Watch the second episode (2/3) of our (3-part) interview, between our host Rene with Akash,, a leading Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore.

On this episode, Akash introduces us to the world of carbon measurement. He shows us how scientists measure carbon in trees and rainforests. He also talks about cool tools like space lasers that help track carbon from above!

Akash shares how places like peat swamps in Southeast Asia play a big role in storing carbon for us to better understand why these areas are so special and need to be protected.
