DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore how satellite remote sensing is changin
 g our capacity to monitor biodiversity and derive an ecological understand
 ing of the natural world. Using case studies\, it will highlight the diver
 sity of approaches available to monitor species and ecosystems and illustr
 ate the challenges currently hampering broader use. The talk will conclude
  with a discussion on current and future opportunities for satellite data 
 to inform large scale biodiversity monitoring schemes\, and a perspective 
 on how satellite information may support a shift from compositional to fun
 ctional conservation\n \nBio:\nDr Nathalie Pettorelli is a senior research
  fellow at the Institute of Zoology\, Zoological Society of London. She is
  a senior editor for Journal of Applied Ecology and Philosophical Transact
 ions of the Royal Society\, and the Editor in Chief of Remote Sensing in E
 cology and Conservation\, a journal she developed and launched in 2014. Sh
 e is the Conservation Specialist Interest Group Chair for the British Ecol
 ogical Society (BES)\, as well as a member of the BES Policy Committee\; s
 he also chairs the Ecosystem Function Working Group for the Group on Earth
