Measuring Redwood Giants: Science on the SPOT
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- Forest ecologist Steve Sillett is leading a team of scientists as they climb and measure every branch of some of the last and tallest old growth redwoods in California. Their goal is to learn how these ancient giants have historically responded to climatic shifts and to monitor how they are being impacted today by global warming.
Thousands of years old an 95% were ripped down in just a couple of decades. Great job.
trees dont grow from the inside out. They grow from the out out.
THIS NEEDS TO BE A MEME AND A REMIX
I mean thats only common sense thats why trees get hollow with age
PARCC BROUGHT ME HERE
PARCC brought me here
Me too
Lmfao same
The MasterMind same
yesss me too i just got this video yesterday for my test
Yep
I always wanted to walk in one of these forests
This was on the PARCC!
I just finished reading "The Wild Trees" and could not help to look up
Dr. Steve Sillett and his work. With all my respect and admiration . . .
i’m reading The Wild Trees now and oh my word. such a good book and such a fascinating life he leads!!
I just finished The Wild Trees. I love all his books but that book got under my skin
1:53 they look beautiful when they grow in a forest, the canopy perfect little pyramid tops
Amazing video and research, but the audio is silent from 5 seconds to 55 seconds.
This guy has such a cool job.
Who’s here from PARCC?
PARCC GANG BRO
Plant a sequoia seedling, then generate a time loop around it, calibrated for 500 yrs. Presto, big sequoia !
What is the name of this tree they climb
Giant Redwoods are awesome.One question,do beavers gnaw on the giant Redwoods?Does anyone know?
hmmm beavers only take on smaller trees maybe trees of a diameter of two feet or less.
I live in the redwoods and we have local legends that report that the
biggest of the biggest redwood trees were dropped long ago. There
is a local story of a logger who after working in the woods all day
returned to town & popped into a saloon for a drink before heading
home to supper who reported that on that day him & his crew
dropped a big redwood & once on the ground it was measured to a bit
over 400ft. And another where the logger reported his big tree
measured 420ft. These are first person accounts so they are thought
to be true around here.
!
good mushrooms there ;-)
why did they silence my boy at the beginning
Is anyone aware of the name or style of climbing used for this? I'm interested in learning it and using it for another industry. Thanks

I’m currently writing a essay Bc of this video....I hate essays
Big trees are cool, though.
did you know that they have found Coast Redwoods that are larger in mass than Giant Sequoias. Larger than the supposed Largest Tree General Sherman

i found this video becuse of PARCC
💜💜💜💜💜💜 Awesome
Now DJI makes a LIDAR drone for $10,000ish that could do a perfect job at this in 15 minutes
Your job rocks bro
