NEW NERC PROJECT International Collaboration on
Data Assimilation in Terrestrial Carbon Cycle
Science
Exchange between scientific staff for three
months from key institutions (CSIRO, MPI, LSCE,
CSU, MBL in the UK, CTCD and DARC are joint
leaders on this project, but we will also be
looking at the needs and opportunities for QUEST,
ECMWF, CLASSIC and CEH). International
conference Six international workshops

C Cycle Sub-themes

• Using atmospheric measurements of CO2 and CH4 to
  learn about surface fluxes and their causes.
• Model-data fusion for land C fluxes using surface
  observations
• Carbon fluxes from biomass burning
• Ground-based methods data, parameters, process
  descriptions and EO fundamentals.
• Understanding the tropical carbon balance of the
  land surface.
• Quantification of sea surface processes
• Quantification of ocean biogeochemistry and
  carbon fluxes
• Quantification of bio-physical interactions and
  air-sea CO2 fluxes
• Data assimilation techniques for marine ecosystem
  models.
• Reanalysis, validation and prediction of marine
  carbon estimates
