Scientists develop satellite tech to measure eucalypt flammability
Original: Scientists develop tech to measure eucalypt flammability from space
Australian scientists have developed technology that can measure how flammable eucalypt vegetation is from space, according to ABC News. The research could give authorities a new tool for assessing bushfire risk across vast and remote forested areas, allowing more targeted preparation ahead of dangerous fire seasons in Australia.
Why now: Bushfire risk is a major ongoing concern in Australia, and satellite-based flammability mapping is a significant advance for fire prediction and prevention.
