Project objectives and description

My PhD forms part of the wider CarbonWatch-NZ research project, which aims to provide national scale CO₂ uptake and emissions estimates using an inverse modelling approach. My project will continue the development of an existing inverse modelling framework, incorporating new data into the model, and interpreting these results.
