The inter-disciplinary program, started in January
2001, housed within the School
of Natural Resources, is an integral part of The Ohio
Agricultural Research and Development Center of the College
of Food, Agriculture and Environmental Sciences. The program
focuses on understanding and enhancing the science, management
and policy of carbon(C) within terrestrial (i.e., soil and
biotic) and aquatic (wetlands, reservoirs and flood plains)
pools, their linkages with the atmospheric pool, and the effects
of anthropogenic perturbations on these pools and linkages
among them. It involves research, teaching and extension activities
that address basic and applied issues of C dynamics in relation
to the accelerated greenhouse effect. The program works in
close collaboration with relevant programs in other colleges
within The
Ohio State University, and fellow institutions in the
U.S. and internationally.
