Project

description

The

main

objective

of

the

Canadian

Optimized

High-Resolution

Representation

of

the

National

Terrestrial

Carbon

Cycle

(COHERENT-C)

project

is

to

rapidly

advance

Canada's

skill

at

representing

and

Canada's

terrestrial

carbon

cycle

as

climate,

and

atmospheric

greenhouse

gas

concentrations

Funded

by

the

Natural

Sciences

and

Research

of

(NSERC)

Alliance

program,

COHERENT-C

is

a

large

group

of

and

government

to

improve

ECCC's

open

source

community

model,

the

Canadian

Land

Surface

Scheme

including

Cycles

(CLASSIC).

CLASSIC

is

the

land

of

ECCC's

family

of

Earth

System

used

by

the

climate

impacts,

and

adaptation

communities.

COHERENT-C

is

the

first

attempt

at

a

process-based

of

Canada's

terrestrial

carbon

cycle

and

will

be

used

to

how

the

carbon

sink

and

source

status

of

our

managed

and

unmanaged

lands

may

change

in

the

future.

COHERENT-C

is

three

years

into

its

five

year

scope

and

seeking

a

new

PDF

to

carry

on

the

work

after

the

starting

secured

a

Research

Scientist

position

ECCC.

COHERENT-C

is

focused

on

producing

1)

annual

summaries

for

policy

makers

on

the

past

and

future

state

of

Canada's

carbon

sinks

and

sources,

and

2)

publications

and

presentations

detailing

an

improved

of

the

of

carbon

cycle

processes

in

Canadian

and

the

North.

Early

work

from

the

project

has

already

been

published

with

several

additional

manuscripts

now

in

preparation,

as

well

COHERENT-C

hosted

two

well

attended

project

workshops

with

a

third

planned

in

the

late

The

remaining

two

years

of

the

project

will

build

upon

the

momentum

established

in

the

first

three

years.
