Ed Mitchard
I develop methods for mapping natural carbon stocks (especially forests and peats) globally using satellite data. I currently have twin roles: I'm a Co-Founder of Space Intelligence, a rapidly growing satellite data analytics company, and also a Professor at the University of Edinburgh.
Speaking topics include: carbon credits/offsets, the global carbon market, field ecology, forest degradation, voluntary carbon standard certification (Verra, VCS, Gold Standard, Plan vivo), DMRV analyses, using machine learning/AI to extract carbon data information from satellite datasets

There are actually geoengineering proposals that deploy satellites as “space mirrors” to reflect sunlight away from the Earth and keep it cool. Ed Mitchard, Professor at the University of Edinburgh and CEO and Co-Founder of satellite data analytics company Space Intelligence, tells Inverse that this kind of geoengineering would work by launching small satellites that unfold bigger structures to reflect away solar radiation.
“So effectively, you can have mirrors orbiting the Earth,” Mitchard says.
