The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) and the National University of Singapore (NUS) Faculty of Science have signed an MOU for collaboration 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 the NUS Faculty of Science, on the sidelines of the 4th Singapore Geospatial Festival last week. Under the MOU, SLA will support carbon estimation research conducted by the NUS Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions (CNCS), a research centre under the Faculty of 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.
