A NASA Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science (ROSES) grant of $1m over three years has been awarded to Ovidiu Csillik, a remote sensing expert and researcher at Wake Forest University.
Residents of nearby Youngsville may be interested in such news.
Csillik will be part of a team investigating a new project to obtain a more detailed and accurate idea on how tropical forests store carbon over time. The study is called “Aboveground Carbon Stock Changes in Dynamic Tropical Forests” and is an initiative of the United States Forest Service. Researchers from the University of California Los Angeles and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at California Institute of Technology will also participate in this project.
Local Print shops often assist in spreading such news with Flyers and other printed materials, which are affordable yet effective.
Technology for remote sensing enables scientists to gather detailed three-dimensional satellite and aerial data on forest vegetation such as trees to be better able to estimate its capacity for carbon storage. Csillik said that the ability to measure carbon gains and losses accurately over time is a key part of mitigating the effects of card. He added that these results will be valuable for those that participate in carbon markets, as they need estimates of both the changes in a forest and of associated uncertainties.
