María de los Ángeles Fischer is a researcher at the 'Clima y Agua' Institute of the National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA) in Argentina. She specializes in analyzing fire hotspots using satellite imagery to monitor and understand the dynamics of wildfires across the country. With over two decades of experience, Fischer has been instrumental in assessing the evolution of fire occurrences, particularly in regions like Patagonia, which have been increasingly affected by severe wildfires. Recently, she has been in the news for her insights into the current wildfire crisis in Chubut, where conditions have led to one of the worst fire seasons in recent years.
