Gabe Chapin

Gabe Chapin is involved in Carbon Project Operations, where he plays a pivotal role in developing technology and fostering trust on the demand side of the carbon market. His work emphasizes community-level relationship building and maximizing social benefits for landowners. Chapin utilizes advanced remote sensing technology to scale climate action effectively. He is actively involved in the development of forest carbon projects under the newly implemented Verra ARR methodology. By integrating spatial data with field inventory data and relevant literature, Chapin derives essential information for robust credit yield estimates applicable to agroforestry, reforestation, and restoration projects. He develops innovative growth models to estimate carbon accumulation under various growing and planting conditions across different regions. Additionally, Chapin sources necessary data and information to estimate the natural risk and leakage deductions of carbon projects. He collaborates with an interdisciplinary team, including scientists, machine learning specialists, and software engineers, focusing on the preprocessing of optical and radar observations and inter-sensor calibration to produce clean time series data essential for quantifying forest carbon change. His efforts also extend to advancing research and development of core remote sensing products critical for carbon credit issuance.
