The Carbon Emissions Characterization and Inventory Workshop was an interdisciplinary discussion on current realities about what is known and what is not known about carbon emissions-related research. The goal was to document as many limitations and opportunities related to the monitoring, sampling and analysis of carbon emissions as possible in a two-day meeting. More than 40 participants came from academia, government, private corporate and consulting firms in the interest of advancing the science of atmospheric carbon on the issues of visibility, health, and climate and to help focus future research and its subsequent real-world applications to the benefit of sponsors and the broader research community.

The Carbon Emissions Characterization and Inventory Workshop was fourth in a series addressing current issues in atmospheric aerosol sampling, analysis, and data interpretation.

In this unique format, five “topic leaders” briefly set a context for discussion, then facilitated open-floor discussion of five broad core questions. Notetakers recorded discussion outcomes as the conversation proceeded in order to published results on the website quickly. Sponsors, researchers and others who are interested in the subject of atmospheric and air quality research and those who are affected by it in some way will find the recommendations useful, it is hoped.

The workshop was attended by key researchers from complementary disciplines in private industry, academia, and government agencies, of sponsoring agency representatives, and graduate and post-doctoral students, similar to previous workshops.

Please follow the links in the Summary Report to veiw topic leader powerpoint presentations, which are followed by summaries of break out group sessions. You will also find interesting commentary about the workshop and other subjects in the list of brainstorming session remarks.
