session 6
Mitigating the Climate Crisis from Space
- type
oral
- Description
The 2021 IPCC report on climate change issued several stark messages about Earth’s climate change – indisputably human caused, 2010 – 2020 was the hottest decade in 125,000 years, and greenhouse gas emissions are one of the leading causes for these changes. Space-based observations played an essential role in these findings. The focus of this session will be on the monitoring and mitigation toward the COP 26 goals and on techniques for measuring greenhouse gases (GHG) from space, what the measurements are telling us today, and what it means for the future of the planet. Papers are encouraged to address COP meeting objectives as well as describing GHG missions (past, present, and future), data processing, calibration and validation, modeling, and climate predictions. GHG include carbon dioxide and short-lived contributors like methane and aerosols.
