This USGS grant supports research reviewing national carbon policies to identify and evaluate effective carbon sequestration and mitigation strategies. Its purpose is to clarify the link between Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and climate change. Recipients will analyze national policy approaches to ecological carbon sequestration and GHG reduction. Key tasks involve defining mitigation strategy criteria, compiling regional cost data from sources like FASON-GHG, and identifying linkages between assessment results and the FASOM-GHG model. Ultimately, this research aims to provide crucial insights into climate change’s cause-and-effect relationships.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research into the review of carbon policies across the nation. This will help in identifying and evaluating successful carbon sequestration, mitigation strategies, costs, and linkages. The recipient will examine national policy analyses of ecological carbon sequestration and Green House Gas (GHG) emission reduction, propose definitions and quantifications of (ecological) suitability and (economic) availability of mitigation strategies, compile data sources used by FASON-GHG and extract regional mitigation strategy costs information, and identify potential linkages between the assessment results and the FASOM-GHG model. Green House Gas emissions have been identified as a potential cause of climate changed. This research will lead to a better understanding of cause/effect and if any linkages between the two exist. |
