1. Advance science of C dynamics in natural
and managed ecosystems;
2. Provide technical support to industry, land managers and
policy makers towards natural sequestration of C in land and
water ecosystems by creating the database on rate of sequestration
and sink capacity (capacity of the land to store C) of C for
recommended land use and management practices;
3. Facilitate commodification of C in assessing its societal
value for benefits to agronomic/forestry productivity, impacts
on water quality and reduction of the greenhouse effects,
and provide information useful for public and private strategic
analysis for C sequestration and climate change management.
4. Develop a cadre of world class scientists trained in the
cutting edge of science and technology.
