Soil Sampling & Modeling

Soil Sampling & Modeling Quality Carbon Credits

What does it take to ensure high-quality carbon credits start from the ground up, literally? In this episode, we dig into the science and strategy behind soil sampling and modeling for regenerative agriculture. Our Geospatial Analyst, Tommy, takes us behind the scenes of his day-to-day work using advanced software, high-resolution imagery, and land classification data to understand what's happening on the ground without setting foot in the field all the time. From analyzing vegetation to pinpointing the best areas for carbon sequestration, Tommy shares how technology and data are helping us verify impact and build better carbon projects.

About the our guests:

Tommy Pudil is originally from eastern Iowa, and attended school at Creighton University in Nebraska, as well as Georgia Southern University in Georgia. During his time at both schools, he used remote sensing to measure the health of vegetation and map land cover using artificial intelligence and machine learning. Growing up in Iowa, farming has always been something that is important to Tommy, and he enjoys using his skills to help the cause at Agoro Carbon Alliance. In his free time, Tommy likes to fish, hike, lift weights, and spend time with family and friends.
