2. U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Plan Evolution of Sarmiento and Wofsy (1999) The next U.S. carbon cycle science plan –Identify challenges and priorities for the next decade (~2010-2020) –Involve broader research community in formulation and implementation Recommendations go to agency managers who set carbon cycle science priorities for the next decade, and sponsor most of the carbon research in the U.S. Summer 2008 – Charter approved by CCIWG, co-leads identified and enlisted: Anna Michelak (University of Michigan), Chris Sabine (NOAA-PMEL), Rob Jackson (Duke University), Greg Marland (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) Comments/Updates: http://www.carboncyclescience.gov/carbonplanning.php
