February 22 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
Join us for a webinar on Estimating Greenhouse Gas flux benefits of forest conservation and restoration.
While there are broadly recognized GHG and climate mitigation benefits of forest conservation and restoration efforts, accurate quantification remains a challenge, often requiring many samples and high-quality repeated measurements.
An alternative approach that can be easily implemented at a local scale uses estimates of carbon stocks and dynamics based on remote sensing imagery in conjunction with carbon process models. A globally comprehensive version of such estimates with high spatial resolution is freely available from the eNGO Global Forest Watch. Dr. Thomas will introduce and demonstrate this approach, and summarize alternative methods and emerging issues.
Dr. Sean Thomas is an internationally recognized expert in tree ecophysiology and forest carbon processes, and in recent years has pioneered the use of biochar in forest restoration applications.
This training is free for OLTA members and associates and $45 for others.
