I am the chief of USGS Biologic Carbon Sequestration Program. The program focuses on assessment of carbon stocks, fluxes, and sequestration potential in major terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, understanding the effects of both natural and anthropogentic driving forces, developing carbon monitoring methods and capabilities, and providing technical support for increasing carbon sequestration in public land management. My responsiblities include developing program strategy, coordinating for research activities, tracking progress and achievements, making funding decisions, publishing results, and communicating about the program within USGS and with external stakeholders. In addition, I represent USGS as a lead scientist in external activities, including USGCRP Carbon Cycle Interagency Working Group, other interagency or international working groups, university committees, and collaborations.
