Land-ocean-aquatic Continuum (LOAC) Component

As part of the RECCAP2 initiative, the land-ocean-aquatic continuum (LOAC) groups synthesise regional and global GHG budgets for inland waters (river, lake, reservoir), near-shore coastal (coastal vegetation and estuaries), continental shelf, and lateral fluxes.

The regional GHG budgets cover the 10 RECCAP2 regions: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Russia, West Asia, East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australasia.
