Research Interests
My research expertise is in the atmospheric carbon cycle, primarily using radiocarbon and other tracers to understand the source and fate of fossil fuel CO2 emissions at scales from individual point sources to urban areas, regions and globally. I hold joint appointments at CIRES and at GNS Science, New Zealand, and co-chair the WMO Integrated Global Greenhouse Gas Information System (IG3IS) program.
Current Research
I use atmospheric greenhouse gas observations as well as radiocarbon and related tracers to understand the sources and sinks of greenhouse gases at the local, urban and regional scales. Connecting emissions science to policy outcomes is a key component of my research. Current projects include: INFLUX (the Indianapolis Flux Project) and North East Corridor (NEC) projects, evaluating urban greenhouse gas emissions; CarbonWatch-NZ evaluating New Zealand’s natural and anthropogenic carbon budget; and SOAR Southern Ocean Atmospheric Radiocarbon investigating Southern Ocean carbon exchange. I lead the GNS Science Rafter Radiocarbon Laboratory, which maintains expertise in a wide range of radiocarbon applications.
