The module ‘Joint Calculations’ refers to the<br />

process New N Zealandd uses to estimate<br />

national average carbon values by carbon pool for each land-use category<br />

and<br />

subcategory.<br />

The Joint Calculation<br />

process iss performed<br />

within thee Calculation and Reporting<br />

Application. Within the<br />

Joint Calculations interface, the user selects the appropriate area<br />

data and emission factors. The results of the calculations are carbon gains, losses and net<br />

change for<br />

all land-use<br />

subcategories whether<br />

in a conversion state or land remaining<br />

land, by year, by carbon<br />

pool, and stratified by North Islandd or South Island.<br />

Geospatial System<br />

The Geospatial System<br />

consists off hardware and specific applications designed to<br />

meet<br />

LULUCF reporting equirements. The hardware largely comprises servers for spatial s<br />
