Iceland Glacier Recession 19
…
| Title |
Iceland Glacier Recession 1997 to 2000 |
| Abstract |
This animation is a close up zoom into largest area of glacier recesion at the Breidamerkurjokull glacier in Iceland. The data from 1997 is taken from Landsat 5 and the 2000 data is from Landsat 7. The Breidamerkurjokull glacier in Iceland has been measured by Landsat to be receding since 1973. In 1997, Landsat 5 took several other images of the glacier. It was thought by some glacierologists that this particular glacier was receding quicker in the late 1990s than it did in the late 1980s or 1970s. After careful analysis Goddard's Glacierologist, Dorothy Hall, concluded that the recession from 1997 to 2000 occurs at a similar rate to the recession between 1973 and 2000. It is extremely controversial whether or not this recession is caused by global warming. |

Hurricane Isabel
| Title |
Hurricane Isabel |
| Description |
The Atlantic?s powerful waters gouged a new inlet across Hatteras Island in North Carolina?s Outer Banks on September 18, 2003 when Hurricane Isabel came ashore. The top image, taken by the Landsat 5 satellite on September 26, 2003, shows how the storm split Hatteras Island into two. The bottom image, taken on October 25, 1999, shows the southern tip of Hatteras Island before Isabel wrought her damage. The inlet cut across Highway 12 near a section of Cape Hatteras National Seashore Park, to the right of the break in the top image. The park houses the famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Cape Hatteras Village to the south of the break on the green pointed section of land (left) is now isolated from the rest of the island. The high-resolution image provided above shows a broader view of Hatteras Island on September 26, 2003.

Esperanza Fire
| Title |
Esperanza Fire |
| Description |
In late October, a fierce forest fire flared up in the mountainous terrain west of Palm Springs, California. The Esperanza Fire started in the foothills at the southern outskirts of the town of Cabazon, apparently as an act of arson. Driven by Santa Ana winds out of Great Basin deserts to the east, the fire raced over more than 40,000 acres in a matter of days, destroying 34 homes and 20 outbuildings in the area. Several firefighters died while battling the blaze.This high-resolution satellite image of the fire was captured on October 26, 2006, by the Thematic Mapper sensor on NASA's Landsat 5 satellite. The image was captured at 11:16 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time, roughly 10 hours after fire officials believe the fire began. At the top of the scene, the towns of Banning and Cabazon line Interstate 10, which appears as a thick, gray ribbon running through the dry, brown valley of San Gorgino Pass. Regular geometric shapes—straight lines and rectangles—are roads and buildings. Meandering, pale tracings show the paths of dry creeks and rivers. To the south, the foothill ranges of the San Jacinto Mountains begin. Fire was burning along ridgelines near McMullen and Hurley Flats. Gray-brown smoke stretches southwest in long plumes. A towering column of smoke west-southwest of McMullen flat casts a dramatic black shadow to the northwest. At the time of this image, the fire had already burned almost the entire landscape between Hurley Flat and the valley floor to the north, as well as nearly all the terrain bounded by the smoke plumes. Although the difference is subtle, burned areas appear charcoal-tinged when compared to unburned vegetation, such as the forested slopes of the Black Mountain Scenic Area at lower right. Unburned vegetation appears brownish-green. NASA image created by Jesse Allen, Earth Observatory, using data provided courtesy of Laura Rocchio, Landsat Project Science Office.

Sweat Farm Road Fire, Georgi
…
| Title |
Sweat Farm Road Fire, Georgia |
| Description |
Dense plumes of blue-white smoke billowed from the Sweat Farm Road Fire in southern Georgia on April 19, 2007, when the Landsat 5 satellite captured this detailed image. The fire started on April 16, when a tree fell on a power line and, fanned by strong winds, quickly exploded into a major fire. By April 19, the fire had forced officials to close several roads, including U.S. Highway 1, and to evacuate hundreds of people from the perimeter of the city of Waycross, the silver cluster along the top edge of the image. The nearness of the fire is evident in the dark brown, charred land just south of the city. The active fire front is along the south edge of the burned area, where the flames are eating into the dark green hardwood forests, pine plantations, and shrubs in Okefenokee Swamp. Because of the difficult terrain, the fire and the adjoining Big Turnaround Complex fire are expected to burn until significant rain falls, said the morning report issued by the Southern Area Coordination Center [ http://gacc.nifc.gov/sacc/predictive/intelligence/intelligence.htm ] on May 4."In the long term, the burning of the swamp will ultimately benefit the swamp wilderness habitat, which is a fire-dependent ecosystem [ http://www.nifc.gov/preved/comm_guide/wildfire/fire_6.html ]," said a press release [ http://www.fws.gov/okefenokee/BigTurnaroundFire.htm ] issued from the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge on May 4. Such ecosystems require fire to remain healthy. In the case of southern pine forests, many pine species need fire to remove litter from the ground and release soil nutrients so that new seedlings can grow.
