Title:
Space-Based Earth Observation Monitoring of Natural Infrastructure for Carbon Sequestration and Phosphorus Phytoextraction Applications
Agreement Value:
$499,999.30
Agreement Date:
Nov 17, 2021 - Nov 30, 2023
Description:
This project will implement a proof-of-concept and a feasibility validation of the ability to use space-based Earth observation (SBEO) data to quantify both the amount of phosphorus phytoextracted and carbon sequestered for a set of varied field trials carried out in the Lake Winnipeg basin. The project will set the foundations for a follow-on project to perform advanced application development to further demonstrate and refine the capability in the context of broader scope and reliability as a beta service in preparation for full commercialization and operation of upcoming global multi-spectral monitoring SBEO missions.
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.
