Scorch

A public map of conflict damage, oil fires, and emissions.

Scorch puts specialist reports next to satellite heat detections so the two can be compared. Orange marks are unconfirmed heat, not confirmed strikes. Locations taken from article text are approximate.

    How To Read It

    What this app is good at

    Best for

    Triangulating fires, strike patterns, civilian harm, and environmental risk across public maps, official datasets, and specialist monitors.

    Not Strong For

    Street-level certainty, undisclosed military strikes, and any analysis that depends on classified or paywalled imagery.

    Suggested flow

    Start with the heat layer for fresh satellite detections, then read CEOBS or ACLED for context, then use UNOSAT or Airwars when you need a slower damage assessment.
