Members of the Carbon Cycle Scientific Steering Group (CCSSG) recently published a Forum (discussion) paper in Eos describing the major elements of a U.S. carbon cycle observation system and highlighting current and potential weaknesses in the system. (September 9, 2009)

The Carbon Cycle Interagency Working Group (CCIWG) welcomes two new members: Randy Johnson (Forest Service) and Kenneth Mooney (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). Johnson will replace Allen Solomon as the US Forest Service representative beginning in October. Mooney replaces Rik Wanninkhof as the NOAA Climate Program Office representative. (September 9, 2009)
The Carbon Cycle Interagency Working Group (CCIWG) welcomes two new members: Kathie Weathers (National Science Foundation) and Pai-Yei Whung (Environmental Protection Agency). Weathers replaces Laura Gough, who has completed her rotation at NSF and returned to University of Texas at Arlington. Roger Dahlman (Department of Energy), who served on the CCIWG since its inception, also departed from the CCIWG upon retirement from Federal service. (August 7, 2009)
The U.S. Ocean Carbon & Biogeochemistry (OCB) Project Office with co-sponsorship from the European Project on Ocean Acidification (EPOCA) is coordinating and hosting a hands-on ocean acidification short course that will convene members of the biological and chemical oceanography research communities to gain mutual insights on optimal ocean acidification experimental design. The short course will build on recommendations from the recent Ocean Acidification Best Practices Workshop in Kiel, Germany, and will provide a mechanism for educating scientists on appropriate chemical and biological techniques and protocols related to ocean acidification. The course will be held November 2-13, 2009 at the Marine Biological Laboratory and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Woods Hole, MA and targets participants at the post-doctoral to junior and mid-career faculty levels. More information about the course content and an application for participation (due September 1, 2009) can be found at http://www.whoi.edu/courses/OCB-OA/. (August 5, 2009)
