Spatial Analysis for Agricultural GHG Science

Greenhouse gas emissions vary dramatically across landscapes due to differences

in soil properties, topography, climate, and management. GHGMET's geospatial

tools help researchers understand, visualize, and predict these spatial patterns.

Why Geospatial Integration Matters

Precision Agriculture

Target mitigation practices to areas with highest emission potential, optimizing

both environmental and economic outcomes.

Regional Scaling

Scale field measurements to watershed, county, or national levels using spatial

modeling and GIS data integration.

Hotspot Identification

Identify emission hotspots and prioritize monitoring locations for maximum

research impact.

Policy Support

Provide spatially-explicit emission estimates for climate policy development

and carbon market verification.

Our platform integrates seamlessly with industry-standard GIS software and

supports common spatial data formats for maximum flexibility.

Key geospatial features

Multi-Layer GIS Integration

Import soil maps, elevation data, land use, weather stations, and management zones. Overlay emission measurements with 50+ spatial data layers.

Supported Formats

Watershed-Scale Analysis

Aggregate emissions by watershed, HUC boundaries, or custom polygons. Support for nested watershed hierarchies and flow routing.

Watershed Tools

Satellite Data Integration

Combine ground measurements with satellite imagery (NDVI, soil moisture, temperature) for enhanced spatial predictions.

Remote Sensing

Advanced Spatial Interpolation

Kriging, inverse distance weighting, and machine learning methods to create continuous emission surfaces from point measurements.

Interpolation Methods

Spatial Modeling Approach

Data Integration Framework

GHGMET's geospatial platform integrates multiple data sources:

Field Measurements

- Point measurements from automated chambers

- Eddy covariance tower footprints

- Manual sampling campaigns

- Historical datasets

Environmental Covariates

- Soil properties (texture, organic C, pH, drainage)

- Topography (elevation, slope, aspect, TWI)

- Climate (temperature, precipitation, growing degree days)

- Land use and crop type

- Management practices (fertilizer, tillage, irrigation)

Spatial Analysis Methods

1. Geostatistical Interpolation

- Variogram analysis and modeling

- Ordinary and universal kriging

- Uncertainty mapping

2. Machine Learning

- Random forest spatial prediction

- Neural networks with spatial features

- Ensemble modeling

3. Process-Based Scaling

- Run models at each grid cell

- Integrate spatial covariates

- Aggregate to desired scale

Output Products

- High-resolution emission maps (1m to 1km)

- Uncertainty quantification

- Hotspot identification

- Temporal animation (seasonal/annual)

- Multi-scenario comparisons
