Carbon Monitoring System project is designed to help characterize, quantify and
better understand the evolution of global carbon sources and sinks through
improved monitoring of carbon stocks and fluxes. The Carbon Monitoring System
initiative currently has 73 projects and 181 data products that span the areas
of atmospheric carbon flux, land biomass, terrestrial and coastal ocean model
integration, coastal wetlands, and ocean carbon dynamics producing science at
local, regional and global scales. This talk will exemplify uses of Carbon
Monitoring System data products in policy and decision-making, as well as
highlight synergistic opportunities between Carbon Monitoring System and U.S.
Forest Service.<span></span></font></span></p>

computer has a good Internet connection. A hard-wired connection is better than
wireless. Also make sure your computer has Adobe Flash Player (11.2 or
higher). No additional software is
required. To make sure your connections are configured correctly before the
seminar, test them by visiting: <a href="https://usfs.adobeconnect.com/ip100" target="_blank">https://usfs.adobeconnect.com/<wbr>ip100</a> Adobe
Connect Test. Also, users find that wearing a headset for the audio is better
than listening through a computer’s built in speakers. If you have technical questions, contact Adobe
