B42A:
Carbon Monitoring Systems Research and Applications III


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 59690

Session Description:
Greenhouse gas emission inventories, climate mitigation planning, forest carbon sequestration and Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) programs, 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 around the world, this session will focus on advances in research and applications, including decision support and policy, that align or address stakeholder needs through the measuring, modeling, and monitoring of strategic carbon pools.
