My name is Lola Fatoyinbo Agueh and I
use satellite imagery and satellite data

00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:19.840
to monitor forests on our planet. A lot
of the work we do is observing our

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:25.199
planet and kind of looking into the past
and trying to predict the future using

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:30.320
satellite data, and so
one impact would be if you live in a

00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:34.640
coastal area for example. How has that
changed over time and how might it

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.559
change in the future? And we really care
about the change because this is where

00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:42.719
we live it's our planet we want to make
sure that our planet is able to sustain

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:48.320
us for many, many generations. I love
traveling. I love going to new places and

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.480
discovering new things. I do a lot of
work in mangroves, which is a really

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:57.760
difficult place to work - lots of mud, you
have to climb over trees, there might be

00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:02.399
crocodiles or other scary animals there.
I like going in the field, but it's also

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:07.520
sometimes a little bit intimidating.
It's really exciting to be at NASA. I

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:12.400
think it's a combination of excitement
of discovery and then also

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:16.400
there is a feeling of purpose like I
feel like I'm actually helping

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:23.400
and hopefully finding a way of
making our planet a better place.
