The Carbon Cycles and Sinks Network presents a public seminar on
LUCAS – Land Use & Carbon Analysis System of New Zealand
Peter Stephens is an environmental scientist who has been with the New Zealand Ministry for the Environment for the past 5 years. Prior to joining the Ministry, Peter was working for Landcare Research, a Crown-Owned Environmental Research agency. In this agency Peter was involved in public-good remote sensing and soil research programmes. Peter joined the Ministry for the Environment to establish a system whereby New Zealand could report and account under Article 3.3 of the Kyoto Protocol. This system is called LUCAS – Land Use & Carbon Analysis System. Peter is also a United Nations expert reviewer for Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) activities which are reported in national greenhouse gas inventories.
Peter will describe LUCAS and examine the issues New Zealand faced in developing LUCAS, and how these were overcome.
Time: Monday September 14th 2009, 6pm
Location: Central Hotel, 2 Exchequer Street, Dublin.
