19 April 2023: In this episode of the Dark Matter Podcast, Stephanie Tumampos speaks about her role as a scientist and a teacher, reflecting upon how she cultivated an appreciation for science from early childhood, and how space science such as geodata gathered from satellite technology can contribute to our abilities to monitor the world, improve our understanding of climate change and predict human-impacted behaviours on a global scale. Furthermore, the podcast seeks to understand how this data collection may eventually produce a ‘Digital Earth’, and how a digital copy of our world can be used as a model of our natural world, helping us anticipate irreversible climatic incursions. But overall, with an attitude of curiosity, the podcast questions the ethics of such a scientific mindset and whether a Digital Earth represents the endgame, or just one of many possible stories on the importance of geodata.
Tumampos is a Filipino doctoral student at the Technical University of Munich, who currently serves as the Chief of Publicity and Press Relations and Social Media Ambassador for the Inspire Develop Empower Advance (IDEA) Program committee at IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (IEEE GRSS). She also hosts the IEEE GRSS Down to Earth: A Podcast for Geoscientists by Geoscientists, where she talks with experts in the field of innovative geoscience and remote sensing about their science, careers and passions. With a background in applied physics, environmental engineering and geoinformatics, she is passionate about making science accessible to everyone, regardless of their gender, race or background.
