**Summary**: The continent of Australia experienced some of the most devastating wildfires in its history in late 2019 and early 2020. Remote sensing scientists in Australia, who collaborate closely with EROS, relied on satellites like Landsat to help assess and monitor the damage. In this episode, we hear from one of our Australian partners on the value of satellite imagery before, during, and after a wildfire, and we explore how cross-hemisphere partnerships improve our understanding of disasters around the globe.

**Guests**: Simon Oliver, Geoscience Australia, Steve Labahn, USGS

**Host**: Steve Young

**Producer**: Brian Hauge

**Release date**: June 15, 2020

Sasser, III, WOMBLE, CARLYLE, SANDRIDGE & RICE, P.L.L.C., Raleigh, North Carolina; Geoffrey E. Gledhill, COLEMAN, GLEDHILL & HARGROVE, Hillsborough, North Carolina, for Appellees.2 Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).3 PER CURIAM: In Gray v. Laws , 51 F.3d 426 (4th Cir. 1995), we vacated summary judgment for defendants on appellant John Gray's claim of retaliatory discharge in violation of his First Amendment rights and remanded the claim "because the district court, perhaps by oversight, failed to consider Gray's allegations of mismanagement and their possible bearing on Gray's First Amendment claim." Id . at 439. On remand, the district court received supplemental briefing on the issue and again entered summary judgment for Gray'semployer Orange County Health Department and his immediate supervisors, for two alternative reasons. First, the district court concluded that it was unclear that Gray's allegations of misconduct by the county were protected speech at all because "[i]t appears that many of his allegations pertained to the conditions of his own employment," J.A. at 547, and Gray "offers no credible evidence" ofthat mismanagement, J.A. at 548. Second, the district court concluded that, even if his allegations against his supe riors were protected speech, Gray failed to demonstrate "but for" causation between those alleg ations, which began in 1977, and his 1990 termination, immediately following, and because of two separate and corroborated complaints of sexual harassment lodged against him by women whose establishments he was charged with inspecting. J.A. at 548. We have reviewed all of the arguments raised by the parties in their briefs and at oral argument, and, for the reasons explained4 in the district court's thorough opinion, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
