and environmental research. >> we have a lot we can learn from this. whether it is carbon sequestration, soil secretion, what species are using our site. >> we have different sensors. here we have the methane sensor that measures the methane concentrations in the air. we have co2 sensors that measures co2 and water vapor. spencer: firm -- for researchers slight -- the slough is already generating valuable data that can help in the fight against climate change. she is showing off sensors placed on a three level tower that monitor levels of co2 and methane to help determine how much of the dangerous greenhouse gases might be sequestered by the title marsh. >> wetlands have water. this organic matter, this plant mass deposited in the soil stays there long term.
