A GIS provides the ability to query, manipulate, and analyze these data.Vector Data•Points•Line•Polygons•All are scale dependentPoint data:Location of power plantsCO2 from power plantsPolygon DataChina, Population 1990AttributesMetadata describing attributesCombing Maps: Power plants in Massachusetts and PopulationBoston area power plantsMIT power plant in Google EarthData for Carbon Sequestration:Sinks and SourcesDeep Saline formations are blue, power plants are yellow dotsTransportation problemRouting piplelines from Carbon Sources to Carbon sinksCO2 sources near CambridgeNearest deep saline formationRouting from power plants to a single pipelineSingle network vs multiple pipelinesHerzog’s cost path model70 kilometer pipelineDevelopment of Terrascope model in GIS workshops•You will need to create your own cost surface (required for cost path model)–river crossings–zoning/land use restrictions–construction costsWorkshop content•Use the data presented here to determine the least cost path for routing a pipeline from Boston area CO2 sources to the nearest deep saline formation•Use Arcgis 9.3 software•Visualize your least cost path in Google EarthGIS Workshops•Scheduled for 7:30-9PM, limit of 22 people per session•Additional sessions can be scheduled–October 7–October 14–October 15–Must sign up with Seth Burgess ([email protected])–Determine construction costs before labGeologic Maps•For teams 4 and 5, you will need to know what minerals are where. Geologic data is not always available in digital form. Maps will be helpful for you. In Barton, maps are searchable.
