Quantifying the non-anthropogenic components of terrestrial carbon sinks

The Global Carbon Project (GCP), Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems (GCTE), and the Australian Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Accounting jointly sponsored a scoping workshop directly after the morning symposium. Workshop Notes (PDF Version)

Workshop Goals:

• Review the scientific basis for, and options for quantifying, indirect components of terrestrial sinks, given the post-Marrakesh policy environment; and
• Undertake initial scoping of plans for an international synthesis workshop and paper on this topic, to be developed with co-sponsorship of IPCC.

Workshop Participants:

• Damian Barrett, Josep Canadell, John Evans, Graham Farquhar, Roger Francey, Ian Galbally, Roger Gifford, Mark Howden, Christian Koerner, Chris Mitchell, Daniel Murdiyarso, Ian Noble, Diane Pataki, David Powlson, Michael Raupach, James Reynolds.
