Safeguards, and verification
This course is likely to explore environmental and social safeguards relevant to blue carbon initiatives, including risk management, verification processes, and accountability. You can expect attention to governance, equity, and avoiding unintended impacts alongside carbon outcomes. Course content is tentative and may be adjusted during development.
FreeBaselines, change detection
This course is expected to focus on establishing baselines and detecting change over time in blue carbon ecosystems. Topics may include reference conditions, monitoring design, remote sensing, and interpreting trends for management and reporting. The exact scope and methods covered may change as the course is finalised.
FreeField and lab methods (MRV)
This course is expected to cover practical approaches to measuring, reporting, and verifying blue carbon, including field sampling, laboratory analysis, and data quality considerations. It will likely introduce commonly used methods, strengths and limitations, and emerging tools used in blue carbon assessments. Content is indicative and subject to refinement.
FreeBlue Carbon Foundations
This course introduces the core concepts of blue carbon, including mangroves, seagrasses, and tidal wetlands, and their role in climate mitigation, biodiversity, and livelihoods. You can expect to explore why these ecosystems matter, how blue carbon fits within climate and ocean policy, and how science, governance, and communities intersect. Content and focus are tentative and may evolve as the course is developed.
