GISLab I. The Vision integration of all elements of carbon science (theory, data, experiments, and models) and decision support (analysis and visualization) Monitoring, Measurement, & Assessment Analytical Chemistry Remote Sensing / GIS Novel Concepts Materials Sciences; Theory Systems Engineering Separations Sciences Materials Sciences clathrates novel membranes Science-Based Prediction for Engineered Geologic Systems Repository Science for CO 2 Sequestration

GISLab II. Foundational Concepts

GISLab Spatial Data Engine Web Server Map Server Data Warehouse Field Worker Public Analyst Model Warehouse Decision Maker Knowledge Base Field Measurement Sensor Network Remote Sensing Carbon Cyberinfrastructure Enterprise GIS as the "glue" Process Models System Dynamics Models Experiments MMV

GISLab Cyberinfrastructure integrated computing environment that provides access to carbon science information, models, problem solving capabilities, and communication Elements: knowledge base (digital libraries) links to measurement, monitoring, and verification (MMV) links to process models (data/model integration, model coupling) links to higher-level integrative models (system dynamics) links to decision support (analysis, visualization..)

GISLab III. Cyberinfrastructure Design

GISLab Knowledge Base Data Warehouse Model Warehouse System Dynamics Process Models Access and Decision Support Data Access Data/model integration Map-based analysis and visualization Integrated system behavior Quick analysis Measurement, Monitoring, & Verification (MMV) Remote sensing Sensor arrays / networks Ground truth Physical models Operations models Scenario analysis National Carbon Atlas MMV library Model component archive (inputs, parameters…) Scenario library digital libraries that link elements of carbon science and decision support

GISLab Knowledge Base "Universal Translator", "Faithful Scribe", "Friendly Traffic Controller" data warehouse provides access to shared data (National Carbon Atlas, MMV libraries...) model warehouse provides access to model components (inputs, parameters...) and results (scenario libraries...) "loose coupling" of all elements, including MMV, process models, system dynamics models, and decision support (analysis and visualization)

GISLab Decision Support: SACROC Project ZERT Knowledge Base System Models Experiments Decision Tools Stochastic analysis of leakage MMV CO 2 Leakage SACROC library Borehole scenario library Borehole Integrity Modeling and CO 2 Migration Mineralogy Cement degradation Cement reaction Process Models FLOTRANFEHM CO 2 transport GoldSim VenSim Economic analysis Risk assessment ZERT = Zero Emissions Research and Technology Analysis Visualization

GISLab IV. National Cyberinfrastructure

GISLab GIS-based carbon sequestration atlas of sources and potential sinks (terrestrial and geologic) decision support tools also MMV technologies, capture technology, permitting guidelines, and outreach and education Regional Partnerships Regional characterization of carbon sequestration potential

GISLab NatCarb geoportal to national carbon atlas web-based access to distributed map services, including carbon sequestration data and tools based in ArcIMS™, with access using ArcSDE™ queries across distributed database of regional partnerships geographic information services (GIServices) include online tools for visualization and analysis (map viewer, pipeline cost estimation, emission estimates, sequestration estimates...)

GISLab NatCarb Design NatCarb coordinates client requests for data from regional partnership servers and returns integrated map images Client Request National ArcIMS RDBMS Metadata for Partnerships Regional ArcIMS RDBMS Regional ArcIMS Shapefiles Regional OpenGIS DBF Shapefiles NatCarb

GISLab V. The Path Forward expand initial web-based data access and GIServices (NatCarb...) to build a complete national cyberinfrastructure that integrates all elements of carbon science and decision support formulate national carbon cyberinfrastructure plan with input from diverse stakeholders (academicians, government agencies, public...) and based on sound design (complete geospatial data cycle, enterprise GIS...) complete national carbon atlas of sources, sinks, infrastructure... incorporate model warehousing of model components and results further develop knowledge base links for "loose coupling" among MMV, data, models, decision tools... further develop decision support tools for analysis and visualization by diverse stakeholders (scientists, decision makers, public...) ensure coordination of national efforts (Geospatial One-stop, National Map, North America Carbon Program, DOE Regional Partnerships, NatCarb...)

GISLab Conclusion carbon cyberinfrastructure key to success of national carbon sequestration efforts neglect increases risk of lost data, wasted resources and time, and high future cost to "retrofit", "backfill", and "salvage" participation by scientific community (new paradigm) benefits include access to reliable data and models, better integration, more effective science and engineering, and enhanced decision-making knowledge base serves as the centerpiece that permits "loose coupling" of all elements of carbon science and decision support need to formulate a visionary national carbon cyberinfrastructure plan based on sound design principles
