I think they use this (or similar) technology to look for marijuana plots in the region.

Remote sensing is also used in the mining industry to find mineralization.

Too bad the conquistadors burned the mayan codexes.
We could have read about their downfall, instead of reading envirobabble suppositions on the reason for the fall of the maya. How about epidemics, or frog licking. Both just as possible. ( maybe professor peabody can use his wayback machine).

Scientists believe the Maya fell prey to a number of cataclysmic environmental problems, including deforestation and drought, which led to their downfall

The deforestation and drought issues seem to have been fixed.

Interesting stuff.

Reminds me.

Since I "don't have any expectration of privacy" from anyone/anything above 500' over me, do you know where I can find a 300 acre tent, that will still pass enough light to not kill the trees & pasture under it, but strong enough to withstand a blizzard?
