Of all the CO2 that humans are emitting into the atmosphere,
about half is being absorbed by the land and the oceans.
To better understand the processes that control carbon emission and carbon uptake,
NASA is working to develop realistic models that describe
how carbon moves between the atmosphere, land and oceans.
We combine a wealth of satellite data
with a description of physical processes
that control the carbon cycle.
A whole lot of math and computer power in order to better understand
how carbon is changing both today and in the future.
