Researcher developing satellite-mapping tools to measure carbon capture in salt marshes

Thursday, November 6, 2014 - 08:00 in Earth & Climate

Coastal salt marshes are among the most valuable ecosystems in the world, efficient natural mechanisms for carbon sequestration that produce biomass above and below the ground as they soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. And while their gain and loss as protection from storm surge is well documented, their capacity for carbon capture is an unknown.
