US Carbon Cycle Science Plan Goals, 1999
1. Quantify and understand the Northern Hemisphere terrestrial carbon sink.
2. Quantify and understand the uptake of anthropogenic CO2 in the ocean.
3. Determine the impacts of past and current land use on the carbon budget.
4. Provide greatly improved projections of future atmospheric concentrations of CO2.
5. Develop the scientific basis for societal decisions about management of CO2 and the carbon cycle.
Origin of the NACP
Origin of OCB
CCSP 1999 led to the creation of the NACP and OCB. Additional goals didn’t create specific research programs. Slide from: Ken Davis

Implementation Strategy, 2005
NACP Questions1. What is the carbon balance of North America and
adjacent oceans? What are the geographic patterns of fluxes of CO2, CH4, and CO? How is the balance changing over time? (“Diagnosis”)
2. What processes control the sources and sinks of CO2, CH4, and CO, and how do the controls change with time? (“Attribution”)
3. Are there potential surprises (could sources increase or sinks disappear)? (“Prediction”)
4. How can we enhance and manage long-lived carbon sinks ("sequestration"), and provide resources to support decision makers? (“Decision support”)
Current marching orders for the NACP.Slide from: Ken Davis

Overall Directions Many research priorities identified in the 1999 Plan
remain important Additional priorities are also needed, including:
1. Effects of human activities2. Vulnerability and resilience of ecosystems 3. Efficacy and consequences of carbon management
policies, strategies, and technologies Additional emphasis is also needed to:
Evaluate uncertainties in our understanding of the global carbon cycle
Coordinate research across scientific disciplines An optimally designed and integrated system of
sustained observations is critical to progressAvailable at: http://carboncyclescience.gov/
![Page 16: Mapping NACP Progress onto Long-term Carbon Cycle Science Goals](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816331550346895dd3b305/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Fundamental Science Questions2011 U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Plan:
How do natural processes and human actions affect the carbon cycle, on land, in the atmosphere, and in the oceans?
How do policy and management decisions affect the levels of the primary carbon-containing gases, carbon dioxide and methane, in the atmosphere?
How are ecosystems, species, and natural resources impacted by increasing greenhouse gas concentrations, the associated changes in climate, and by carbon management decisions?

Six Goals1. Provide clear and timely explanation of past and
current variations observed in atmospheric CO2 and CH4 - and the uncertainties surrounding them.
2. Understand and quantify the socio-economic drivers of carbon emissions, and develop transparent methods to monitor and verify those emissions.
3. Determine and evaluate the vulnerability of carbon stocks and flows to future climate change and human activity, emphasizing potential positive feedbacks to sources or sinks that make climate stabilization more critical or more difficult.

Six Goals (continued)4. Predict how ecosystems, biodiversity, and natural
resources will change under different CO2 and climate change scenarios.
5. Determine the likelihood of ‘success’ and the potential for side effects of carbon-management pathways that might be undertaken to achieve a low-carbon future.
6. Address decision maker needs for current and future carbon cycle information and provide data and projections that are relevant, credible, and legitimate for their decisions.

Changes• U.S. CO2 emissions are dropping.• California and the EPA are regulating GHG emissions.• Shale gas extraction has grown dramatically / gas
leakage is a significant new issue.• The age of satellite CO2 and CH4 measurement is
upon us.• A private-sector GHG measurement network exists.• Considerable interest in methods to measure
anthropogenic GHG emissions has emerged from the US government.

Approach: Coupled Terrestrial-Ocean Models
Dynamic Land Ecosystem Model used to estimate spatial and temporal patterns of delivery of water, carbon, and nitrogen and compared to data-based observations
DLEM terrestrial outputs linked to a physical-biogeochemical model to characterize coastal carbon fluxes and ecosystem dynamics
Modeling efforts will be supported by field survey-based and satellite-based observations of carbon fluxes and other biogeochemical processes
