Carbon on the Move

Carbon on the Move is the ianugural lecture of Tom Wagner, Professor of Earth System Science.

Carbon is always on the move, has been in the past, is presently and will be in the future. As carbon moves and intermittently settles it supports life, controls climate and the environment, and provides energy, in a highly complex way.

Global warming is exhilarating but difficult to predict, most probably with severe and overall negative consequences for society, economy, and ecosystems. Understanding the controls and consequences on carbon cycling in the modern world, and during past periods of extreme warmth is therefore critical to separate human impact from natural variability, and to underpin our ability to better adapt to future conditions.

Find out about the role of carbon as primary driver of ecosystems, climate change and energy resource in Professor Wagner's inaugural lecture.
