About the Talk As the world descended on Paris in December 2015 to negotiate a new future for worldwide carbon emissions, the city itself was undergoing an unprecedented scientific demonstration. Harris Corporation, partnering with the French Laboratory of Climate Science (LSCE), Atmospheric and Environnmental Research (AER) and Enviroearth, deployed their Green LITE (Greenhouse Gas Laser Imaging Topography Experiment) system which provides wide--area, near--real time mapping of CO2 concentrations over 25 sq. kilometers of the city. The demonstration is ongoing and will remain on site through 2016. This talk will provide an overview of the system, the initial results, and will discuss the value of the data being produced for policy and decision makers in light of increased scrutiny of local carbon footprints. |
