Abstract

IIASA scientists are working closely with space agencies and research institutions to develop and verify the way satellites collect and process information about the global carbon cycle. The findings are reducing the huge scientific uncertainties surrounding how the natural world both releases and absorbs greenhouse gas emissions, which in turn will improve climate change predictions.
