The GCP is an international collaboration of climate researchers, which includes LMU geographers Julia Pongratz, Selma Bultan and Kerstin Hartung as contributors. The group monitors both the amounts of greenhouse gases released into Earth’s atmosphere and the quantities absorbed by the world’s oceans and sequestered in vegetation on land.
