Map of carbon emissions, just in time for Earth Day
Scientists at the Vulcan Project, have collected data to create a series of maps to illustrate CO2 emissions in the US.
The Project is funded by NASA and the Department of Energy under the North American Carbon Program (NACP). The Vulcan CO2 inventory is intended to add detail and scope to policy discussions and aid demographers and social scientists.
