Carbon Data Visualization Tool Prototype

Description and DemonstrationOctober 2, 2012

Project Purpose

• Integrate carbon-related data from various USDA agencies

• Provide means of visualizing data• Provide analysis tools• Improved communication improved science

USDA Team

• Carolyn Olson – lead• Multiple agencies; primarily USFS, NRCS, NASS,

and ARS

Demonstration

• Model Information: What carbon models are in use by the USDA?

• Data Inspection: What are current/modeled carbon stocks?

• Data Comparison: How do data/model alternatives compare to one-another?
