contents We derive localized and global noncompact versions of Hamilton's gradient estimate for positive solutions to the heat equation on Riemannian manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below. Our estimates are essentially optimal and significantly improve on all previous estimates of this type. As applications, we derive a new and sharp, space only, local pseudo-Harnack inequality, as well as estimates of the spatial modulus of continuity of solutions.
