Scientists develop satellite tech to measure eucalypt flammability
Original: Scientists develop tech to measure eucalypt flammability from space
Australian researchers have developed technology that allows scientists to measure how flammable eucalypt forests are from space, using satellite data. Eucalypts are highly fire-prone trees central to Australian bushfire risk, and the technique could improve fire danger forecasting and help authorities prepare for bushfire seasons by monitoring vegetation flammability across vast, remote landscapes without ground surveys.
Why now: Bushfire risk and satellite monitoring are timely concerns in Australia, especially ahead of fire seasons.
