项目摘要

Natural Climate Solutions (NCS), also referred to as Nature-based Climate Solutions, represent a broad portfolio of land and coastal ocean management options to mitigate climate change. Recently the interest in NCS has intensified due to a lack of success curtailing CO2 emissions. Many of these NCS technologies attempt to move carbon from the atmosphere into parts of ecosystems that store carbon such as soils and trees. Unfortunately, methods to measure and verify CO2 removal are often a NCS stumbling block. The radio isotope of carbon (14C) is a powerful tool to track carbon movement into ecosystems. Historically 14C measurements have been expensive and labor intensive. Recently, a MIni CArbon Dating System (MICADAS) was developed to conduct repeat 14C sampling of carbon in air and ecosystems. The MICADAS offers several advantages including lower costs and sample preparation time. The goal of this work is to explore mechanisms to make this instrument broadly available for scientists engaged in NCS research and development. Furthermore, the proposed community facility would establish training modules necessary for scientists new to isotopic work. These training modules will train scientists to take samples in the field and analyze 14C data to help determine the impact of their NCS on carbon cycling.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

自然气候解决方案（NCS）也称为基于自然的气候解决方案，代表了土地和沿海海洋管理方案的广泛组合，以减轻气候变化。最近，由于缺乏成功减少二氧化碳排放量，对NCS的兴趣加剧了。这些NCS技术中的许多试图将碳从大气中移动到存储碳（例如土壤和树木）的一部分。不幸的是，测量和验证二氧化碳去除的方法通常是NCS绊脚石。碳（14C）的无线电同位素是跟踪碳流动到生态系统的强大工具。从历史上看，14C的测量值昂贵且劳动量很高。最近，开发了一个迷你碳日期系统（MICADAS），以对空气和生态系统中的碳进行重复14C采样。 MICADA提供了几个优势，包括较低的成本和样本准备时间。这项工作的目的是探索该工具的机制，以使从事NCS研发的科学家广泛使用。此外，拟议的社区设施将为新手工作的科学家建立培训模块。这些培训模块将训练科学家在现场中采集样本并分析14C数据，以帮助确定其NC对碳循环的影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并认为值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的审查标准通过评估来进行评估。
