Interactive Carbon Atlas

The Big Sky Partnership has geologic and terrestrial carbon sequestration projects in Montana, Wyoming, Oregon, and Washington, and efforts are underway to test several approaches to carbon sequestration. The new interactive map combines data layers from several sources to provide greater custom mapping functionality. In a single application you can explore CO2 point sources such as industrial facilities (cement plants, coal-fired electric plants, petroleum processing plants, and even sugar and paper production plants) and view carbon sinks currently under investigation. You can view sinks and sources in relation to infrastruction and geologic formations, regional demographics, energy use, and land ownership [...more]

The browser-based mapping application allows you to:

  • Navigate and explore aspects of our regional characterization data through a user-friendly interface
  • Use the info tool to search our records and view detailed information about features of interest
  • View live GeoRSS feeds and find a place or address
  • Create your own map using the navigation and table of content tools, and
  • Annotate the map with text and graphics then print your custom map.

If you are having trouble using the Interactive Maps, please view the Interactive Map FAQ page. If you need more information for a particular set of data displayed within an online map, please visit our Data Resources page. BSCSP also hosts an Interactive Mafic Atlas with data pertaining to our basalt storage project.

The Carbon Atlas interactive map was developed by using ESRI ArcGIS Server, version 10 and the Adobe Flex SDK. This software package enables organizations to use web-oriented spatial data services to produce internet-based mapping interfaces. BSCSP will continue to increase the functionality of the interactive map by developing geo-processing capabilities and updating the user interface functionality.
