Journal special issue 'Aquatic Carbon From Space'. Why: aquatic carbon is a major component of the Earth system in carbon cycling and carbon sequestration. Why now: substantial advancements have been made;especially after numerous carbon projects funded by NASA;ESA and other agencies;and in response to CEOS;GEO;IGCO What: current state of knowledge of the carbon cycle and the role of aquatic environments;with recent numbers / impact factors;from observations to modeling and applications Themes: carbon stocks;sources/sinks;fluxes; methodology and uncertainty estimates
The invitation to contribute to the Special Issue "Aquatic Carbon Stocks and Fluxes: The BigPicture from Remote Sensing" was distributed through various mail lists and posted on the IOCCG's website in May 2021. Manuscripts are to be published in Earth-Science Reviews in 2022. August 1st was the deadline for interested contributors to submit Letters of Intent (LOIs) to the Invited Editors; Invited Editors are currently reviewing the LOIs received.
All manuscripts that were anticipated to be contributed to the special issue were received in August 2022 and are under review. Accepted manuscripts are expected to be published by the end of the calendar year.
