| Video Discription | While old-growth forests have long been viewed as carbon neutral, we now know that they regularly accumulate carbon at least in the tropics. However, little is known about their carbon stocks and rates of accumulation. Collaboration with the Carnegie Airborne Observatory led Dr Potvin's team to publish a LiDAR-derived carbon stock map for Panama, which identified the Panama’s Darien as the region with the highest stocks. However, the lack of field data limited the resolution of areas with high carbon content. To remedy this, Dr Potvin and her team have developed participatory methods with their indigenous collaborators, giving them access to remote areas and exceptional old-growth forests. To begin the semester, Dr Potvin therefore invites us to travel with her to the old forests of Panama. https://www.ualberta.ca/sustainability/index.html https://www.ualberta.ca/sustainability/events/lectures/index.html u02P2ZRB064 |
