Google Earth Application Maps Carbon's Course >>>
A Google Earth application (developed by MTRI Researcher, Dr. Tyler Erickson) reveals carbon dioxide in the lowest part of the atmosphere close to Earth's surface (green tracks) and carbon dioxide at higher altitudes that are immune from ground influences (red tracks).
Tundra's Burning >>>
Nature - MTRI remote sensing expert Dr. Nancy H. F. French is quoted, "There is an
urgent need to have a comprehensive record of
tundra fires, so we could be in a better position
