Key Objectives

We work to develop Singapore’s first detailed map of soil carbon storage and understand how blue carbon ecosystems have changed over time, including their past carbon storage and emissions. This includes testing advanced mapping technologies to improve how we measure and monitor blue carbon.

Methods

Modeling soil carbon distribution, employing optical and LiDAR remote sensing for high-precision mapping, and analyzing archival maps as well aerial photos to model historical blue carbon dynamics.
