Description:

Abstract:

This dataset shows the spatial extent of the major basaltic provinces of the Pacific Northwest and within the Big Sky Carbon Sequestration Partnership's area of interest. It includes the extensive Columbia River Basalt Plateau as well as the Snake River Plain basalts and the High Lava Plains of Oregon. This dataset was created as a geologic framework data layer for use in BSCSP's Big Sky Carbon Atlas (www.bigskyco2.org) to compare the location and proximity of large basaltic bodies, which are potential sinks for greenhouse gases, to the locations of industrial greenhouse gas-emitting facilities within the Big Sky partnership.

Access_Constraints:

United States government agencies working towards the common goal of the deployment of CCS technologies may contact BSCSP to get more information regarding data transfer. All other parties must contact BSCSP to discuss instructions on gaining partnership status.

Use_Constraints:

This data is updated irregularly. This data should only be used to show the location and magnitude of stationary CO2 point sources. This data should not be modified in any way.
