Carbon Related Research during the International Polar Year (2007-2008)

To support the research carried out during the International Polar Year, the IOCCP has compiled information about on-going and planned ocean carbon research in the polar areas.  Many of these projects are not affiliated with or funded by the International Polar Year program, and many are multi-disciplinary programs that deal with a broad range of issues.
