B: Anticipating Changes in the Carbon Cycle

Program Leader: Dr John Evans, Australian National University.

This research attempts to anticipate changes in the Australian carbon cycle by focusing on how fundamental processes will respond to atmospheric change at fine scales and the relationship with the carbon cycle at coarse scales.
