And finally something to compare! Here's burned area by year for both mountains. Surprising (to me) that MORE area burned on #Aberdares than #MtKenya in 2012. #MCD64A1 🔥🛰🇰🇪

Maps below show same March 2012 burn scar on 10 April 2012 #Landsat ETM+ image & w/ MODIS #BurnedArea #MCD64A1 overlay in light blue. Looks like a good match! 🛰🔥🇰🇪

Interesting findings from #MODIS #MCD64A1 #BurnedArea data for #Aberdares #Kenya. Working on active data timing now... Already seeing differences from #MtKenya. 🛰🔥🇰🇪

First map from compiled fire data for #Aberdares, #Kenya. Fires seem to be exclusively at highest elevations in the moorland vegetation. #MCD64A1 #MODIS #Landsat 🛰🔥🇰🇪

And now I'm done downloading 168 HDF files that had be downloaded one at a time (all different subfolders!) That was fun. I skipped 3 years because no active fires were detected by MODIS on #Aberdares 2001, 2002, 2007, or 2010. Wonder if #VIIRS would've seen any. #MCD64A1 🔥🇰🇪
