Synthesizing Deep Carbon Science
Synthesizing Deep Carbon Science
Session ID#: 81324
Session Description:
This session synthesizes new results on the quantities, movements, origins, and forms of deep carbon in Earth and other planetary bodies. We invite contributions that synthesize deep carbon science within and across such areas as extreme physics and chemistry, reservoirs and fluxes, deep energy, and deep life. The session will also address cross-cutting activities, including field studies, instrumentation, data science, and modeling and visualization. The vast majority of previous research on the global carbon cycle focuses on a small fraction of Earth’s carbon that is at or near the planet’s surface. In contrast, this session addresses Earth’s entire carbon cycle, including the estimated 90 percent of Earth’s carbon that resides in the planet’s deep interior.
