• The frequency of bushfires that alter the atmospheric conditions around them has also increased.
• As we continue to experience the effects of climate change, these environmental changes and destructive fire events will only become more prevalent.
• To this end, the maps in this article show where fires occurred in two consecutive decades, and show the changes between them.

Two decades of satellite fire monitoring

• One sensor, MODIS (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer), was able to see both smoke plumes and the infrared signature of fires.
• This is significant for fire managers, who now have two decades of continuous hotspot data.

Mapping Australia’s fire hotspots

• Each year the previous 12 months’ data were compared against those from a set time range or control period.
• This was a decade-long period covering a mix of El Niño and La Niña years, indicating “average” conditions.
• In a year with a lot of fire, Australia creates more than 450,000 hotspots.
• This makes the 20 years of MODIS data an irreplaceable tool for seamless, quantitative assessments of fire dynamics across Australia.
• By comparing the number and ratio of hotspots in the grid-cell count from decade one to that from decade two, we could determine where fire frequency was changing the most.

Hotspot mapping in the future

Challenges as we move forward include developing ways to merge the MODIS data with data from the next generation of satellites, and to separate data for wildfire and prescribed burning. This and other work will allow us to better anticipate what the next decade will bring.
