Differences in flammability and risk between human- and lightning-ignited fires are obvious. Our new paper reveals this issue with strong implications for fire modeling and management.
PNAS Nexus@PNASNexus19 Feb 2025
Risky days for anthropogenic fires are growing faster than risky days for lightning-caused fires. Human-caused fires can occur in wetter conditions, as they ignite in dead grass or wood, rather than in the moist canopy where lightning strikes. Read now: ow.ly/c2X650V290e

📢Radeloff et al. (2024) discuss the need to monitor global changes in #climate, #landcover, and #landuse, which threaten natural ecosystems, #biodiversity, and vital ecosystem services. ➡️It proposes creating a suite of 13 essential global medium-resolution satellite data products to track and monitor spatiotemporal changes. These products, designed for both management and scientific purposes, will enhance understanding of the hydrosphere, cryosphere, and biosphere.🌊🧊🌲 ➡️The paper emphasizes leveraging the capabilities of #Landsat and #Sentinel2 satellites, building upon the success of @NASA's MODIS/VIIRS products. This initiative aims to provide high-level, standardized, and consistent products to fulfill the long-standing vision of the Landsat program​​. 🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️ #OpenAccess: doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2023.1…

Mainstreaming the use of Cold War spy-satellite images for ecology and conservation! New review paper out in BioScience led by @catalinamunte 👉 academic.oup.com/bioscience/… @BiogeoBerlin, @HumboldtUni, @MSCActions @EJMilnerGulland @SilvisLab

The potential of historical spy-satellite imagery to support research in ecology and conservation

Abstract. Remote sensing data are important for assessing ecological change, but their value is often restricted by their limited temporal coverage. Major

Spatio-temporal indices show hotspots of high & low conservation concern. Use spatial & inter-annual variability in veg greenness & land surface temp. #MODIS for inter-annual variability. #Landsat texture for spatial variability. @SilvisLab Silveira etal. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
