Dr Andrew Edwards and PhD candidate Greg Barber would like to invite you to a special seminar on Greg’s recent research.
Greg has recently produced this body of research, which he will soon publish, and is looking to present it, to engender discussion with colleagues.
In this seminar CDU PhD student Greg Barber presents an analysis of tree cover in Australian tropical savannas, focussing on areas registered under the Carbon Farming Initiative. These projects already earn carbon credits for fire emissions reduction, but if it can also be demonstrated that additional carbon is being sequestered in living biomass as a result of land managers' action, then the economics of carbon farming will improve further. To do this, a new statistical approach is applied to the large data sets available from remote sensing.
