Surface-Atmosphere Interactions: Direct Carbon Measurements for Effective Climate Solutions

Session ID#: 162143

Session Description:
Our quiver of Climate Solutions spans widely, from nature-based to engineered approaches, that reduce carbon emissions and sequester carbon in biomass, soil, and bedrock. Leveraging the full range of solutions is envisioned to avert the most drastic climate consequences to our geo-ecological life support systems. However, key questions surround realizable benefits, cost-effectiveness, environmental trade-offs, permanence, unintended consequences, equity and inclusion.

This session will focus on novel strategies to provide timely answers through leveraging direct measurements of carbon and energy exchanges such as eddy-covariance. These can be accompanied by other data sources including soil cores, biomass surveys and emission inventories. Of particular interest are studies that integrate with remote sensing and modeling to provide interoperable evidence across natural, urban, and industrial landscapes, and from the project- to policy-relevant scales. Especially encouraged are contributions that target accessibility and utilization of direct measurements to implement climate solutions and inform best practices for social, economic, regulatory, and educational change.
