TITLE:		Observational network design for quantifying urban CO2
 		  emissions


SPEAKER:	Alexander Turner   (Harvard University)


ABSTRACT:

The majority of anthropogenic CO2 emissions are attributable to urban areas. 
While the emissions from urban electricity generation often occur in locations 
remote from consumption, many of the other emissions occur within the city 
limits.  Evaluating the effectiveness of strategies for controlling these 
emissions depends on our ability to observe urban CO2 emissions and attribute 
them to specific activities.  Cost effective strategies for doing so have yet 
to be described.  Here we characterize the ability of a prototype measurement 
network in California's Bay Area, in combination with an inverse model, to 
improve our understanding of urban emissions.  Using our inversion framework, 
we quantify the trade-offs between precision and observational network density 
for estimating urban CO2 emissions.
