I'm very pleased on behalf of co-authors to be able to share this, just published, paper summarizing the @bburnedscience.bsky.social Fire Emissions Workshop in Nov 2023. MODIS has been critical to fire emission estimation for the past two decades & the paper reviews 9 widely used emissions datasets.

The Congo basin may be the world’s most important rainforest – why is it the least researched?
It is the second-largest tropical forest on Earth, and one of the most vital carbon sinks, but is losing out when it comes to climate policy and funding

Wildfires are becoming more frequent and destructive across Europe, driven by climate change, urban expansion and land abandonment. Every year an area the size of Mallorca burns, threatening lives and forests.
