Global carbon research focuses on the study of carbon sources, sinks, and cycles on a global scale. This includes understanding the various natural and human-driven processes that impact the carbon cycle, such as deforestation, fossil fuel burning, and land use changes. Researchers in this area aim to quantify and monitor carbon fluxes between the atmosphere, land, and oceans to better understand the impacts of human activities on the global climate system and to inform policies for mitigating climate change. Key research methods include satellite observations, ground-based measurements, and modeling techniques.
