Скачать или смотреть Transforming Carbon Markets with Satellite Imagery and AI - Clinton Libbey

In this episode of This Week in Carbon, host Edward Smith engages with Clinton Libbey, founder of Kumi Analytics, to explore the transformative role of satellite imagery and AI in carbon markets. Clinton shares his extensive background in remote sensing, detailing his journey from working with NASA's early image processing systems to founding Kumi Analytics.
The conversation delves into the complexities of using satellite data for environmental monitoring, particularly in carbon projects, and highlights the importance of deep learning in extracting valuable insights from satellite imagery.
Clinton emphasizes the need for accurate environmental intelligence to improve the integrity and transparency of carbon credits, especially in light of past scandals in the carbon market.

Key highlights:

• Satellite imagery is the richest source of information.
• Deep learning is crucial for extracting value from complex satellite data.
• Combining different satellite types enhances data accuracy.
• Mangroves are critical for carbon sequestration but face significant threats.
• High-resolution data is essential for accurate c• Satellite imagery is the richest source of information.
