The project will review how current carbon credit schemes quantify carbon storage and the monitoring requirements that are in place to measure success. This will involve investigation of sources of error in the datasets and methodology used to validate how conservation and regeneration programmes affect the amount of sequestered carbon alongside how baseline carbon stocks are determined. New approaches, using remote sensing technology combined with field measurements, will developed for measuring above and belowground carbon storage. This will be achieved through identification of a set of target variables for modelling forest peatland carbon that can be measured from space. The approaches developed will be critically evaluated for their accuracy and efficiency compared to existing.

该项目将审查目前的碳信用计划如何量化碳储存以及衡量成功的监测要求。这将涉及调查数据集的误差来源和用于验证保护和再生方案如何影响固碳量以及如何确定基线碳储量的方法。将开发利用遥感技术结合实地测量的新方法来测量地上和地下的碳储存。这将通过确定一套目标变量来实现，以便对可从空间测量的森林泥炭地碳进行建模。将严格评估所开发的方法与现有方法相比的准确性和效率。
