Deep Carbon Observatory
• Alfred P. Sloan Foundation pledged $50 million over the duration to fund: infrastructure development, scientific workshops, novel technology development, and preliminary research and fieldwork
• “Seed funding” awarded to catalyze collaborative scientific efforts around the world, increase public and private sector spending in deep carbon science, and leave a thriving community of international scientists as its legacy.
• DCO will synthesize 10 years of scientific research to generate unique and unprecedented views of Earth, looking at both scientific and human societal issues through a new, sharper lens.
