The fastest-growing and most destructive fires in the US (2001 to 2020)
The most destructive and deadly wildfires in US history were also fast. Using satellite data, we analyzed the daily growth rates of more than 60,000 fires from 2001 to 2020...- publication PDF

Equatorial plasma bubbles developing around sunrise observed by an all-sky...
A large number of studies have shown that equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) occur mainly after sunset, and they usually drift eastward. However, in this paper, an unusual EPB...- publication PDF
