At the University of Notre Dame Environmental Research Center in Indiana, Professor Nathan Swenson and his students are cross-referencing phenotypic signals from space with genetic sequencing data from trees. By correlating extremely high-resolution images taken from space with the microscopic gene expression patterns of individual leaves, they are creating a map of the forest’s health to a degree never before attempted.
