CARBON MEASUREMENT & ACCOUNTING GROUP

Welcome to the Carbon Measurement and Accounting Group led by Prof. Arvind Ravikumar at the University of Texas at Austin, where we develop science-based solutions to measure, monitor, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the global energy system. We are a team of researchers, post-doctoral scholars, graduate and undergraduate students leading field campaigns, systems modeling efforts, and policy analysis all with a singular goal of improving our carbon accounting methods.

Our work combines cutting-edge measurement technologies—from satellites to aircraft to ground-based sensors —with robust data analytics and policy insights to support transparent, trusted greenhouse gas emissions accounting. From oil and gas to emerging sectors like hydrogen and carbon dioxide removal, we help build the tools and protocols needed for credible climate action. Whether you're a policymaker, an industry leader, a start up, or a student curious about climate solutions, we invite you to explore our work and get involved.
