Abstract
The buildup of carbon dioxide and methane in Earth’s atmosphere is driving global climate change, but what exactly are the sources of carbon dioxide and methane going into the air? How are natural processes removing carbon dioxide and methane out of the air? Do estimates of emissions based on economic data for fossil fuel burning, agriculture and other processes match the changesÌýobservedÌýin the air?
Biography
Heather Graven is a Professor of Climate Physics at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø whose research investigates emissions and removals of carbon dioxide and methane. In her inaugural lecture she will discuss how atmospheric measurements of carbon dioxide and methane concentrations and their isotopic composition can be used to evaluate emissions and removals on urban to global scales.
