| Summary: | "For carbon sequestration, the issues of monitoring, assessment and verification of carbon content and storage efficacy are perhaps the most uncertain yet most critical issues facing the broader context of climate change in relation to carbon sequestration. As a result, this book presents current perspectives and research that combine four major areas: verification and assessment of global carbon sources and sinks; potential capacity and temporal/spatial scales of terrestrial, oceanic, and geologic carbon storage; assessing risks and benefits associated with terrestrial, oceanic, and geologic carbon storage; and predicting, monitoring, and verifying effectiveness of terrestrial, oceanic and geologic carbon storage. This volume is based on a Chapman conference and will appeal to the rapidly growing group of scientists and engineers in examining methods for deliberate carbon sequestration through storage in plants, soils, the oceans, and geological repositories."--Publisher's description. |
