Very complex pattern driven by fuel availability and variable winds. Always fascinating.
Fire in the remote Gibson Desert. Sentinel2 imagery from a couple of days ago. Not sure about this ignition. Seems far from a road and minimal storm activity this time of year....

Had a great week at the Living Planet Symposium 2025 (#lps25) in Vienna. It was great to meet people I hadn't meet for a long time or not in person at all and make new contacts. Thanks for organising @esa.int! Well done!

Science’s ‘Gollum effect’: PhDs bear brunt of territorial behaviour
Survey respondents at all career stages report colleagues engaging in territorial and possessive behaviours — but early-career researchers are most often affected.

Large ephemeral lakes in Northern Australia flooded in 2023, retaining enough water to remain filled through the 2024-25 wet season. NASA #MODIS imagery shows the evolution between Nov 2022 & Nov 2024. A natural-color #Landsat 8 image shows the extent on Oct 30, 2024.
