3 Knowledge Base Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems Roadmap Integrated global Human-Ecosystems-Climate Interactions (Model-Data Fusion, Assimilation); Global Air-Sea Flux analyses Sub-regional Funded T High-Resolution Atmospheric CO 2 sources/sinks Unfunded Southern Ocean Carbon Program, Process controls; Partnership Air-Sea CO 2 Flux errors in sink reduced T = Technology development Report = Field Campaign T Global Atmospheric CO 2 (OCO) Improvements: P Physiology & Functional Types Global Ocean Carbon / Particle Abundance Vegetation 3-D Structure, Biomass, & Disturbance Global CH 4 ; Wetlands, Flooding & Permafrost N. American Carbon Program Land Use Change in Amazonia 2002: Global productivity and land cover resolution coarse; Large uncertainties in biomass, fluxes, disturbance, and coastal events T Coastal Carbon N. America s carbon budget quantified Models w/improved ecosystem functions Reduced flux uncertainties; coastal carbon dynamics Reduced flux uncertainties; global carbon dynamics Terrestrial carbon stocks & species habitat characterized CH 4 sources characterized and quantified Regional carbon sources/sinks quantified for planet Effects of tropical deforestation quantified; uncertainties in tropical carbon source reduced Case Studies Process Understanding Models & Computing Capacity Land Cover (Landsat) LDCM Land Cover (OLI) Ocean Color (SeaWiFS, MODIS) Systematic Observations Vegetation, Fire (AVHRR, MODIS) MODIS) Ocean/Land (VIIRS/NPP) Ocean/Land (VIIRS/NPOESS) IPCC IPCC NA Carbon NA Carbon Global C Cycle Global C Cycle 3 Goals: Global productivity and land cover change at fine resolution; biomass and carbon fluxes quantified; useful ecological forecasts and improved climate change projections

4 Research Planning and Management Teams for CC&E Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems Management Operations Working Group (CC&E MOWG) composed of representatives of the CC&E scientific community (mainly external) Focus Area Management Team (aka the Roadmappers ) composed of Program Managers/Scientists and NASA Center representatives (mainly internal) Land Measurements Team and Ocean Biology Measurement Team composed of members of competed instrument, mission, and/or measurement teams for relevant measurements Program Element Science Teams composed of scientists funded to conduct research within a given program element (e.g. Biodiversity, LBA, Terrestrial Ecology, LCLUC) Focus Area Managers/Scientists composed of relevant managers; weekly tag ups occasionally involve counterparts in 4 flight, technology, data & information systems, projects, etc.

5 New CC&E MOWG Members Greg Asner, Carnegie Institution Dick Barber, Duke University Mike Behrenfeld, Oregon State University (Co-Chair) Lisa Curran, Yale University Ruth DeFries, University of Maryland Carlos Del Castillo, Johns Hopkins University Paul DiGiacomo, Jet Propulsion Laboratory Jon Foley, University of Wisconsin (Co-Chair) Jeff Masek, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Rama Nemani, NASA Ames Research Center David Skole, Michigan State University Heidi Sosik, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Marc Steininger, Conservation International Randy Wynne, Virginia Tech Jim Yoder, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution 5

6 CC&E Response to R & A Budget Reductions (~20% in FY06 and FY07) No reductions to or terminations of existing research awards or recent selections (but some incremental funding or budget reprofiling) but recision applied to some IDS awards managed by focus area managers Reductions to some program/project support and infrastructure activities (e.g., aircraft hours; LBA, NACP/OCCC, and NEESPI science team support; conferences and workshops; direct broadcast) Reduced selections and some delayed start dates under pending ROSES-2005 program elements Many ROSES-2006 elements under review (mainly, the Focus Area programs did not solicit in 2006) 6
