Terrestrial carbon: modelling and monitoring  

Description

The module will cover: - The role of vegetation in the climate system - Terrestrial vegetation dynamics modelling - Remote sensing of vegetation - Concepts and maths of data assimilation - Using remote sensing data to constrain and test vegetation dynamics models The Terrestrial Carbon: modelling and monitoring module aims: - To outline the role of vegetation in the carbon cycle and the wider climate system - To outline how the vegetation carbon cycle can be modelled and use the models in prediction - To provide the linkages between the models and observations - To enable the students to use remote sensing (and other) data to constrain, test and criticise the models - To expose the students to modern statistical methods in combining data and models
