These changes appear in the form of radical ruptures wrought both by spectacular catastrophes like massive floods or tsunamis and by slow tragedies like the widening epidemic of asthma or the grinding processes of land dispossession.

This book project examines global forest monitoring as a means to understand the promises and problems of global visualization for climate management.
