Biodiversity
The polar regions are exquisitely sensitive to climate change, with global consequences in sea level rise, geochemical cycling and primary food-chain productivity. Under current warming trends, up to 80% of iconic polar wildlife populations are predicted to be extinct by the end of the century. We are combining machine learning approaches and unique access to biological samples to measure ecosystem health from space.
Sustainable agriculture
By 2050 we will need 60% more food to feed a world population of nearly 10 billion. Reducing agricultural greenhouse gas emissions and increasing crop yields whilst maintaining biodiversity is an imperative challenge. By combining remote sensing with molecular biology we aim to offer unprecedented solutions to this challenge. Collaborations welcome..
Biotechnology
12 billion metric tonnes of plastic waste is predicted to accumulate in the natural environment by 2050, with less than 1% currently recycled. Plastic pollution accounts for 10-13% of the sustainable carbon budget by 2050 and contributes to geochemical imbalances, biodiversity loss and food chain toxicity. Satellitesequencing.org is exploring new ways to discover plastic recycling enzymes, bioremediation motifs and upcycling constructs. Collaborations welcome..
