Fire Weather Index (FWI) for Interior Alaska on July 22, 2006. FWI is a numerical rating between 0 and 30 where higher values indicate a higher risk of wildfire.
New data from Alaska quantify the daily weather conditions and risk of wildfire from 2001 to 2010.

The Atmospheric Carbon and Transport America (ACT-America) project is conducting airborne campaigns across three regions in the eastern United States to study the transport of atmospheric carbon.
NASA's ACT-America mission measured atmospheric CO2, CO, CH4, and O3 concentrations across the Eastern USA in 2016.
Date of Burning (DoB) was estimated for areas within each fire scar across Alaska and Canada. In this figure, red areas are fire scar locations across central Canada in 2015.
New data from NASA's ABoVE project provide maps of the date of burning within fire scars across Alaska and Canada from 2001-2015.
Typical plot photo for ground cover estimates and location of LAI measurements. A rangepole with GPS and a camera boom was positioned at 2-meter intervals along plot transects. This photo is from the Hollister, Sagebrush01 plot, and the Sagebrush01_5_4 sampling point.
New field data describes vegetation in southern Idaho in order to validate remotely-sensed data in the region.
