B21M:
The Global Carbon Cycle: Recent History, Future Projections, and Policy Relevance I


Session ID#: 8705

Session Description:
The session focuses on new advances in understanding and constraining the human perturbation of the carbon cycle, the contemporary budget, and past and future trends of its various emission and sink components. This includes global emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels and land use change, the evolution of the CO2 sinks on land and oceans, lateral flows of carbon from land to ocean, and embedded carbon flows in international trade of products and services. Airborne fraction, sink rates and other diagnostics to track changes in the human perturbation of the carbon cycle are also sought in this session, as well as examples of how the budget data is being used to inform climate policy development.
