(Understanding) Mangrove Carbon
How can we appreciate, study, and conserve remote ecosystems?
Carbon's crucial role in different environments often goes unnoticed, especially in dense and harsh ecosystems like mangroves. Here, art, data, and geospatial technologies immersed you into the diverse and rich world of mangroves. A magical realm, an abstract painting, data-derived maps—all explore a mangrove's complex relationship with carbon, ecology, and people.
