Summary: A deep dive into cutting-edge remote sensing technologies with Heinz Award-winner Greg Asner, who invented an airborne observatory that his team uses to monitor ecosystems like rainforests and coral reefs. Their laser-guided lab can even see underwater to map reefs, find record-breaking individual rainforest trees that have escaped detection, and more. Plus: a bioacoustics researcher who analyzes species richness in tropical forests plays some new recordings, and we recap recent top news.
