About This Course
Advanced Remote Sensing of Carbon Fluxes teaches how to measure one of the most important quantities in climate science: where carbon is emitted and absorbed. You learn the remote-sensing methods and data — satellite observations, flux towers and models — used to quantify carbon exchange across ecosystems, and how to interpret them for carbon accounting and climate monitoring. The course connects advanced remote sensing to the global carbon cycle. You finish able to reason about remote-sensing measurement of carbon fluxes. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
