Agreement Date:
Mar 25, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024
Description:
The project develops a new Earth system analytical model “CAN-TG” which utilises satellite data from a number of Canadian sensors or missions to predict carbon and moisture dynamics of key Canadian terrestrial ecosystems, including wetlands and at the northern tree line. Key strengths of new model is its fine spatial and temporal scale and its verification using existing Canadian datasets. This project has been developed as a collaboration between academia, the Canadian Forest Service and Environment and Climate Change Canada.
Organization:
Canadian Space Agency
Expected Results:
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
