The Climate Papers
Planet Pod Productions are delighted to be producing The Climate Papers, a new series of podcasts for the COP26 Universities Network which brings together the best minds in the UK across a collaboration of over 50 Universities to prepare for COP26. We explore the key themes that will shape the policies and recommendations discussed at COP – from a Net Zero recovery from Covid 19 to nature based solutions and the challenges of offsetting. Listen to the podcasts here or subscribe via your podcast app.
Our sixth podcast in the series looks at the important role played by space-based Earth Observation and what it can tell us about climate change. Hosts Amanda Carpenter and Alyssa Gilbert are joined by Prof. Marian Scott and Prof. Jonathan Bamber as they explain how Earth Observation combined with in-situ and sensor data provides a powerful means to observe environmental changes over space and time in unprecedented detail, even in remote parts of the globe. We find out how Earth Observation satellites are our eyes on the planet and why, without them, we would be virtually blind to the magnitude and timing of climate change and to human interference with the fragile ecosystems we all depend on.
