What technologies can we leverage?
What practices can we change?
What information do we need?
How can NASA data, science and technology help meet those needs?

NASA and “Network” provide the global perspective and
unique combination of interdisciplinary science,
state-of-the-art Earth System modeling, and global remote sensing observations (sat,
airborne and terrestrial) needed to understand and project terrestrial carbon
cycle dynamics in real time...
…Cisco and Partners provide the global
understanding of what is required to make tropical rainforests ‘worth more
alive than dead’ by developing the business
models and the capabilities of a ‘planetary skin’
enabling real time forest carbon stock management
that can be funded by carbon markets & funds.
