Session
1: Monday 14 April The
Global Carbon Cycle - (session organiser:
Mike Harvey)
The
purpose of this session is to review the current understanding of the
global carbon cycle from various interdisciplinary research efforts in
biogeochemistry and atmospheric research. Emphasis
is given
to work in the wider New Zealand region. This session will
include discussion of some large scale mitigation engineering options.

Call for Posters
We
encourage researchers working on the global carbon cycle to submit a
poster presentation to the workshop. We are especially
interested
in
(a)
work related to understanding carbon biogeochemical cycling,
(b)
the quantification of regional budgets and
(c)
research and policy aspects related to mitigation of carbon emissions.
Session
3: Tuesday

Carbon
Policy, Policy realated science and assessment -
Session convenor: Martin Manning
The
purpose of this session is two fold:
(1) to provide a summary of the framework to evolving policy for carbon
constraint through the Emissions Trading Scheme,
(2)
to consider current and future science needs arising from evolving
policy including wider aspects of carbon constraint,
especially
those being considered under integrating frameworks considering
biophysical, social and economic aspects.
