Active fires are located on the basis of the so-called thermal anomalies produced by them. The algorithms compare the temperature of a potential fire with the temperature of the land cover around it; if the difference in temperature is above a given threshold, the potential fire is confirmed as an active fire or "hot spot." Global Wildfire Information System (GWIS) uses the active fire detections provided by the NASA FIRMS (Fire Information for Resource Management System).

Sea Surface Temperature Trends Near Real-Time Data
The NOAA Coral Reef Watch (CRW) daily global 5km 7-day Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Trend product, updated daily, provides information on the pace and direction of the SST variation, and thus coral bleaching heat stress, if present, over the past seven days. Seven daily global 5km SST measurements, based on CRW's Version 3.1 daily global 5km 'CoralTemp' SST product, are included in the calculation used to derive the above product images. Pixels colored in green have insignificant trends; this is due either to small SST trends (within the range -0.2 to 0.2 °C) or trends that failed the two-tailed Student's-t test for the 20% significance level with five degrees of freedom.

Map layers of species richness as reported by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species
Map Layers
Amphibian Species Richness
Species will not necessarily be present in the protected area. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is complete for some groups (mammals, birds, amphibians, sharks and rays, mangroves, seagrasses, cycads, conifers, and selected marine, freshwater and invertebrate taxa), but not complete for many others (e.g., reptiles). We therefore have generated our key species indicators for the globally assessed major taxonomic groups of birds, mammals, amphibians, warm-water reef-building corals and rays & sharks only. Species ranges are mapped as generalized polygons which often include areas of unsuitable habitat, and therefore species may not occur in all of the areas where they are mapped. In general, for range-restricted taxa, ranges are mapped with a higher degree of accuracy, sometimes down to the level of individual subpopulations, compared with more widely distributed species. Threatened = species assessed in any of the three threatened Red List categories (Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable) See http://www.iucnredlist.org/ for more details.
