Funds from the Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture supported purchasing a new instrument, a Mini Carbon Dating System or MICADAS at Yale University. The instrument is expected to help dozens of scientists assess the benefits of natural climate solutions to alleviate catastrophic global warming.
“The MICADAS will help advance fundamental understanding of important ecosystem processes and aid researchers, both at Yale and beyond, in evaluating the efficacy of natural climate solutions by quantifying carbon uptake in projects that seek to use ecosystems to capture carbon,” said Liza Comita, professor of tropical forest ecology at the Yale School of the Environment and co-director of the Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture.
