Monitoring and verifying carbon stocks in forests and soils is crucial for meeting climate targets and implementing effective land management strategies. However, traditional field-based methods are time-consuming, expensive, and limited in scale, making it challenging to assess carbon changes across large areas.
Earth Observation (EO) solutions provide a scalable, cost-effective way to monitor carbon stocks across vast areas. By integrating satellite data, in-situ measurements, and advanced modelling, EO tools enable large-scale carbon monitoring with reasonable accuracy, offering actionable insights for environmental and climate decision-makers.
Earth Observation data can be derived with regards to a large number of different parameters, both at global or continental scale, but also local (10-20m resolution) as shown in the feature image (Source: ESA).
