Soil-carbon in mineral soils and agroforestry

Generate CRCF‑compatible soil‑carbon inventories for agroforestry by fusing high‑resolution satellite observations with on‑the‑ground carbon measurements.

  • Accurate, spatially explicit SOC and AGC maps for three diverse pilot sites (Madagascar, Ecuador, Italy)
  • Robust uncertainty quantification through Monte‑Carlo propagation, ensuring certification‑ready results

Planting of trees on degraded land + Biomass estimation in Tropical Forest

Identify CRCF‑eligible degraded lands and turn them into verified carbon‑removal assets with our geospatial selection and scenario‑modeling tool.

  • GIS‑ready maps rank every pixel by suitability for tree planting versus other uses.
  • An interactive calculator lets you model species mix, density and management to forecast carbon uptake with built‑in uncertainty quantification.

Rewetting of Peatland

Deploy the EO‑driven MRV system to generate CRCF‑verified carbon‑removal data from peatland rewetting projects.

  • Integrates Sentinel‑1 SAR, Sentinel‑2 optical, high‑resolution peat maps and in‑situ hydrology into a unified, uncertainty‑aware workflow powered by the DALEC ecosystem model.
  • Provides transparent baseline maps, annual removal estimates, uncertainty bands and verification reports through an audit‑ready web portal.
