B23M:
State of the Carbon Cycle in North America: Key Findings from Assessing a Decade of Science, Decisions, and Management Impacts II Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 63525

Session Description:
Carbon cycle information observed and collected from diverse managed and unmanaged systems (land, air, water, human settlements) and interfaces across North America have led to breakthrough multi-disciplinary advances in the understanding of global change and related impacts, as well as consequent decision-making across scales. This session features pertinent key findings from the 2nd State of the Carbon Cycle Report (SOCCR2, 2018) which assesses 10 years of carbon cycle science from the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Led by the Carbon Cycle Interagency Working Group (CCIWG) and U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Program, this report was developed by over 200 multi-disciplinary team members, incorporating assessments of observations, indicators, trends, model projections, society, and decision-support infrastructure and mechanisms, including mitigation options for carbon management across assessed systems. Presentations from related assessments, syntheses and campaigns focused on carbon cycle research, science informing decisions and decisions impacting the carbon cycle are also welcome.
