As a nonprofit carbon registry and climate research center that emerged from Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy, we bring simplicity, reliability, and scale to the market for nature-based carbon credits.

Katie's research on remote sensing and nature-based solutions is helping BCarbon develop digital monitoring opportunities for our projects and protocols. Thanks for all your work, Katie!
It was great to participate and hear from all the inspirational speakers at the Women in Data Science conference at IBM in San Francisco yesterday! Thanks to all the volunteers who put together an amazing event! #wids #IBM

We're thrilled to partner with some of our Houston-area greenspaces (and Hou-based lab QuantumPro, Inc.) this week on a soil carbon sampling campaign. The results of these measurements will help us better understand the important role of our Coastal Prairie systems in carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation. Many thanks to the great field team at EarthOptics for getting after it in this August heat!

This week we have EarthOptics onsite performing soil sampling to measure the amount of carbon that is stored in the soils of the Cyvia & Melvyn Wolff Prairie and grasslands. Carbon storage in soil is a natural process that helps fight climate change by pulling CO2 out of the air. It also makes soils healthier for plants and improves their water retention so that floods and droughts are less severe. Gathering baseline data after our capital projects are complete allows us to evaluate conditions early on for comparisons in 3 to 5 years. This will assist us in understanding how the project changes, particularly in knowing the role of the native plant community and how it supports and influences soil conditions. Thanks to our friends at BCarbon for supporting this important data collection and educating Houstonians on the benefits of our ecological services!

Do you want to learn more about #carbonmarkets? This is a complex, confusing, and increasingly important topic. I recently came across this series from BCarbon providing a great introduction to Carbon Markets https://lnkd.in/dTt6yz6P. The videos are short, informative, and well worth the watch 🙂 #sustainability #naturebasedsolutions #naturalcapital

BCarbon staff have been on the road talking about all things carbon credits! Melanie Leigh Martin attended the AAPG Orphan, Abandoned, Idle, and Marginal Wells Conference in Cranberry, PA to discuss the opportunity for well plugging carbon credits in the voluntary carbon market. Sarah Swackhamer gave a "carbon credits 101" presentation at Prairie View A&M's second annual Women in Ag Day, and shared information about our East Texas-focused small landowner collaboration with PVAMU and US BCSD. Sarah also had the opportunity to be on a panel at CBASS's recent meet & greet in Rockport, TX to share information about how living shorelines and other carbon credit-earning projects can leverage private finance to implement and sustain green infrastructure. Thank you to the event hosts for inviting BCarbon to be a part of these conversations. We look forward to continuing the carbon market brainstorming in the coming months! Stay tuned.

As part of our U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) funded research project (Award DE-EE0009373), we are excited to host this field workshop at White Oak Pastures where we will be sharing our unique collaborative, integrated #science approach and to-date learning, as we continue to study the #biogeochemical #ecosystem dynamics of #agrivoltaic #grazing systems and advance the industry through the integration of #cattle. All of our researcher teams will be there to engage your interests and questions! Check out the QR link to register. Seats are limited.

Interested in learning more about ecosystem service values provided by Rangelands - excellent webinar opportunity by Earth Economics on February 21st! Great research out of USDA-NRCS and the team at EE. #Rangelands #ecosystemservices #naturebasedsolutions #conservation
Next week, Senior Analyst Angela Fletcher-Muñoz will present a summary of our work “Accounting for Nature’s Value with Rangeland Conservation Practices in the Western Range and Irrigated Region.” Funded by the NRCS Conservation Effects Assessment Project, the project assessed the effects of four conversation practices on 13 ecosystem services provided by rangelands. We found these practices increased benefits an average of $45.70/acre/yr on non-federal rangelands and $5.71/acre/yr on BLM-managed rangeland. The webinar starts Wednesday, Feb 21st at 3pm ET, and is free and open to the public. Please consider attending. #rangelandconservation https://ow.ly/A1JT50QAQZp
