Pep Candell

Pep is a Chief Research Scientist in the CSIRO Climate Science Centre and Executive Director of the Global Carbon Project, a global consortium of scientists under the umbrella of Future Earth and a scientific partner of the World Climate Research Programme. The GCP studies the impact of human activities on the carbon cycle and other biogeochemical cycles, and its associated changes in the climate system.

Pep focuses on collaborative and highly integrative research to develop Australian, regional and global budgets and trend analyses of the main greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. He also studies the size and vulnerability of Australian and the Earth’s carbon pools, carbon-climate feedbacks, and pathways to decarbonization to stabilize the climate, which include land-based carbon sequestration and negative emissions. His focus is in using robust understanding of Australia and global biogeochemical cycles to address questions of great policy relevance.
