Published in Nature: NASA-Funded Scientists Estimate Carbon Stored in African Dryland Trees
NASA Earth scientist Compton Tucker and his global team’s research is highlighted on the March 2 cover of Nature. To assess the surprising amount of carbon stored in Africa’s semi-arid regions, the researchers acquired commercial, high-res images of 10 billion trees through the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) and leveraged the Explore/ADAPT Science Cloud at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to organize and prepare the images for machine learning processing.
