Purdue Scientists Create Detailed Map of Carbon Emissions

Scientists at Purdue University have created a high-resolution, interactive map tracking carbon emmissions in the U.S.

The project, called Vulcan, was supported with money from NASA and the Department of Energy, and depicts greenhouse-gas emmissions in greater detail than available before — right down to individual factories. The map is based on statistics collected from government agencies from 2002.

Below is a video showing the map in action.—Hurley Goodall
