For funding applications, certification and monitoring, rewetting needs a calibrated measurement — not a model assumption. NordiQ delivers it from satellite data, matched against real gauge readings.
Peatland protection and rewetting projects need a robust, area-specific proof for funding, CO₂ certification and reporting obligations — not just literature values per peat type.
The depth of the dry front determines a peatland's CO₂ balance — but area-wide on-site measurement is expensive and only point-based.
Many reports calculate with IPCC standard factors per peat-type class — without site-specific evidence of actual development.
Rewetting works slowly. Without a continuous time series, a project's success is hard to demonstrate objectively.
Four layers, combined into an area-wide, satellite-calibrated dry-front depth value per area and year.
Backscatter anomalies as an indicator of the shifting drying front — area-wide, cloud-independent, monthly time series possible.
Moisture index as an independent validation layer at pixel level.
Water balance and evapotranspiration estimation as a background correction.
Converting the satellite signal into a quantitative dry-front depth (cm) — the input for CO₂ flux estimates under IPCC emission factors.
For regulatory accreditation, NordiQ partners with providers of ground-based point measurements — the satellite proxy and the MRV report come from NordiQ, on-site certification from the partner. One report, one point of contact, two independent measurement layers.
