BG8.9 | Flux Measurements for Immediate Societal Benefits.
Flux Measurements for Immediate Societal Benefits.
Convener: George Burba | Co-conveners: Bhaskar MitraECSECS, Stefan Metzger
Direct flux measurements of heat, water, greenhouse gasses (GHGs) and pollutants between the earth’s surface and its atmosphere unlock fair and equitable climate solutions across natural and built environments. Innovations and markets based on such an approach help resolve global climate and air quality challenges and fairly reward small and big stakeholders.

This session, organized collaboratively by research and industry, welcomes ideas and examples of how to utilize direct flux measurements for tangible societal benefits, such as carbon removal, agriculture and forestry, reduction of anthropogenic emissions, environmental impact management, and more. For instance, these measurements can be applied to irrigation scheduling, soil and plant treatments, GHG reduction and sequestration, global warming potential, urban heat management, satellite and model products, industry emissions, severe weather impacts, air quality management, and can be used as a diagnostic tool for meeting net-zero targets by different organizations, regulatory, and government agencies.

Join us to discuss together developing a global paradigm for maximum-integrity, low-latency and economically sound earth stewardship, anchored in direct flux measurements.
