Copernicus Browser gains built-in wildfire visualization on Sentinel-2 imagery

Europe’s Copernicus Browser now includes a wildfire visualization layer for Sentinel-2 data, letting users see active fires and burned areas with high-resolution 10-meter imagery. The feature, based on a JavaScript script by Pierre Markuse, went live Aug. 4 after ESA scientists helped integrate it. NASA’s FIRMS remains available for global fire mapping at coarser resolutions, but Sentinel-2 offers more detail and updates every few days, aiding wildfire monitoring during an intense season.
