With Europe facing record heatwaves, wildfires are becoming more common.

@esa's Earth Explorers SMOS, @esa_earthcare, @esa_aeolus and Biomass were not particularly designed for wildfire management, but their data on soil dryness, smoke plumes and forest biomass help to improve our understanding of wildfires, showing how science missions deliver unexpected benefits.

O resultado do investimento em ciência e conhecimento é também melhor informação para a tomada d decisão. A @CopernicusEMS faz um trabalho importante q passa muitas vezes ao lado do cidadão comum
Quando tudo acalmar ñ deixes d explorar tudo o q disponibilizam https://t.co/1MM5JABmsN

Cansada de fazer queixas na Uber e Bolt. Motoristas às voltas 10 minutos a ver se cancelas, ou, como dois (!) só hoje, q dizem “já cheguei” e estavam a 1 km. Não quero ter carro (nem tenho € pra isso), os transportes públicos são de rir e nas plataformas é só esquemas. Que lindo
