The North American Carbon Program (NACP) is a multi-agency, multidisciplinary scientific research program focused on carbon sources and sinks in North America and its adjacent oceans. NACP’s success relies on the coordination among observational, experimental, and modeling efforts regarding terrestrial, oceanic, atmospheric, and human components of the carbon cycle. NACP relies upon a rich and diverse array of existing observational networks, monitoring sites, and experimental field studies. NACP is a primary activity of the US Carbon Cycle Science Program along with the US Ocean Carbon & Biogeochemistry Program. While many NACP projects are supported by US federal agencies through intra- and extramural funding mechanisms, membership is not limited to US-funded participants and projects.
