How NASA scientists are monitoring and predicting wildfires from space
Manage episode 490736601 series 3312054
Climate change has brought forth extreme fire events, like the Palisade and Eaton fires in Los Angeles, which devastated communities in Altadena and the Pacific Palisades in the beginning of 2025. And it’s becoming harder to not wonder: Is this just the world we live in now? Under the constant threat of catastrophic fires? Fortunately, we have the perfect guests to answer that question. We traveled to NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and spoke with two of their scientists who study fires from space.
