Even after wildfire devastates a community, a lingering threat remains. Soil and vegetation changes caused by wildfire damage amplify the risk of post-wildfire flooding and debris flows. It is a threat experts will be watching closely this year, as forecasts predict both a more active wildfire season this summer and El Niño conditions that could…

Forests cover nearly a third of the Earth’s land surface and present multiple challenges to military forces. Dense trees restrict mobility, limit surveillance, impede air support and degrade communication. But not all forests are the same. To best counter these difficulties, leaders need detailed information about vegetation attributes, such as canopy cover, stem diameter and…
