  • Summary

  • In 2021, the United Nations said that the accelerating pace of global warming represents "code red for humanity" due to effects such as wildfires, sea rise and climate refugees. Space is one of the frontiers by which we can monitor climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, and come up with localized efforts to fight it. This series will interview some of the individuals, companies and governments that are leading the effort.


    From imagery to address natural disasters, to policy to get to the root of the problem, SpaceQ's "Earth and Space" will bring you timely updates from thinkers and decision-makers who are looking to, as best as they can, manage and provide needed solutions.

    Global warming is expected to have a disproportionate effect on Canada's mid-latitude and north, including on the range of its tree species and agriculture. Western University has a team of researchers running scenarios with real-life trees to see how they react under heat stress. In this podcast we'll learn a little bit more the effect climate change will have on trees and agriculture. Our guest is Danielle Way, an associate professor who focuses on global change biology, plant physiology and ecology.

    Astronomers for Planet Earth
    Dec 28 2021

    The fight for climate change touches us all, which is why the organization Astronomers for Planet Earth aims to bring together astronomy students, educators, and scientists around the globe to bring their astronomical and climate change perspectives to the public. An open letter they issued about climate change has garnered thousands of signatures and they held a briefing about that letter this summer at the United Kingdom's National Astronomy Meeting.


    To tell us more, we welcome Hannah Dalgleish to the podcast. Dr. Dalgleish is involved with Astronomers for Planet Earth. She is also a part of the Royal Astronomical Society's sustainability group. And she is a postdoctoral researcher in astronomy for development, working between the University of Oxford and the University of Namibia.
