Welcome to the NATCARB Homepage!

NATCARB is a project to explore geological sequestration of carbon through linking geological and emission databases from several regional centers into a single interactive mapping system.

Highlights and New Items

The Natcarb portal has spatially-enabled the DOE brine database for use within the Natcarb site. The approximately 51,000 brine sample locations are queryable via the Natcarb portal interface. Users can identify samples and link to detailed information about what data is available (formation and chemical analysis) at that particular location. Users can also query the brine samples to find out what locations match a particular formation.
Data download added for brine data (see partner download page), password required
Creating a Distributed NATional CARBon Sequestration Database and Geographic Information System (NATCARB), paper given at Third Annual Conference on Carbon Sequestration (9 MB Acrobat PDF file)
NATCARB Progress Report (PDF, 3 MB)

NATCARB is an extension of MIDCARB, a project that linked databases from 5 state geological surveys in the Midwest. NATCARB allows each partner to retain ownership and control of their own data, while allowing visitors to explore data across partner boundaries.

This server is run by the Kansas Geological Survey for NatCarb, a project funded by the U.S. Dept. of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory.
