Exploring and Managing Earth from the Sky: Human activities are rapidly changing the Earth’s biosphere, calling for innovative ways to measure, monitor and manage ecosystems at large geographic scales. Fortunately, the science and technology landscape is also evolving fast to meet the challenge of better managing the biosphere in the coming decades. This lecture will explain one of the world’s most advanced Earth mapping projects, and how it supports environmental conservation and decision-making around the world.
