AGU Advances (2026). DOI: 10.1029/2025av002179"> False color composite of the Hughes, Palisades, and Eaton fires from Landsat 8 imagery acquired 23 February 2025. Red, green, and blue correspond to 2,200, 865, and 563 nm, respectively. Burned area appears red in this false-color composite. Fire perimeters are outlined in bright red. On the California inset map, the image bounding box is outlined in black. Inset maps provide finer-scale views of each fire. Credit: AGU Advances (2026).
