Remote Sensing for Carbon Offsetting
Remote sensing and geospatial technologies are being harnessed for carbon offsetting efforts.
Mapping Natural Carbon Storage
Scientists have created a map of the Earth where carbon needs to be stored to keep climate goals from Cop26 possible.
Carbon Mapper: A Collaboration to Map Greenhouse Gas Emissions
A new, non-profit organization, Carbon Mapper, is attempting to create better ways to pinpoint methane and CO2 emissions.
Mapping Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Soil Respiration
Researchers recently developed a map of the global distribution of mean annual soil respiration (Rs) between 2000 and 2014.
New GIS Dataset: Forest Carbon Stocks for the Western United States
Covering 11 states, this GIS dataset contains annual estimates of carbon stocks, fluxes, and productivity for Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Â
GEDI: A New Tool for Forest Carbon Maps
Maps created by the GEDI satellite system will enable a detailed measurement of the carbon content of forests, allowing scientists to determine how forests are releasing or taking up carbon.
