AB Fire has a diverse range of impacts on Earth's physical and social systems. Accurate and up to date information on areas affected by fire is critical to better understand drivers of fire activity, as well as itsrelevance for biogeochemical cycles, climate, air quality, and to aid firemanagement. Mapping burned areas was traditionally done from field sketches.With the launch of the first Earth observation satellites, remote sensingquickly became a more practical alternative to detect burned areas, as theyprovide timely regional and global coverage of fire occurrence. This reviewpaper explores the physical basis to detect burned area from satelliteobservations, describes the historical trends of using satellite sensors to monitorburned areas, summarizes the most recent approaches to map burned areas andevaluates the existing burned area products (both at global and regional scales).Finally, it identifies potential future opportunities to further improve burnedarea detection from Earth observation satellites.
