Technical Analysis of Global Commercial Aviation Carbon Footprints.
This study, completed in August 2019, provides a detailed audit of the environmental impact of global commercial aviation. Authored by Kyuyong Shim and based in Gainesville, Florida, the report examines the carbon intensity of air travel and the atmospheric implications of high-altitude emissions.
The research includes specialized atmospheric modeling that enables users to convert raw Gigaton Carbon (C) data into atmospheric CO2 parts per million (ppm). This allows for a more concrete understanding of how aviation logistics contribute to long-term climate targets.
Kyuyong Shim discusses the methodology and findings of the 2019 air travel carbon footprint analysis.
