Lava Heats Up Chaiten Caldera

Published June 6, 2008
After its initial eruption on May 2, 2008, Chile’s Chaitén Volcano remained active in the days and weeks that followed, releasing a near-constant plume and blanketing the region in ash. This false-color image uses thermal radiation to make an image of the volcano and its surroundings. The hottest area in this picture is at the lava dome in the volcano’s caldera. The purple-black plume blowing northeast from the summit is much colder.

Green-up in California Burned Areas Poses Fire Risk
4224 x 4000 45 MB - GeoTIFF
Published June 4, 2008
In late October 2007, a firestorm exploded across southern California. Fueled by dry vegetation and powerful Santa Ana winds, California’s wildfires scorched nearly 30,000 acres (120 square kilometers) in the autumn of 2007. By March of the following year, the burned areas had re-grown with lush vegetation, but by May 2008, that vegetation had dried, providing potential fuel for another firestorm.
