Episode notes

We already know drones, gerillas, censors, fish. What else are you using to help? Ye, i mean, so we're using censors in in other ways as well. One example is a project that we had in canada and bamph national park. This project was a partnership with the city of calgary and parks canada. We built this little observatory on the glacier that collects that data and sends it back to a lodge.

THIS IS UPLIFTING, I PROMISE. And it might just make you switch careers. As a bookend to last week's Oceanology episode, Conservation Technologist Shah Selbe chats about saving the planet with some well-intentioned technology. Wind turbines, solar cars, and all the ways in which sensors, drones, recycled smartphones and real-time data reporting can help conserve species, spaces and communities that are threatened. Hear inspiring tales of travel, art, adventure and putting engineering to good use from a former rocket-science turned professional do-gooder.

Also discussed: crocodile astrology, fishing vests and hippo power displays.
