SOSRA StoryMap

This section describes the data and analyses used by the Southeastern Offshore Storage Resource Assessment (SOSRA) to identify candidate reservoirs and reservoir seals for carbon sequestration off the Southeastern Continental Shelf.
StoryMap designed and compiled by Robby Morrow.

CO2 Production

Explore interactive mapping applications of carbon emissions data for the United States, divided by economic sector and region. Compare individual states to one another and the overall nation, focusing on how infrastructure, economic activities, and current carbon pricing initiatives in each state reflect on their carbon emissions.
StoryMap designed and compiled by Kate Moore.

CO2 storage

Examine the potential extent of applied geologic storage as a solution towards removing Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere. Details the containment requirements of a geologic formation, and reviews current CCS projects internationally in Norway, Iceland, Canada, and Japan.
StoryMap designed and compiled by Alec Stover.

CO2 capture

Learn about the history and development of pre-, post-, and oxy-combustion methods of capture technology used to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and how they have been improved for modern use. Understand the drawbacks and limitations of the processes, as well as economic potential to sell and trade carbon dioxide.
StoryMap designed and compiled by Kyle Gawinski.

Intro to Climate Change

Learn about carbon dioxide’s role in the Greenhouse Effect and overall processes of climate change. Understand the symptoms which result from warming temperatures, and compare and contrast natural and man-made (anthropogenic) causes of climate change. Explore the techniques by which climatologists model warming and cooling cycles from the past.
