daily how much heat is being given off by wildfires. That can help track the intensity of fires and how quickly they're spreading. Smith says the detail is "surprising...
TheWorldView-3SWIR image below is a an example of a heat map using all eight SWIR spectral color bands where the wildfires are most intense at Happy Camp Complex wildfires in 2014, in Klamath National Forest, California. WorldView-3 SWIR (3.7m) Satellite Image of Wildfires in California’s...
Satellite dataproducts and biology-based data analysis can be integrated directly into epidemiological equations to map environmental suitability for a wide range of vector-borne diseases such as fascioliasis, schistosomiasis, leishmaniasis, dengue, malaria, and Chagas (Raso et al., 2007;Brooker et al...

For example, DigitalGlobe's TomNod platform allows users to tag forest fires within ultra-high resolution imagery. GeoWiki.org employs hundreds of thousands of volunteers to make more comprehensive and detailed global land use maps. CollectEarth, an open-source tool created by the FAO, leverages ...
But it isn't just the headline-making record-breakers that scientists are worried about. As of this year, glaciers aremeltingat unprecedented rates due to all this human-induced heat, sea levels areirreversiblyrising as a result of those glaciers melting, coastal communities are being ravaged by...
Wildfires represent only one aspect of this project, Kumar says. This UAV will be able to help in a variety of other operations, including search and rescue missions and battling structural fires. During a large structural fire, for example, firefighters can use the UAV to complete the 360 de...
Infrared and ultraviolet satellite bands can be used to measure chlorophyll in plants and tracking forest fires, among other applications. Modern radar sensors can produce comprehensive 3D models of the Earth, regardless of the cloud cover. This enables a more precise detection of changes in surface...
