Using satellite and lower platform remote sensing, archeologists can study the rise and fall of ancient societies. Dr. Thomas Sever will share how the Maya Collapse, one of the greatest demographic disasters in history, is studied and better understood. From space, ancient Mayan roadways, canals and settlements are revealed in tropical forest vegetation despite their abandonment hundreds of years ago. Through this research we are achieving a better understanding of the natural and human-induced effects of climate variability.
