Global Monitoring of Soil Carbon from Space - soils store vast amounts of carbon globally and have a major role to play in climate change mitigation, adaptation and food security. Sustainable management of soil carbon requires an understanding of soil carbon stocks under relevant land uses. Traditional methods for measuring soil carbon are impractical, expensive, and therefore not relevant to schemes where large-scale carbon sequestration is the primary objective. This project will develop a methodology combining big data processing, machine learning, ecosystem modelling and remote sensing to provide a wide-scale and cost-effective way to monitor soil carbon changes over time. The data will be available online via an easy to use web based interface and the end users will be able to draw in the boundaries of their areas of interest and extract this data without any specialist expertise. The end-users of the package will be organisations looking to quantify, monitor or evaluate changes in soil carbon for; sequestration, off-setting, agriculture, or for environmental purposes.

从太空监测全球土壤碳-土壤在全球储存了大量的碳，在减缓、适应气候变化和粮食安全方面发挥着重要作用。土壤碳的可持续管理需要了解相关土地利用下的土壤碳储量。测量土壤碳的传统方法是不切实际的，昂贵的，因此不相关的计划，大规模的碳封存是主要目标。该项目将开发一种结合大数据处理、机器学习、生态系统建模和遥感的方法，为监测土壤碳随时间的变化提供一种广泛且具有成本效益的方法。这些数据将通过一个易于使用的基于网络的界面在线提供，最终用户将能够在没有任何专业知识的情况下绘制他们感兴趣的领域的边界并提取这些数据。该软件包的最终用户将是希望量化、监测或评估土壤碳变化的组织，用于固碳、抵消、农业或环境目的。
