  abstract = {{F}ire has a diverse range of impacts on {E}arth's physical and social systems. {A}ccurate and up to date information on areas affected by fire is critical to better understand drivers of fire activity, as well as its relevance for biogeochemical cycles, climate, air quality, and to aid fire management. {M}apping burned areas was traditionally done from field sketches. {W}ith the launch of the first {E}arth observation satellites, remote sensing quickly became a more practical alternative to detect burned areas, as they provide timely regional and global coverage of fire occurrence. {T}his review paper explores the physical basis to detect burned area from satellite observations, describes the historical trends of using satellite sensors to monitor burned areas, summarizes the most recent approaches to map burned areas and evaluates the existing burned area products (both at global and regional scales). {F}inally, it identifies potential future opportunities to further improve burned area detection from {E}arth observation satellites.},
