The Global Social Sensing Project is developing new data sources and methods for curating data at scale related to the societal impact and social disruption of natural hazard events. This data is critically important for use in the Earth Sciences, natural hazards research, and in real-time response.

Earth Lab takes a collaborative, big-data approach to answering some of our most pressing questions related to fire. We seek to understand what controls fire in the landscape, how fire is changing, and what this means for society.

If you’re like us and you love studying fire ecology, you know that there are many satellite-derived datasets to choose from, but the collection may be unreliable and a steep learning curve exists. That’s where FIRED (Fire Events Delineation) comes in.
