A3 Foresight Program（2007 to 2010，extended to 2012）
CarboEastAsia
Capacity building among ChinaFlux, JapanFlux and KoFlux to cope with climate change protocols by synthesizing measurement, theory and modeling in quantifying and understanding of carbon fluxes and storages in East Asia

Overview

This project will bring together scientists from China, Japan and Korea to evaluate and integrate carbon and water flux measurements made in individual countries, and to up-scale site-specific results, to regional, national and finally entire East Asia by implementing following activities:

This program is supported by:
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)
