  • 🎶Despite our out of tune singing (sorry in advance 🤣), Jack was adamant he wanted to share some less good news with you in an original way. We certainly had fun making the video! Hope it makes you smile 😊

    9 year old Jack is back once a month with his inquisitive mind asking questions of adults about all things future.

    Listen on all major platforms for previous episodes and keep your 👀 and 👂out for details of his next episode, out at the end of November!

    A podcast for adults and children alike, check it out! 


    P.S. It is actually him playing the keyboard in the song, but mum’s editing/synching skills aren’t up to it! Can’t get the staff… 😉

  • Jack spoke back in  Season 1, episode 8 about the future of forests and this episode offers part two, but with a twist. The future of forests by measuring the world's forest biomass.
    Jack talks to Vicki Lonnon, the quality assurance manager from Airbus who is working on a new European Space Agency (ESA) satellite mission, that will monitor forests from space using a special P-band radar that's never been used before.  The data collected will look at how much carbon is being stored by forests across the world and how this is changing over time, allowing a 3D map of the world's forests to be created. The satellite is due to be launched next year. 
    The pair  discuss:
    - what forest biomass is
    -the role forests play in climate change
    - the satellite mission and what's involved
    -why the mission is needed
    -what impact the mission could have
    -views of reaching net zero

    Tune in to learn something new- a fascinating episode about technology that certainly will shape our future 🌍🌲

    ESA: Ready to build the Biomass forest mission
    The satellite will provide global maps of how much carbon is stored in the world’s forests and how this stock is changing over time, mainly through the absorption of carbon dioxide, which is released from burning fossil fuels.
    Airbus Defence and Space to build Biomass – the European Space Agency’s forest mission
    Airbus Defence and Space, the world’s second largest space company has signed a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) to build its next Earth Explorer mission, the Biomass satellite.
