Roundtable on scalable, low-cost network approaches for CH4 emission monitoring
British Summer Time (UTC +1)
地点： Cambridge, UK
This in an invite-only workshop. Please do not forward.
The climate crisis is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity today. Greenhouse gas emissions, including those of CH4, are among the biggest drivers of the problem. At the same time, monitoring emissions and identifying sources of gases like CH4 remains a complex and costly process. However, developments in lower cost instruments and the assimilation of observations into models has raised the prospect of developing powerful, economically accessible, and scalable tools for monitoring GHG emissions.
This roundtable aims to bring together a diverse group of experts to explore these innovative strategies for measuring CH4 emissions at scale. Through fostering a collaborative dialogue, we hope to identify collective strategies and, importantly, actions that could form the basis of future solutions towards low-cost methane monitoring.
Please register by May 20 to secure your attendance.
