The era of approximating carbon is over. Just like the microscope transformed biology and GPS revolutionized navigation, the eddy covariance flux technique has redefined how we measure carbon. This groundbreaking method delivers direct, real-time carbon measurements you can trust to make informed decisions with confidence.
To help you navigate these measurements, verify carbon sequestration efforts, and align with critical frameworks like MMRV, dMRV, and aMRV, we’ve created three in-depth guides that cover a variety of areas and land uses. So whether you’re conducting research or working in industrial consultant applications, these guides will prepare you for every terrain and goal.
Download your guides now and take the first step toward real-time, trusted carbon measurements.
No research goal is the same, and neither is the research environment. Every site comes with its own unique challenges—which is why these guides break down how to achieve direct, real-time carbon flux measurements in simple, straightforward steps.
Use this guide as a base for your own solution-specific carbon and GHG methodologies and protocols. You’ll learn about:
PRE-PLANNING AND
COST OPTIMIZATION
SITE, HARDWARE, AND
SOFTWARE SELECTION
FLUX STATION AND
INSTRUMENT SETUP
DATA COLLECTION
AND PROCESSING
REPORTING AND
DOCUMENTATION
INDEPENDENT REVIEW,
VERIFICATION, AND AUDITING
These guides are made especially for anyone following the Measuring, Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MMRV) framework or any other similar guidelines (e.g., MRV, dMRV, aMRV, NbS, NSC). Adhering to these processes is important because it holds every environmental professional to a standard for credible, direct measurement methods and reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and total sequestration across all carbon pools.
With these three guides, you’ll gain the insights needed to align with these frameworks while still verifying your carbon sequestration efforts and GHG emission rates.
