Carbon Cycle

The Carbon Cycle group studies the biological, physical and chemical land surface processes and interactions and feedbacks between atmosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere.

Simplified illustration of the work done by the Carbon Cycle group (green background) and its expected inputs and outputs (grey background).

Specific research topics include carbon dioxide, methane and water fluxes and their reservoirs in vegetation and soil, transport in atmosphere, and model-data fusion using advanced numerical methods. The research is based on numerical modelling, from local to global scale with focus on northern regions.

The work is done in close collaboration with the Climate System Modelling, Greenhouse Gases and Greenhouse Gas Modelling groups as well as the Atmospheric Composition, Space and Earth Observation Centre, Meteorological Research and Climate Impacts and Adaptation units.
