Infographic Illustration on Soil Carbon & Hydrology Research
Carbon Sequester commissioned this illustrated infographic that communicates the aims, methods, and key findings of a research project integrating soil carbon data with hydrology modelling. The infographic translates complex environmental research into a clear, visually engaging format suitable for both technical and non-specialist audiences.
The visual content highlights the project’s nine case studies, explaining how data from soil carbon and water modelling can be used to support sustainable land management and investment decisions. The client provided a PowerPoint presentation which the information was extracted from for the infographic design.
