But scientists are still trying to answer important questions about how carbon dioxide emissions get absorbed by the land and the ocean — and how this could change in the future. We know that one-quarter of the carbon released from fossil fuel consumption is soaked up by vegetation and even the soil. Will rising temperatures and changing precipitation levels affect how much carbon is being absorbed?

George Hurtt, professor at University of Maryland, is leading the NASA Carbon Monitoring System to develop new technologies and techniques to better monitor and model carbon uptake. A more precise knowledge of the carbon cycle will reduce uncertainties and enable better decision making for the future.
