How NASA Is Using Satellite Systems To Help Fight Wildfires

The video discusses NASA's use of satellite technology to monitor thermal anomalies and detect fires globally. It explains how data is collected and transmitted to aid fire management and response. The impact of climate change on fire activity is highlighted, noting increased fire-prone conditions in certain regions. However, globally, fire activity has decreased due to landscape changes. The importance of advancing monitoring systems for future wildfire management is emphasized.
