Multi-Angle Narrow-Band Remote Sensing Of Gross Primary Production

As of 2015, global carbon flux analyses indicate that 30% of anthropogenic carbon emissions are taken up by an unidentified carbon “sink” likely through vegetation on land. Until the sink can be localized and studied, the processes underlying the carbon uptake cannot be identified, and its future response to a rapidly changing climate cannot be predicted. Satellite remote sensing combined with terrestrial carbon models have shown promise to locate and quantify the magnitude of the land carbon sink, understand it's underlying causes, and how vegetation might respond to climate change.
