Scientist release high-resolution map of carbon footprint


I stumbled across this while 'working' this morning. It is part of the Vulcan Project funded by NASA and the DOE. This project is attempting to quantify the use of fossil fuels and carbon emissions. If you look at the link you'll see it is hosted at Purdue.


The resolution of the map seems to be 100 square kilometers. The link is from wired.com and has a good article on the project. Possible the most interesting part is the Shell Energy add at the bottom of the page.
