Produktbeschreibung

Balancing Greenhouse Gas Budgets: Accounting for Natural and Anthropogenic Flows of CO2 and other Trace Gases provides a synthesis of greenhouse gas budgeting activities across the world. Organized in four sections, including background, methods, case studies and opportunities, it is an interdisciplinary book covering both science and policy. All environments are covered, from terrestrial to ocean, along with atmospheric processes using models, inventories and observations to give a complete overview of greenhouse gas accounting. Perspectives presented give readers the tools necessary to understand budget activities, think critically, and use the framework to carry out initiatives.

• Written by a combination of experts across career stages, presenting an integrated perspective for graduate students and professionals alike
• Includes sections authored by those involved in both early and later IPCC assessments
• Provides an interdisciplinary resource that spans many topics and methodologies in oceanic, land and atmospheric processes

Autorenporträt

Dr Ben Poulter is a Research Scientist in the Earth Sciences Division at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. He is an expert in using remote sensing and dynamic global vegetation models to quantify and monitor terrestrial ecosystem carbon stocks and the fluxes of carbon dioxide and methane. He has contributed to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment Reports (AR5 and AR6), the United States State of the Carbon Cycle Report (SOCCR-2), and has published numerous manuscripts on forest and wetland dynamics in response to natural disturbances, land-use change, changing climate and rising atmospheric CO2.

Dr Josep G. Canadell is the Executive Director of the Global Carbon Project and a chief research scientist at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization in Australia. His work focuses on collaborative and integrative research to study the human perturbation of the carbon cycle and the global budgets of carbon, methane and nitrous oxide. Additional interest is on assessing the size and vulnerability of earth's carbon pools and pathways to decarbonization. He has contributed to the last three Assessment Reports of the IPCC and publishes in the field of global ecology and earth system sciences.

Dr Dan Hayes is Associate Professor in the School of Forest Resources at the University of Maine. He teaches, does research and performs outreach on the use of remote sensing for forest inventory and ecosystem studies. He studies the role of climate change and disturbance in the dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems, with a focus on Arctic and Boreal regions. He has contributed to various regional, continental and global carbon budget modeling and synthesis efforts and publishes on the methods and results of multi-disciplinary, ecosystem-scale scientific investigations.
