Life in the Greenhouse documents the effects of the rising concentration of carbon in our atmosphere. Season Two: Trees Remember shares the story of scientists studying what trees in the Southwest remember about drought. We investigate what tree memory means for the concentration of carbon in our atmosphere and for human life in the greenhouse we call Earth. In Season One, we use greenhouse gas accounting as a tool to analyze the hype coming from oil and gas companies about their clean energy developments, providing a crash course in emissions measurement and reduction along the way.

S2 E3: Tree Growth Recipes with CARDAMOM

How can scientists measure drought impacts? How do they know what’s truly an effect of drought vs. what would have happened anyway in a forest? In episode three of Season Two: Trees Remember, we meet two scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory who combine satellite data with computing to discover the math behind forest behavior. They’re figuring out how drought affects a forest's ability to grow—to store carbon—not just during a drought, but years later.
