This is a brief description of studies that exemplify the methods and approaches that have been developed and used by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) researchers in conducting integrated assessments. See the complete list of Integrated Assessment Briefs to find out more about ORNL's efforts in integrated assessment. Contact Mike Farrell (farrellmp@ornl.gov) for more information.

Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center

Global CO2 emissions data available from CDIAC.

What information support regarding global CO2 emissions is available for integrated assessment?

The Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory acquires or compiles, quality assures, documents, archives, and distributes data and other information concerning carbon dioxide, other greenhouse gases, and climate change.

CDIAC provides technical support for the Department of Energy Global Change Research Program, general research, policy-making, education, and corporate communities, and the public. CDIAC produces numeric data and computer model packages, the series Trends: A Compendium of Data on Global Change, the series DOE Research Summary, the newsletter CDIAC Communications, the CD-ROM CDIAC's Numeric Data Package Collection, and catalogs of its data and information products.
