NWO/NSO Grant for Burning Questions on Carbon Emissions
Earth scientists Ivar van der Velde and Ilse Aben (SRON/VU) have received an NWO/NSO grant within the call ‘Use of space infrastructure for Earth Observation and Planetary Research’. They will use it to appoint a postdoc to measure carbon monoxide above forest and landscape fires with the Tropomi space instrument. In combination with other datasets, the amount of carbon dioxide can be deduced from the amount of carbon monoxide.
