This page is for the use of
teachers and students who are using the Event-Based Science
module called Fire!. It takes you to a remote-sensing
activity that will help you with the Task.
- Fire!
Activity provides
Landsat images from NASA to help you evaluate the
recovery of forests destroyed by the Yellowstone Fires of
1988.

Shenandoah National Park near Old Rag Mountain. This
true-color image of the fire was obtained on November 1,
2000 by the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
(MODIS), flying aboard NASA's Terra spacecraft.
