&lt;p&gt;NASA’s &lt;strong&gt;ECOSTRESS (ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station)&lt;/strong&gt; recorded thermal anomalies during the 2025 Portugal wildfires.&lt;br&gt;
The dataset shows &lt;strong&gt;land surface temperatures exceeding 111°C (242°F)&lt;/strong&gt; across multiple fronts in the northern region. These measurements provided key insights into &lt;strong&gt;fire intensity, spread, and local impacts&lt;/strong&gt;, supporting environmental monitoring and emergency response.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This visualization was produced in collaboration with &lt;strong&gt;Dr. Joshua Fisher (Chapman University)&lt;/strong&gt;, and has been &lt;strong&gt;published in the NASA ECOSTRESS Gallery&lt;/strong&gt; for public access.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;NASA’s &lt;strong&gt;ECOSTRESS (ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station)&lt;/strong&gt; recorded high-resolution thermal data of the &lt;strong&gt;Serabigões fire front&lt;/strong&gt; in northern Portugal.&lt;br&gt;
The thermal map captured &lt;strong&gt;land surface temperatures from 26.7°C (80°F) to 96.7°C (206°F)&lt;/strong&gt;, identifying multiple active burn zones during a critical afternoon period under extreme heat and dry conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This segment of the &lt;strong&gt;Severe Fire Complex&lt;/strong&gt; affected rural areas around Serabigões and surrounding hills, continuing through late July. The dataset supports &lt;strong&gt;fire behavior analysis, damage assessment, and emergency response coordination&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The visualization was created in collaboration with &lt;strong&gt;Dr. Joshua R. Fisher (Chapman University)&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Bill Chen (Arnold O. Beckman High School)&lt;/strong&gt; and has been &lt;strong&gt;published in the NASA ECOSTRESS Gallery&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
