Workshop on Aggregated Monitoring

Thursday, October 9th | 8:30am – 6:00pm

Kline Geology Lab, Yale University

Event Summary

The Carbon Removal Standards Initiative and the Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture are convening an invite-only workshop to gather insights from civil society on aggregated monitoring best practices.

In this workshop, participants will: we will:

  • Get an overview of the current state of enhanced weathering (EW) quantification, including current soil sampling commercial practice and case studies from EW project developers. 

  • Discuss learnings from related domains (e.g., agronomic studies, soil carbon crediting, forest management) with similar challenges.

  • Develop recommendations for EW scientists and practitioners for field trial design.

Attendees are also invited to contribute to a planned perspective on sampling design.
