GISLab
A Vision for Carbon Cyberinfrastructure
Paul M. Rich, Gordon N. Keating, Thomas L. Riggs, Marc S. Witkowski
• GIS-based carbon sequestration atlas of sources and potential sinks (terrestrial and geologic)
• decision support tools
• also MMV technologies, capture technology, permitting guidelines, and outreach and education
Regional PartnershipsRegional characterization of carbon sequestration potential
GISLab
NatCarbgeoportal to national carbon atlas
• web-based access to distributed map services, including carbon sequestration data and tools
• based in ArcIMS™, with access using ArcSDE™
• queries across distributed database of regional partnerships
• geographic information services (GIServices) include online tools for visualization and analysis (map viewer, pipeline cost estimation, emission estimates, sequestration estimates...)
GISLab
NatCarb DesignNatCarb coordinates client requests for data from regional
partnership servers and returns integrated map images

V. The Path Forwardexpand initial web-based data access and GIServices (NatCarb...)
to build a complete national cyberinfrastructurethat integrates all elements of carbon science and decision support
• formulate national carbon cyberinfrastructure plan with input from diverse stakeholders (academicians, government agencies, public...) and based on sound design (complete geospatial data cycle, enterprise GIS...)
• complete national carbon atlas of sources, sinks, infrastructure...
• incorporate model warehousing of model components and results
• further develop knowledge base links for "loose coupling" among MMV, data, models, decision tools...
• further develop decision support tools for analysis and visualization by diverse stakeholders (scientists, decision makers, public...)
• ensure coordination of national efforts (Geospatial One-stop, National Map, North America Carbon Program, DOE Regional Partnerships, NatCarb...)
GISLab
Conclusion• carbon cyberinfrastructure key to success of national
carbon sequestration efforts
• neglect increases risk of lost data, wasted resources and time, and high future cost to "retrofit", "backfill", and "salvage"
• participation by scientific community (new paradigm)
• benefits include access to reliable data and models, better integration, more effective science and engineering, and enhanced decision-making
• knowledge base serves as the centerpiece that permits "loose coupling" of all elements of carbon science and decision support
• need to formulate a visionary national carbon cyberinfrastructure plan based on sound design principles

Discussion
What are my carbon cyberinfrastructure needs?
data access, GIServices...
What is my responsibility in helping to build carbon cyberinfrastructure?
