The Carbon Cycle Science Program (CSSP) is a community-focused program with a research portfolio that encompasses carbon and pertinent biogeochemical cycles across land, water, air and society. Over the last three decades, the CCSP has led community input from the carbon cycle community and captured them in two seminal Carbon Cycle Science Plans (1999, 2011). The Third Decadal Carbon Cycle Science Plan is underway; a team of 25 authors has worked to compile community-identified challenges and priorities for the next decade (~2026-2035) and created a plan ready for feedback from the scientific and applications community. The Third Decadal Carbon Cycle Science Plan builds upon the two previous plans and aims to increase connection and engagement between researchers, federal agencies, state and local government partners, academic institutions, industry-members, and stakeholder communities. This Town Hall, hosted by the lead authors of the Third Decadal Carbon Cycle Science Plan, presents the scope and strategy of the plan, discusses community-identified priorities, and solicits feedback on any potentially overlooked strategic planning needs. This Town Hall will provide a late-stage opportunity for the community to provide inputs on the breadth and direction of carbon cycle science research that should be pursued over the next decade.
