To support the effectiveness of policies aimed at conserving and restoring coastal blue carbon (CB) ecosystems in the face of imminent climate change threats, there is an urgent need for greater knowledge and tools capable of accurately estimating and monitoring changes in CB carbon stocks across large areas and over time.
By combining satellite images, remote sensors, and field data, the project will provide effective tools to help managers and policymakers monitor and assess coastal carbon ecosystems and integrate blue carbon into national climate inventories and policies.
The GAME group is collaborating on this European Space Agency (ESA) project by contributing published and unpublished datasets on biomass, soil blue carbon stocks, and accumulation rates in seagrass meadows and tidal marshes in Spain and France.
