Earth's climate is intimately connected to the carbon cycle, which controls atmospheric CO2 through processes such as photosynthesis, respiration and ocean uptake. A thorough understanding of the carbon cycle, and potential feedbacks with climate change, is prerequisite knowledge for informed assessments of future climate, impacts, adaptation and mitigation. This proposal improves that understanding through measurements of CO2 and other key Kyoto-protocol greenhouse gases, links to global networks and satellite measurements, and advanced modelling. Australian science has a very important role to play in international networks due to our unique combination of southern hemisphere location and scientific standing.

地球的气候与碳循环密切相关，碳循环通过光合作用、呼吸作用和海洋吸收等过程控制大气中的二氧化碳。全面了解碳循环及其对气候变化的潜在反馈，是对未来气候、影响、适应和缓解进行知情评估的先决条件。这项建议通过测量二氧化碳和其他《京都议定书》的关键温室气体、与全球网络和卫星测量的联系以及先进的建模来改进这种认识。由于我们独特的南半球地理位置和科学地位，澳大利亚科学在国际网络中发挥着非常重要的作用。
