A meeting summary and full workshop report from the May 2008 Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry scoping workshop website on Terrestrial and Coastal Carbon Fluxes in the Gulf of Mexico are now available. (May 7, 2009)
The new CarboNA website is now available at http://nacarbon.org/carbona/index.htm. CarboNA is an international collaboration between Canada, Mexico, and the United States for carbon cycle science research throughout North America and adjacent coastal waters. The overall goal is to understand the temporal and regional distribution and magnitudes of carbon pools and greenhouse gas fluxes throughout North America, and how these affect and are affected by disturbances, human behavior, and climate and related changes, in order to predict future climate change and evaluate carbon related mitigation strategies and new technologies. In the United States, CarboNA comes under the auspices of the US Carbon Cycle Science Program and the Carbon Cycle Interagency Working Group and includes work from both the North American Carbon Program and the Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry program.

The Carbon Cycle Science Working Group recently released a scoping paper outlining program goals and expected accomplishments for the next decade of US carbon cycle science. Over the next year, this document will be expanded into a full US Carbon Cycle Science Plan. If you wish to comment on this document, you may do so via the Carbon Cycle Science Planning Blog or by sending an email to CCSPlan@gmail.com.
You may also read more about the planning effort and a meeting of the Carbon Cycle Science Working Group in a recent Eos Meeting Report, published March 24 and on our Carbon Cycle Science Planning for the Next Decade page. (April 15, 2009)
