  2. Project Background and Goals The purpose of the project was to answer the basic question: How much carbon is stored in Ecuadorian mangroves?

  3. Results • Samples are currently being analyzed using UNC’s facilities and results are expected by December 2011. • These samples will be analyzed for carbon content, dated using and the cesium fallout, and combined with current satellite imagery of the study sites. • The data will be used to look for patterns between carbon content and depth in the sediment and between carbon sequestration rates and site characterization (high vs. low exposure and natural vs. restored status) For more information, please visit adelv.wordpress.com and www.thebluecarbonproject.com.
