Published purpose

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, primarily from agricultural activities, pose a significant challenge to global warming, with Canada contributing substantially. By integrating satellite imagery and field-based measurements, this project aims to map high-risk areas for N2O emissions in western Canada, potentially reducing emissions by 40% through targeted mitigation strategies, with real-time recommendations for climate change adaptation.
