  2. Analyzing and interpreting forest carbon data from various sources, including satellite imagery and on-site field measurements, to assess the carbon sequestration potential of our portfolio companies' forest assets.
  3. Developing forest carbon sequestration models and estimating carbon credits potential in line with relevant regulatory frameworks and market standards.
  4. Identifying and assessing emerging carbon credit market opportunities and potential risks, and developing strategies to leverage those opportunities and mitigate those risks.
  5. Collaborating with other Aviot Industries' departments, such as the sustainability team, to integrate the forest carbon analysis results into the overall sustainability strategy of our portfolio companies.
