The Basemap forest dataset serves as the foundation of the Natural Capital Exchange. The probabilistic model provides acre-by-acre intelligence on the location, diameter, and species of trees across the contiguous United States. By combining Basemap forest cover and composition data with economics, timber-harvest pricing, and regional information, NCX can give an accurate assessment of timber and carbon value for every acre of land at no cost to the landowner.
In this webinar, Dr. Max Joseph will provide a deep dive into how Basemap is built, and how it's used to provide quality estimates of forest carbon.

Mapping Forest Data: Extending Aerial Imagery
Aerial imagery is an incredible tool to help map forest data. But exploratory data analysis techniques can be used to create images that show patterns more clearly than in the original images.
Assessing Additionality in Forest Carbon
In this webinar, you will learn what it takes to understand business-as-usual for every acre of forest in order to assess additionality and ensure quality in forest carbon projects.
