Carbon Cycle Science Program

The Carbon Cycle Science Program studies how carbon moves through Earth's systems—atmosphere, land, oceans, and living things. It investigates how natural processes and human activities affect carbon levels, influencing climate change. By understanding these pathways and interactions, the program aims to improve climate predictions and develop strategies to manage carbon emissions, helping to protect ecosystems and mitigate global warming. It combines observations, experiments, and models to provide insights into the carbon cycle’s role in Earth’s environment.
