Data capturing hot spots and burned acres show Canada wildfire season off to wild start
While images of wildfires capture their ferocity, data can provide insight into how bad a fire season is. Such is the case with two graphics, powered by satellite data, that showcase a Canadian wildfire season off to a wild — and scary — start. Twice a day a NASA satellite sends images to the ground, giving a real-time view of where fires are burning. This is especially useful for remote areas where no sensors are stationed.

The Colorado River is running low. The picture looks even worse underground, study says
The dwindling flow of the Colorado River has alarmed the American West for years but the water losses happening underground are even worse, according to a new study that uses satellite data to measure groundwater supplies across the Colorado River basin. The research found that the region lost 27.8 million acre feet of groundwater since 2003, roughly the same volume as the total capacity of Lake Mead — the nation's largest reservoir — and that the decline accelerated rapidly over the past decade. These groundwater losses accounted for more than twice the amount taken out of reservoirs in the region during that time.
