The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) and NUS Science signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on leveraging geospatial data and technologies for carbon estimation research in Singapore. The MOU was signed by Mr Colin Low, Chief Executive of SLA, and Professor Sun Yeneng, Dean of NUS Science, at the sidelines of the 4th Singapore Geospatial Festival 2022.
Under the MOU, SLA will support carbon estimation research conducted by the NUS Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions (CNCS), a research centre under NUS Science, with the necessary geospatial data acquired using technologies such as airborne laser scanning and imagery. The collaboration will bring about improved methodologies that can enhance productivity and cost efficiencies in carbon estimation of Singapore’s nature reserves and other ecosystems.
