Satellite fire index system aided by NASA and CDF
A remote Sunol California station feeds the Fire Index measurement using the Earth Resources Technology Satellite and NASA Ames data to map hot fire hazard zones. The system delivers hourly reads to Sacramento and Mojave Desert stations, alerting firefighting forces within an hour of satellite passes. Researchers see potential for broader forest region use and air pollution monitoring. USGS experiments in Rangely Colorado succeed in reducing quake violence by controlled water withdrawal and triggering quakes via injection, with Chevron aiding.
