Interview with Swedish Television about mapping forests in Sweden
On August 15th, I was interviewed by Swedish Television (SVT) about my work on mapping tree species in Sweden. The interview took place at one of my field sites in Skåne while we (the field staff and I) conducted measurements at a survey location. We were with the journalist for about a hour and I spoke about a range of topics related to the project and why we were conducting fieldwork.
How we “observe” biodiversity from space
Biodiversity is a complex term but it essentially encompasses life in all its variety, ranging from individual genes to entire ecosystems. The legendary biologist Edward O. Wilson defines biodiversity as “the totality of all inherited variation in the life forms of Earth”. The loss of biodiversity due to human activities and its negative effect on ecosystems are well documented.
Profile in a Swedish popular science magazine
Back in January, I had the opportunity to be interviewed by the Swedish popular science magazine Populär Astronomi about my research in Earth observation.
