Federation Fellowships - Grant ID: FF0348540

Funded Activity Summary

New methods assisting the detection and attribution of changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. New scientific tools to manage the global environment are an international priority. An Australian breakthrough in technology has the potential to revolutionise the measurement and management of atmospheric carbon dioxide, the single largest anthropogenic contributor to greenhouse warming. The fellowship levers sufficient resources to assess this potential in a number of critical applications, including: early detection of predicted increases in Southern Ocean carbon dioxide emission; indefinite low cost monitoring of regional carbon flux changes over continental Australia; improved international standards for CO2 measurement; and improved manufacturing components for use world-wide in trace-gas measurement.
