Linking terrestrial–aquatic fluxes to rectify the Australian carbon balance

该项目旨在通过确定全国各地溪流和河流中陆地碳的损失量来纠正澳大利亚的碳平衡。通过高分辨率水化学和气体测量、遥感和机器学习算法的新颖集成，该项目旨在产生关于陆地碳封存与水生碳输出之间联系的新知识。预期的结果包括对整个澳大利亚生物群落和季节的净碳封存潜力的精确估计。这应该会带来显著的好处，比如避免温室气体减排政策的错位，推进碳循环模型和预测。

This project aims to rectify the Australian carbon balance by determining the amount of terrestrial carbon that is lost to streams and rivers across the country. Through a novel integration of high-resolution hydrochemical and gas measurements, remote sensing and machine learning algorithms, the project intends to generate new knowledge about the links between terrestrial carbon sequestration and aquatic carbon export. Expected outcomes include a refined estimate of the net carbon sequestration potential across Australian biomes and seasons. This should provide significant benefits such as avoiding misalignment of greenhouse gas abatement policies and advancing carbon cycling models and predictions.
