Following multiple formal and internal reviews conducted by the U.S. Government, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicing (NASEM) and a public comment period, and consequent revisions and updates and revisions, the Second State of the Carbon Cycle Report (SOCCR2) is planned to be released by the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) in late 2018. Here we highlight some recent SOCCR2 public engagement activities, nationally and internationally, with presentations, Town Hall meetings, and panel discussions:

June, 2018

We are planning to convene sessions at the December 2018 American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in Washington, D.C. to engage with community members. The focus will be on two major accomplishments. We are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Carbon Cycle Interagency Working Group (CCIWG) and the U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Program. We are also in the process of preparing for the final release of the 2nd State of the Carbon Cycle Report (SOCCR2) in the fall of 2018 (pending final U.S. Government clearance).
