- Title
NIWA scientists leading Aotearoa New Zealand's MethaneSAT agricultural emissions science programme are gearing up for the launch of its satellite in coming weeks.
- Abstract
NIWA scientists in New Zealand are preparing to launch the MethaneSAT satellite, which is part of a global initiative led by the US Environmental Defense Fund to track and reduce methane emissions worldwide. The satellite will be able to measure methane at a high spatial resolution and unprecedented precision, making it the first satellite capable of quantifying diffuse agricultural emissions. New Zealand, with its greenhouse gas profile and measurement capabilities, will serve as a test ground for the MethaneSAT agricultural program. The project is a collaboration between experts in New Zealand and the US and is funded by the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment.
