We dive into Carla Lauter's article from GeoWeek about a company named Skerion which is using drone technolody to scan UNESCO cultural heritage sites in the Ukraine. The race to preserve 3,000+ cultural landmarks is emphasized by the ongoing conflict in the Ukraine with Russia. Scanning technology has advanced to the point where even someone with a smart phone can be part of the effort to record and preserve historical architecture.
The aim of Skerion is to ensure that if these sites are damaged or destroyed they have some kind of a record of what they used to look like for future generations.

Featuring guests Carla Lauter and Jennifer Richter
