Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory- Terrestrial Carbon
research supports the development, testing, and application of
Integrated Terrestrial Carbon Models (ITCMs) that will be used to
simulate carbon fluxes in North America in the near term, coupled
with global climate models in the long term. This work is a
multi-institution collaboration under the coordination of the lead lab
in this SFA, Oak Ridge.

Berkeley Lab. Climate Change and Carbon Management program
conducts research to increase the scientific foundation for climate
change prediction, impact assessment, and mitigation. In addition,
program research on biogeochemical cycles and climate also
addresses other pressing issues under the purview of DOE and other
public agencies, such as stewardship of water resources and the
environmental effects of energy use and land use.

"Genes From Tiny Algae Shed Light On Big Role Managing
Carbon In World's Oceans" ScienceDaily (Apr. 10, 2009)
"Scientists from two-dozen research organizations led by the U.S.
Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute and the Monterey Bay
Aquarium Research Institute have decoded genomes of two algal
strains, highlighting the genes enabling them to capture carbon and
maintain its delicate balance in the oceans."

"Covering only an estimated
3–4% of the world’s land area, peatlands are estimated to
hold 540 gigatons of carbon, representing about 1.5% of the
total estimated global carbon storage and about 25–30% of that
contained in terrestrial vegetation and soils."
