1 SHARON WHITMOYER WALTMAN 1 KURT DONALDSON, MANEESH SHARMA, FRANK LAFONE 2 JAMES THOMPSON 3 1 USDA-NRCS, 2 WV GIS TECHNICAL CENTER, 3 WVU MORGANTOWN, WV OCTOBER 6, 2015 USDA-GLOBAL CHANGE TASK FORCE MEETING 1 USDA CarbonScapes www.carbonscapes.org CESU #68-7482-13-511 www.carbonscapes.org sharon.waltman@usda.gov

2 BROAD GOALS 2 USDA CarbonScapes www.carbonscapes.org CESU #68-7482-13-511 www.carbonscapes.org 1.BRING USDA SCIENTISTS AND MODELS TOGETHER WITH READY ACCESS TO NATIONAL DIGITAL MAP LAYERS 2.IMPROVE ASSESSMENTS OF SOIL/PLANT CARBON SEQUESTRATION TO ESTIMATE THE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION OFFSET POTENTIAL FROM AGRICULTURAL LANDS THROUGH MODELING SCENARIOS 3.USE GEOPLATFORM PRINCIPLES (OMB FEDERAL GEOGRAPHIC DATA COMMITTEE HTTP://WWW.GEOPLATFORM.GOV ) FOR EFFICIENT USE/MANAGEMENT OF FEDERAL GEOGRAPHIC OR MAPPED DATAHTTP://WWW.GEOPLATFORM.GOV

3 SPECIFIC GOALS 3 USDA CarbonScapes www.carbonscapes.org CESU #68-7482-13-511 www.carbonscapes.org PROVIDE A USEFUL AND EASY TO NAVIGATE WEB MAP APPLICATION TO EDUCATE AND ANSWER QUESTIONS FOR STAKEHOLDERS ABOUT USDA INVENTORY, MODELING, AND MAPPING OF TERRESTRIAL BIOSPHERE CARBON ACROSS THE LANDSCAPE. ANSWER QUESTIONS LIKE: 1. HOW MANY MILLION METRIC TONS (MMT) OF SOIL CARBON OR CO2-EQUIVALENTS ARE IN THE UPPER METER OF SOIL IN YOUR HOME COUNTY? 2. WHAT IS THE CO2-EQUIVALENT PER HECTARE OR PER ACRE FOR THE C STOCK IN THE UPPER METER OF SOIL IN YOUR HOME WATERSHED (8- DIGIT OR 12-DIGIT HUC)? 3.HOW MANY MMT OF SOIL CARBON ARE IN THE UPPER METER OF SOIL IN YOUR FAVORITE MAJOR LAND RESOURCE AREA (MLRA)? 4.HOW MANY ACRES OF FOREST WOULD IT TAKE IN ONE YEAR TO SEQUESTER THE MASS OF C IN THE UPPER METER OF SOIL IN MLRA 103 (DES MOINES LOBE)?

4 SOME HISTORY - CRITIGEN CARBON DATA VISUALIZATION TOOL (CDVT) (2010-2012) 4 USDA CarbonScapes www.carbonscapes.org CESU #68-7482-13-511 www.carbonscapes.org DEFICIENCIES Too complex Not easy to use Need GIS skills to decipher interface No simple reporting tool No data download capability DECISION Seek University Cooperator to provide desired User Interface Enhancements to CDVT WVU CESU 68-7482-13-511 (2013-2015) COST Extension 8/2016
