Improving the Accuracy of Remote Sensing for Tree Biomass
Accurate measurement of forest biomass is essential for credible emission reduction and removal claims.
Traditional measurement methods using field plots and statistical estimators, while effective, are costly.
Gold Standard and Spatial Informatics Group (SIG) have developed a new protocol, the ‘Tree Remote Environmental Evaluation - Assessing Carbon Capture Using Remote Accuracy Techniques and Estimates’ (TREE-ACCURATE), intended to reduce costs without compromising accuracy.
The protocol was designed to assess the accuracy and uncertainty of tree biomass estimates based on remote sensing and will soon be piloted to understand how accurate remote sensing estimates of tree biomass can be, with the potential application to Gold Standard products.
During the webinar SIG will present the TREE-ACCURATE protocol and explain the details of the 2-year pilot phase (due to begin in 2025) by which Gold Standard intends to understand the nuances of the application of the protocol in real-world conditions.
