Today I gave a webinar for @sentinel_hub tying together some research I did on Arctic fires in 2020 with research by others published since the unprecedented wildfires of 2019 & 2020. Returning to this analysis reminded me of just how dangerous things are getting. [1/7]

#HappyNewYear everyone!.But what do we mean by a year?.It's not about one spin around the sun. It's not about stars being in the same position. It's about the relative position of the sun to the Earth's surface. Why? To regulate our seasons with our calendar. Leap years help!
