#AGU13 - What is the impact of Earths seven plus billion people on biodiversity? Its a complex puzzle, as biodiversity continuously shapes the planets land and oceans. Allison Leidner of NASA Headquarters demonstrated how space based observations reveal Earth as a system, presenting at NASAs Hyperwall this week at the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in San Francisco. In addition to coordinating activities in NASAs biodiversity program, Leidner helps coordinate NASAs involvement in the National Climate Assessment. Im here at AGU for both of those reasons, because AGU is a really important conference for understanding the latest advances in climate change science, and also understanding the impacts and how we assess those changes to help inform our decisions, Leidner said. The annual fall meeting of the AGU is a chance for more than 22,000 scientists, educators, and students to present their research, broaden their knowledge base and embrace the excitement of science. In these 15-second videos, scientists talk about the NASA science projects they are presented at the conference that you may not have seen. #nasa #biodiversity #earth #agu #video #science #weather #climate #hyperwall #oceans
