Deep Carbon Observatory

• Global research program to transform our understanding of carbon in Earth

• Community of scientists --- biologists, physicists, geoscientists, chemists, and many others --- whose work crosses these disciplinary lines, forging a new, integrative field of deep carbon science

• 10-year initiative to intensify global attention and scientific effort in the burgeoning field of deep carbon science

• DCO infrastructure includes: public engagement and education, online and offline community support, innovative data management, and novel instrumentation

Deep Carbon Observatory

• Alfred P. Sloan Foundation pledged $50 million over the duration to fund: infrastructure development, scientific workshops, novel technology development, and preliminary research and fieldwork

• “Seed funding” awarded to catalyze collaborative scientific efforts around the world, increase public and private sector spending in deep carbon science, and leave a thriving community of international scientists as its legacy.

• DCO will synthesize 10 years of scientific research to generate unique and unprecedented views of Earth, looking at both scientific and human societal issues through a new, sharper lens.
