The Planetary Skin
What happens to Earth when a forest is razed or energy use soars?
We don't know because environmental data are collected by isolated
sources, making it impossible to see the whole picture. With the
theory that you can't manage what you can't measure, NASA and Cisco
have teamed up to develop Planetary Skin, a global "nervous
system" that will integrate land-, sea-, air- and space-based
sensors, helping the public and private sectors make decisions to
prevent and adapt to climate change. The pilot project — a
prototype is due by 2010 — will track how much carbon is held
by rain forests and where.
