After more than two decades of successful provision of global burned area data the MODIS
mission is near to its end. Therefore, using alternative images to generate moderate …

In recent years, the growing availability of global satellite-derived burned area (BA) products
has led to the development of methods and protocols to rigorously estimate their accuracy …

Four burned area tools were implemented in Google Earth Engine (GEE), to obtain regular
processes related to burned area (BA) mapping, using medium spatial resolution sensors (…

Droughts negatively impact forests by reducing growth and increasing defoliation leading to
forest dieback as the climate becomes warmer and drier. However, the timing and severity of …

Coarse resolution sensors are not very sensitive at detecting small fire patches, making
current estimations of global burned areas (BA) very conservative. Using medium or high-…

Key message Fire activity has decreased in the last decades in Spain as a whole and in
most provinces. However, fire risk factors have increased. Wildfires are burning preferentially …

Understanding the spatial and temporal trends of burned areas (BA) on a global scale offers
a comprehensive view of the underlying mechanisms driving fire incidence and its influence …

Understanding the sources of error that affect the accuracy of current coarse burned area
products is crucial to identifying weaknesses and limitations of burned area (BA) algorithms. In …

Over the past 2 decades, several global burned area products have been produced and
released to the public. However, the accuracy assessment of such products largely depends on …

This article presents the burned area (BA) product of the Copernicus Climate Change
Service (C3S) of the European Commission. This product, named C3SBA10, is based on the …
