Our Work on Quantifying Carbon Sources and Storage

Carbon is one of the most important elements on earth and plays a major role in climate change. To help inform carbon accounting and the use of nature-based approaches to climate regulation, we support scientific research for quantifying greenhouse gas emissions and for understanding carbon dynamics in natural systems.
