B33F:
Carbon Monitoring Systems Research and Applications II

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 31865

Session Description:
Greenhouse gas emission inventories, forest carbon sequestration programs (e.g., Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD and REDD )), cap-and-trade systems, self-reporting programs, and their associated Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) frameworks depend upon data that are accurate, systematic, practical, and transparent. For carbon, there are multiple MRV frameworks in existence, reflecting a diversity of spatial scales, governing bodies, and relevant policies. Given the scientific challenges, policy importance, and breadth of activities occurring, this session will focus on research and applications (decision support and policy) of carbon monitoring system science and its alignment with stakeholder needs.
