Newton Heath in Dorset has also burnt (25ha) this month. As cool as satellite images are, why can't we monitor these locations and try to prevent these events? #eochat @guyshrubsole.bsky.social @tonyjuniper.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @vikkislademp.bsky.social @ukspaceagency.bsky.social

Two #Copernicus #Sentinel-2 images show the massive burn scar of ~100 km2 in northeast #Scotland caused by a fire between 28 June to 2 July. Uplands need better management, including rewilding & rewetting. #eochat @guyshrubsole.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @wildjustice.bsky.social

First completely clear #Copernicus #Sentinel-2 image of the Cut Hill burn scar on #Dartmoor. 390 ha of damaged habitat, ecosystem services disrupted and carbon released! #eochat @guyshrubsole.bsky.social @tonyjuniper.bsky.social @mikebernerslee.bsky.social @dpadartmoor.bsky.social @theguardian.com

This fire burnt 240 ha of Rishworth moor, near Ripponden, on 1/5/25. The blaze required 18 fire crews at its peak. The financial, social & environmental costs of managing uplands for elitist country sports & agriculture are unacceptable. @tonyjuniper.bsky.social @mikebernerslee.bsky.social #eochat

The extensive size of the burnt area at Cut Hill #Dartmoor also shows up on the spatially less detailed #Copernicus #Sentinel-3 data which has a pixel size on the ground of 300m. @guyshrubsole.bsky.social @tonydartmoor.bsky.social @dpadartmoor.bsky.social @simonsat.bsky.social #eochat

First reasonably clear #Copernicus #Sentinel-2 image of Sunday's devastating Cut Hill fire on #Dartmoor has been acquired today. Impossible to estimate the total area burnt. #eochat @guyshrubsole.bsky.social @tonydartmoor.bsky.social @dpadartmoor.bsky.social @theguardian.com @righttoroam.bsky.social
