Join NASA's ARSET Training: Earth Observations of Blue Carbon Ecosystems
Are you involved in coastal ecosystem management or interested in the role of remote sensing in climate mitigation? Here’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss: NASA's Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) is hosting a virtual training on Earth Observations of Blue Carbon Ecosystems, available in both English and French.
Blue carbon ecosystems, including mangroves, salt marshes, and sea grasses, are crucial for high carbon sequestration rates and long-term carbon burial. This training is designed to equip you with the skills to map, monitor, and restore these vital ecosystems using earth observations.
What to expect
The training will provide attendees with the skills to:
- Identify blue carbon ecosystems and the role they play in the global carbon budget
- Map the extent of blue carbon ecosystems using satellite observations
- Measure the carbon stock of mapped blue carbon ecosystems
- Identify contexts in which earth observation data of carbon stocks in blue carbon ecosystems can inform reporting, monitoring, accounting and advocacy
Who Should Attend
This training is ideal for:
- Local, regional, state, and federal agencies
- Foreign ministries
- Non-governmental organizations involved in coastal ecosystem management
- Remote sensing practitioners
- Academics and students interested in remote sensing and climate science
The training will be conducted over two 90-minute sessions on:
- December 3, 2024
- French session: 10:00-11:30 AM ET
- English session: 2:00-3:30 PM ET
- December 5, 2024
- French session: 10:00-11:30 AM ET
- English session: 2:00-3:30 PM ET
