Program A:

Measurement & spatial estimation of carbon pools and turnover

This program provides research outputs of continuous improvement in methods for measuring carbon pools and fluxes. It is directly relevant to the goals of the Centre, specifically because it makes a significant contribution towards filling a number of well-recognised gaps in the Australian carbon accounting framework.

Program Leader: Dr John Raison (Bio)
