Great overview from @Planet of how the @forestobs contributes to better wildfire resilience in CA. Salo takes it even further by simulating 100s of millions of fires to create the highest res & most up-to-date maps of fire hazard ever created. 📖 bit.ly/2ZRvMIg #Cop26

Forests play a crucial role in removing atmospheric CO2. To reach the 1.5°C target of @cop26, we need better mapping, monitoring, & mgmt. of forests on a global scale. We’re building tech to meet the need—1st in CA w/ @forestobvs & bigger expansions to come. #TogetherForOurPlanet

The Moonlight Fire area has had a lot of salvage, and there is not much canopy cover across these areas, so if we got some clear air, we could potentially make a lot of hay with air tankers in this area. Canopy cover data from @forestobs forestobservatory.com #DixieFire

Hey everyone, we're way overdue for several @forestobs updates (including Earth Engine integration). Until then, here's a map of canopy cover change, 2016-2020. Warm colors->loss, cool colors->gain . The big blob is the Carr fire. Check out the harvest and regrowth patterns

To my fellow forest nerds: First we built a forest monitoring system in the cloud. Now we're sharing our guide to working with Forest Observatory data using cloud-based geospatial software. Check it out!🌲🧡🌤️ salo.ai/blog/2021/02/c…

"...development of a consolidated Federal geographic mapping service that can facilitate public access to climate-related information that will assist Federal, State, local, and Tribal governments in climate planning and resilience activities." Sounds familiar.

Whisky Hill, the site of @SaloSciences latest field trip, is in the dramatic burn scar of the 2013 American Fire. The team spent two days in the surrounding area doing field validation on CFO data, filming for @BW and of course, drinking whisky (Old Forester) #forestfriday

@TRF_Stories @JadDaley "Hartman applauds the new @AmericanForests tool, but says he looks forward to when it can be even more granular." @phxenvironment How about tree-level granularity? See our maps of tree cover & height for #California; more states coming 2021 @clbtea twitter.com/forestobs/stat…
