Internet of Nature Podcast
Different perspectives on and interests in urban ecological technologies are represented in the weekly Internet of Nature podcast, in which Galle interviews scientists and entrepreneurs about emerging technologies involving smart green cities, urban ecology, afforestation , environmental education and health. Episodes relating specifically to forests range from the use of blockchain for registering the economic and social value of urban trees, the relationship between sensors and soil science in establishing tree health, and the use of participatory initiatives such as tweeting trees and species identification apps. What stands out from listening to the podcast are the multiple ways that the 'value' of forests and trees are framed, described, and measured, with an emphasis on data-driven approaches.
