Scientists measure sea ice thickness through a bore hole near Utqiagvik, Alaska. Such in situ thickness measurements provide accurate estimates for validation of remote sensing observations. Credit: Walt Meier, NSIDC Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC)
UMass Boston Professor of Remote Sensing Crystal Schaaf and her doctoral students went to Australia in August, where they tested tools that create 3-D pictures of forested sites, measuring the effects of radiation, erosion, and carbon. The Australian Broadcast Corporation (ABC) documented the project: www.abc.net.au/news/2013-08-16/laser-vision-reveals-queen...
All of the scientists are part of the Terrestrial Laser Scanning International Interest Group (TLSIIG), a global network of researchers exploring the use of portable instruments to measure and monitor vegetation.

The Global Fire Emissions Indicators, Grids: 1997-2015 contain a time-series of rasters from 1997 to 2015 for total area burned (hectares) and total carbon content (tons). The data are produced by combining 500m MODIS (Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) burn area maps with active fire data from ATSR (Along-Track Scanning Radiometer) and TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission) VIRS (Visible and Infrared Scanner). The annual total carbon content is for all fire types (Agricultural, Boreal, Tropical Deforestation, Peat, Savanna, and Temperate forests) and represents the total carbon emissions (tons) in each 0.25 degree x 0.25 degree grid cell.
