Recent conflagrations in Florida, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, and other parts of the world have demonstrated the usefulness of earth-observing satellite data to support fire management and suppression. To make such data readily accessible, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Virginia have established this global fire monitoring Web site that provides up-to-date information about current fires around the globe as well as information about past fires and future plans. The site draws on satellite information from many sources. It includes sections on the state of the science, fire emissions, satellite systems, global data products, regional examples, Earth Orbiting System (EOS) generation sensors, research, related links, a list of references, and a bibliography.
