We’re back! After a long summer break, season 3 kicks off with satellites, timber losses, and surprising wood applications. First up, we look to the skies with Muon Space’s new satellite constellation, FireSat, designed to detect wildfires as small as 5x5 metres from space. With a 20-minute revisit time across the globe, could this change how early we respond to forest fires?
Next, we explore a sobering forecast: European forests could face €247 billion in timber losses by 2100 due to climate-related disturbances. We discuss the data behind this projection, what it means for forestry systems like clearcutting versus close-to-nature management, and how digital tools can help landowners plan for a more resilient future.
And finally, a lighter story—literally. Melbourne’s iconic Albert Park, home to the Australian Grand Prix, is getting a new pit building with a waffle-style CLT timber roof. Motorsport meets mass timber in a beautiful new crossover between sustainability and speed.
