New research: New technologies for mapping surface soil moisture over wildfire-prone landscapes
USGS scientists, industry engineers, and an innovative NGO are partnering to map surface soil moisture over 13 km2 of wildfire-prone grasslands, oak lands, and closed-canopy forest in Sonoma County, California. The partnership is exploring how to improve our ability to measure water in ways that inform land and water resource management practices during wildfire season and during droughts and floods.
