PMEL’s Dr. Chris Sabine is one of four co-leads on a new Carbon Cycle Science Plan just released.  Sabine and other U.S. Scientists have developed a new, integrated, ten-year science plan to better understand the details of the Earth’s carbon cycle and the people’s role in it. The plan extends the focus to new questions including the emphasis that humans are an integral part of the global carbon cycle.

Please visit the PMEL Carbon Program website for more information including a link to the full plan.
