Global Warming and Carbon Offset Projects:
Concern for this issue has led to an increased focus on the role of forests in the global carbon cycle. As a result, government agencies, environmental organizations, and private industry are sponsoring terrestrial carbon projects to sequester or preserve forest carbon. To ensure a project's success, it is important to accurately measure and monitor carbon over time and report benefits in a clear and accurate format, based on scientifically-proven methods.

The buildup of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere
via the burning of fossil fuels, and deforestation are believed to
be causing increases in the Earth's average temperature.
Matt Delaney is a forestry consultant who specializes in carbon offset projects. He holds a Master’s degree in forestry from the University of Illinois and a B.S. in environmental studies from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, NY. For 13 years, he has worked on various forest carbon projects internationally and domestically. As an employee of Winrock International for seven years, he helped develop measurement protocols for forest carbon projects and was part of the original team tasked with measuring carbon benefits for the Rio Bravo Climate Action Project in Belize, the Noel Kempff Climate Action Project in Bolivia, and the Guaraqueçaba
Climate Action Project in Brazil. He has also led forest carbon inventories of Afognak Island, Alaska as well as bottomland hardwood stands in Texas and Mississippi. His more recent carbon work includes afforestation projects in the Southeast. He is currently working with the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council and the US Forest Service in Redmond, Oregon to develop better estimates of carbon in small diameter vegetation as part of a multi-agency effort to enhance forest health, reduce wildfire risk, and develop carbon offset opportunities.
