We’ve invited astrophysicists to talk about the cutting-edge research taking place in their fields of research and to answer some big questions in astronomy and space science.
Fires are a globally occurring natural phenomenon, but their escalating frequency and intensity have sparked growing concern regarding their impacts on human health, livelihoods, and the atmosphere. In this talk, Dr. Will Maslanka showcases how Earth Observers use both geostationary and polar orbiting satellites to monitor and assess global wildfire activity in near real time, to better understand where wildfire activity is changing, and what that means in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.
