"Accounting" - a term than brings to mind banks, money and taxes. But when
climate change researchers like Peter Curtis talk about carbon accounting,
they're interested in providing data that illustrates the effects of climate
change and points out ways to mitigate these effects. Curtis studies the
flow of carbon into and out of Great Lakes forests, and often introduces
himself as a "carbon accountant" to those unfamiliar with his work. "Just
like an accountant would do accounting for money at a business, we're
interested in how much carbon goes in and out of a forest," he says.
