TENTANG EPISODE INI
Deforestation causes about 20% of carbon emissions - and it's completely unnecessary.
Dr Murray Collins and journalist Kim McAllister talk to leading scientist Dr Ed Mitchard about his work mapping forests across the world using satellite data. Ed's work is helping governments measure their efforts to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement and he has just won the contract to help train 50 new PhD students in this area.
Also in this episode, hear from mangrove specialist Ebuka Nwobi who first came to Edinburgh as a student on a government scholarship from Nigeria. He's been practising his ceilidh dancing as well as working on a project to predict coffee yield in Brazil using satellite data.
