Climate
Climate questions in GIS come in two kinds: how the climate shapes a place (temperature, precipitation, flooding, sea level), and how land use affects the climate (carbon in soils and vegetation, emissions). Soil carbon links this hub to Soil.
Typical questions
- How much carbon is stored in soils and vegetation, and how does land use change it?
- Which areas are exposed to flooding or rising sea level?
- Where do emissions and deposition occur?
