Thought folks who are familiar with balloon mapping<http://publiclab.org/wiki/balloon-mapping> in crisis areas <http://publiclab.org/wiki/gulf-coast> might enjoy seeing this most recent open hardware project out of the Public Lab community, leveraging remote sensing technology in a local, community-based context:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/publiclab/infragram-the-infrared-photography-project "A simple, cheap infrared camera which can measure plant health -- for geek gardeners, farmers, and open source DIY scientists." It basically images photosynthesis with some filter trickiness and post processing, building on satellite-based earth-observation imaging techniques. Jeff
