DESCRIPTION:The world is a really crowded place these \ndays\; we are tryi
 ng to balance the food\, \nfuel and fibre needs of a growing human \npopul
 ation with the need to spare land for \nnatural wildlife that are facing a
 n extinction \ncrisis. In this talk\, Anil will discuss the \nongoing work
  on building comprehensive \nmaps of the world that measure important \nAn
 il Madhavapeddy\nUniversity of Cambridge Computer Laboratory\nWhen:\nThurs
 day\, 17 Oct. 6pm\nWhere:\nS2 Room\, Alison Richard \nBuilding\n7\, West R
 oad\, Cambridge\nDon’t miss out on an inspiring evening!\nFree drink and
  nibbles over an exciting conversation included!\naspects of nature by lev
 erage satellite sensing and computation \npipelines. These models can meas
 ure things like tropical forest carbon\, \nbut also be composed to build t
 he first globally comparable measure \nof biodiversity (through a species 
 persistence approach)\, and also \nhelp measure the country-level impacts 
 of human food choices to \nnatural biodiversity. He will discuss some of t
 he implications of this \nglobal monitoring approach: is this an opportuni
 ty to equalise the data \nlandscape to the global south\, or will it just 
 reinforce existing data \ninequality?
