Innova 1412 Deployed in Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Project The BACKGROUND University College Dublin (UCD) is involved in several research projects that aim to provide detailed information on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ecosystems, including an assessment of the influence of land management, inter-annual/extreme climatic variability and land use change on net ecosystem GHG budgets. This information contributes directly to the national reporting requirements under the UNFCCC Kyoto Protocol.
