#>---Presenter Notes---
#>
#>This singed pine cone isn’t damaged, the heat from the flames is the very thing that triggered the release of these Banksia serrata seeds. When the fire-resistant seeds land on the forest floor, they will find a nutrient-rich ashy bed and very few other seeds to compete with. Forest fires can be incredibly destructive to human life and property as well as to animals and plants that share the ecosystem. However, some forest fire is actually needed in order to allow certain trees to regenerate through succession. The ashes left from a fire provide fertile grounds for sprouting plants. Slash-and-burn agriculture has taken advantage of this fact for centuries, and is still the primary agricultural technique for much of the world, including for residents of African and South Asian countries.
#>
#>(Q?) Where are fires likely to occur? What environmental and ecological factors contribute to increased forest fires? Why are forest fires important? Is the frequency of forest fires changing worldwide? Why is it important to prevent wildfires? What do fires add to the air?

#>---(1) Fires Real Time---
#>
#>This shows the locations of daily natural and manmade fires over the last year.
#>
#>---(2) Fires - 2009---
#>
#>A year in the life of global fires shows where fires tend to occur.
#>
#>---(3) Fire Observations and Vegetation 2002-2011---
#>
#>This dataset gives a longer-term idea of the areas where fires are common as well as their responses to seasonal changes.
#>
#>---(4) Aerosols: FIM Chem Model---
#>
#>This model shows the source and movement of three types of aerosols as they move through the atmosphere. The coloration of carbon released from combustion also shows whether the sources are natural (purple-pink) or anthropogenic (pink-red).
#>
#>---(5) Nighttime Lights Colorized---
#>
#>This version of the nighttime lights dataset is colored to show light sources. Fires over a year's period are shown in red.
