NASA | 2013 Wildfires

Dr. Doug Morton discusses the 2013 wildfire season, highlighting its impact and trends observed using NASA satellites. He explains the increase in wildfires globally and in the US over the past 30 years. Future projections indicate that climate change will exacerbate wildfire risks in certain regions. NASA's satellites play a crucial role in monitoring these fires, providing data for global models to understand their effects on the atmosphere. Additional resources are available for those interested in learning more about NASA's efforts in wildfire monitoring.

Discuss the impact of climate change on wildfire patterns as mentioned in the text.
