Carbon Monitoring Systems Research and Applications
Carbon Monitoring Systems Research and Applications
Session ID#: 282313
Session Description:
The carbon cycle is central to Earth system science and relevant to a diverse set of stakeholders pursuing multiple applications of national interest. From atmospheric inventories, to ecosystem monitoring, agricultural productivity, to natural hazards and human health, there are a wide range of applications for carbon cycle science. Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) frameworks for carbon depend upon data that are accurate, systematic, practical, and transparent. Multiple MRV frameworks for carbon are evolving reflecting a diversity of spatial scales, governance arenas, and relevant policies, resulting in challenges around implementation, transparency, and comparability. Given the scientific challenges, policy importance, and breadth of activities occurring around the world, this session will focus on advances in MRV research and applications, including decision support and policy. Atmosphere-, land-, coastal-, ocean-, and stakeholder-themed contributions are welcome. Submissions from scientists and stakeholders are encouraged.
