     The reduction in green vegetation cover caused by the wildfire leads to exposure of brighter underlying bare soil. In order to quantify this increase in surface brightness, the monthly mean value of MODIS-derived albedo for the area affected by the Camp Fire was examined. 
 
-    The monthly mean albedo increased from 0.123 to 0.125 following the fire, or an increase of 0.02. Note that albedo values of 0 and 1 indicate none or all of the incoming sunlight is being reflected back to the atmosphere, respectively. Thus, the alteration of the surface by the wildfire resulted in a nearly 2% reduction of energy deposited by sunlight onto the land surface. Even though the amount of energy deposited by the sunlight is reduced after the fire, the reduction in green vegetation cover affects how the deposited energy is utilized.

-  <mark>🚧 This Discovery presents work in progress and not peer-reviewed results! 🚧</mark>
 
   Climate change poses unique risks to coastal areas around the world. Many factors contribute to coastal risk including (1) changes in the water cycle, (2) changes to the landscape, including the gain or loss of coastal land and vertical land motion, and (3) changes to sea level. This Discovery presents these components and shows how NASA data and models can be used to measure and study these processes. The purpose of this Discovery is to serve as a starting point for further exploration for researchers.

   ## Introduction
-  <mark>🚧 This Discovery presents work in progress and not peer-reviewed results! 🚧</mark>
 
   Fires are an integral part of the Earth system and have a large human dimension. Society's interaction with the Earth system affects fire risk, fire spread, and fire impacts (e.g. property destruction, emissions, mud slides). NASA data products and models provide real-time information on active fires, smoke, air quality, and forecasts of changing fire weather and seasonal fire risk.
 
   EIS provides a platform for collaborative analysis of and decision support for pre-fire risk, active fire situational awareness, and managing post-fire impacts. The full potential of these individual efforts are realized through the EIS collaborative framework to support new transdisciplinary connections and fire-related management activities.
