Objective Today, countries use a wide variety of methods to monitor the carbon cycle and it is difficult to compare datafromcountry to country and to get a clear global picture. The current global observational and modelling capabilitiesallow us to produce estimates of carbon budget at different level (from local to global) but many uncertainties stillremain. Decision makers need now more than ever systematic, consistent and transparent data, information andtools for an independent and reliable verification process of greenhouse gas emissions and sinks. Thereforehigher quality and quantity of CO2 and CH4 data, from different domains and with an enhanced spatial andtemporal resolution, need to be collected by a globally integrated observation and analysis system. This can beobtained by the coordinated Global Carbon Observation and Analysis System that this project aims at designing,addressing the climate targets of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) toward building a Global EarthObservation System of Systems (GEOSS) for carbon.Specific objectives of the GEOCARBON project are:• Provide an aggregated set of harmonized global carbon data information (integrating the land, ocean,atmosphere and human dimension)• Develop improved Carbon Cycle Data Assimilation Systems (CCDAS)• Define the specifications for an operational Global Carbon Observing System• Provide improved regional carbon budgets of Amazon and Central Africa• Provide comprehensive and synthetic information on the annual sources and sinks of CO2 for the globeand for large ocean and land regions• Improve the assessment of global CH4 sources and sinks and develop the CH4 observing systemcomponent• Provide an economic assessment of the value of an enhanced Global Carbon Observing System• Strengthen the effectiveness of the European (and global) Carbon Community participation in the GEOsystem Programme(s) FP7-ENVIRONMENT - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Environment (including Climate Change) Topic(s) ENV.2011.4.1.1-1 - Integration and optimisation of information for building a Global Carbon Observing System Call for proposal FP7-ENV-2011 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP-IP-SICA - Large-scale integrating project for specific cooperation actions dedicated to international cooperation partner countries(SICA) Coordinator FONDAZIONE CENTRO EURO-MEDITERRANEOSUI CAMBIAMENTI CLIMATICI Address Via marco biagi 5 73100 Lecce Italy See on map Region Sud Puglia Lecce Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Laura Panzera (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution No data Participants (26) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA United Kingdom EU contribution € 299 381,60 Address Earlham road NR4 7TJ Norwich See on map Region East of England East Anglia Norwich and East Norfolk Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Fiona Meardon (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data EIDGENOESSISCHE TECHNISCHE HOCHSCHULE ZUERICH Switzerland EU contribution € 327 680,70 Address Raemistrasse 101 8092 Zuerich See on map Region Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera Zürich Zürich Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Nicolas Gruber (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data WAGENINGEN UNIVERSITY Netherlands EU contribution € 571 632,45 Address Droevendaalsesteeg 4 6708 PB Wageningen See on map Region Oost-Nederland Gelderland Veluwe Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Wouter Peters (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data THE CHANCELLOR, MASTERS AND SCHOLARS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD United Kingdom EU contribution € 284 423,34 Address Wellington square university offices OX1 2JD Oxford See on map Region South East (England) Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Oxfordshire Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Gill Wells (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data STICHTING VU Netherlands EU contribution € 319 182,00 Address De boelelaan 1105 1081 HV Amsterdam See on map Region West-Nederland Noord-Holland Groot-Amsterdam Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Yvonne Kops (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS United Kingdom EU contribution € 565 244,09 Address Woodhouse lane LS2 9JT Leeds See on map Region Yorkshire and the Humber West Yorkshire Leeds Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Martin Hamilton (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data MAX-PLANCK-GESELLSCHAFT ZUR FORDERUNG DER WISSENSCHAFTEN EV Germany EU contribution € 850 163,75 Address Hofgartenstrasse 8 80539 Munchen See on map Region Bayern Oberbayern München, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Corinne Sacher (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data UNIVERSITE DE VERSAILLES SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES.
