  3. The International Partnership CarboEurope, Germany GHG CA, Italy IOC/SCOR-CO2 Panel Paris, France NIES,Tsukuba Japan Beijing, China IWG-NACP, D.C., USA Inter.Proj.Office CSIRO,Canberra Australia Affiliate Office To be established in 2004

  4. Preliminary analyses indicate a risk over the coming century of up to 200 ppm of atmospheric CO2 Vulnerability of carbon pools in the 21st Century Grubber et al. 2004 (from Field and Raupach 2004, SCOPE-GCP rapid assessment) 1 proposal submitted, 2 in preparation

  5. Vulnerability of the Carbon-Climate System Fire/LUC Grubber et al. 2004 (from Field and Raupach 2004, SCOPE-GCP rapid assessment) • Compile a catalogue of vulnerable carbon pools. • Quantify the extent of these pools and their carbon content. • Assess the processes affecting the balance and release of carbon. • Analyze the impacts of these C releases on atmospheric [CO2] and climate change.

  6. Designing less-C intense pathways for urban development Throughout the integration of carbon management into the development strategies of cities: • GHGs budgets for urban case studies • Links between emissions and socio/economic/institutional variables (past 20 years) • :Alternative pathways of urban development (50 years into the future) • Capacity building. Network of Case Studies Chiang Mai Manila Jakarta Ho Chi Minh New Delhi (Melbourne) Mexico City Santiago Buenos Aires Asia Pacific C-S America APN IAI/START

  7. International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project • Synthesize large-scale ocean carbon observation activities. • Promote acceptance of standardized measurement techniques • Improved accessibility to international carbon data sets IOCCP [with the IOC-SCOR CO2 Panel] Volunteer Observing Ships Repeated Sections • 13-15 January 2003, Paris, FranceInternational Workshop on Ocean Carbon Research and Observation Activities. Contact: Maria Hood, Chris Sabine • 10-14 March 2003, Hazaki Town,Ibaraki, Japan • International pCO2 sensor intercomparison experiment. Contact: Y.Nojiri • 14-17 January 2004, Tsukuba, JapanWorkshop on Ocean Surface pCO2, Data Integration and Database Development. Contact:Y.Nojiri

  8. Other Activities Earth System Modelling (climate-carbon-socio/economic system). Developing new data assimilation approaches for the global carbon cycle (Australia led w/ ESA leverage funding for the next 3 years). Developing new global socio-economic measurements and surrogates for modelling purposes. Regional Carbon budgets: comparative study on regional approaches and developing a bottom-up global budget. Global/regional carbon sources and sinks. Transport Trace Gas Model Intercomparsion (TransCom phase 4).

  9. P-O-E-T-I-Cs of the Carbon Cycle • Integration of Human & Biophysical Forces • Regional Development & the Carbon Cycle
