How space missions are revealing the changing secrets of our own planet
In short: While many space missions seek distant galaxies, others are focused inward. This lecture explores how satellite data and space platforms are providing unprecedented insights into how Earth is changing.
Professor Jacqueline McGlade examines the vital role of space-based data in monitoring Earth's environmental shifts. Beyond the search for other planetary systems, these missions provide the evidence needed to understand our changing world.
Drawing on her experience leading global environmental assessments for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the European Environment Agency, McGlade discusses how observing Earth from above helps uncover environmental secrets that were previously hidden.
