Keaton-Ashanti and Mark SubbaRao (NASA Scientific Visualization Studio); Brenda Lopez-Silva (NASA Scientific Visualization Studio, SSAI); and Lesley Ott (NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Offic e)\n\nCarbon dioxide (CO2) is the most prevalent greenhouse gas driving gl obal climate change. However, its increase in the atmosphere would be even more rapid without land and ocean carbon sinks, which collectively absorb about half of human emissions every year. Advanced computer modeling tech niques in NASA's Global Modeling and Assimilation Office allow us to disen tangle the influences of sources and sinks and to better understand where carbon is coming from and going to.\n\nThis visualization shows the CO2 be ing added to Earth's atmosphere over the course of the year 2021, split in to four major contributors: fossil fuels in orange, burning biomass in red , land ecosystems in green, and the ocean in blue. The dots on the surface also show how atmospheric carbon dioxide is also being absorbed by land e cosystems in green and the ocean in blue. Though the land and oceans are e ach carbon sinks in a global sense, individual locations can be sources at different times.\n\nThis annotated composite highlights key CO2 sources a nd sinks and their seasonal patterns.\n\nRegistration Category: Enhanced A ccess, Full Access, Full Access Supporter URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=caf_473&sess=sess173 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
