Forests – A Natural Carbon Sink

Restoration Conversations II

Terraformation
We Don't Have Time

We Don't Have Time and Terraformation are proud to present episode 2 of Restoration Conversations, a series about nature's role in fighting the climate crisis. The series will explore topics such as nature-based solutions, biodiverse carbon, seed banks, and more!

In this episode, we focus on native forests and the role of data science in nature restoration. We hear a lot about planting trees as a solution, but it is also important to plant the right types of trees in the right areas to boost biodiversity and restore forests back to its natural state. Remote sensing and AI has the potential to harness data to create algorithms that accurately predict the future of carbon sequestration, which can help focus funding on the most efficient solutions.

Get ready to participate. Join the dialogue and ask your questions to the speakers on We Don't Have Time — the world's largest review platform for climate solutions. Download the app if you haven't done so already

Dr. Victoria Meyer

 (
)
Carbon Scientist, Terraformation

Dr. Victoria Meyer is Terraformation’s Carbon Scientist, developing forest carbon models for native reforestation projects around the globe. Before joining Terraformation in February 2021, she worked at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for nearly 10 years, developing techniques to measure forest carbon using a combination of tree measurements and remote sensing technology, from spaceborne and airborne platforms (mostly Lidar). Field work has taken her to Central America and Africa. Armed with a master's degree in environmental science from the University of Bordeaux, France, where she grew up, Meyer completed her doctorate from the University of Toulouse while working at JPL. Meyer's next mission was in education, first as Scientist-in-Residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago teaching environmental science to art students. She then landed at Caltech in Pasadena, California, where she currently lectures engineering students on science communication.
