Data in Brief
|January 10, 2022
Summary
The Carbon Ore Resources Database (CORD) offers 399 open-source data files on U.S. carbon ore, including coal. This database supports analytical needs for carbon ore resource utilization.
Area of Science:
- Earth Sciences
- Geology
- Data Science
Background:
- The United States possesses significant domestic coal resources.
- Data on carbon ore resources are often fragmented across various entities.
- A centralized, accessible data repository is needed for resource analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compile and organize a comprehensive dataset of U.S. carbon ore resources.
- To facilitate data-driven analysis for carbon ore utilization.
- To develop an interactive platform for querying and visualizing resource data.
Main Methods:
- Collected 399 data files from 18 national, state, and university sources.
- Categorized datasets into Geochemistry, Geology, Infrastructure, and Samples.
- Developed the CORD Platform, an ArcGIS Online dashboard for data interaction.
- Analyzed geospatial datasets using record and dataset density per grid cell.
Main Results:
- Established the Carbon Ore Resources Database (CORD) with 399 diverse data files.
- Integrated spatial and non-spatial data focusing on domestic coal resources.
- Created a functional ArcGIS Online dashboard (CORD Platform) for user queries.
- Quantified data distribution through geospatial density analysis.
Conclusions:
- CORD provides a unified, accessible resource for carbon ore data.
- The CORD Platform enhances user interaction and data exploration.
- This database supports informed decision-making for carbon ore resource management and utilization.

01:14The Carbon Cycle
40.9K
Carbon is the basis of all organic matter on Earth, and is recycled through the ecosystem in two primary processes: one in which carbon is exchanged among living organisms, and one in which carbon is cycled over long periods of time through fossilized organic remains, weathering of rocks, and volcanic activity. Human activities, including increased agricultural practices and the burning of fossil fuels, has greatly affected the balance of the natural carbon cycle.

2.7K
Carbon dioxide (CO2) transport in the blood is critical to human physiology. On average, our body cells produce around 200 mL of CO2 per minute, precisely the quantity expelled by the lungs. This process involves the transportation of CO2 from the tissue cells to the lungs in three primary forms.
Forms of CO2 Transport
1. Dissolved in plasma: A small percentage (7-10%) of CO2 is transported and dissolved directly in the plasma.
2. Carbaminohemoglobin: Just over 20% of CO2 is chemically bound to...

6.2K
Carbon-13 is a naturally occurring NMR-active isotope of carbon with a low natural abundance of 1.1%. In contrast, carbon-12 is the most abundant isotope of carbon with zero nuclear spin. Therefore, it is NMR inactive. The gyromagnetic ratio of carbon-13 is smaller than that of protons. As a result, carbon-13 resonance is about 6000 times weaker than proton resonance. For a given magnetic field strength, the resonance frequency of carbon-13 is about one-fourth of the resonance frequency for...

Minerals are essential nutrients that the human body needs in small amounts to work properly. They play a vital role in many bodily functions, such as building strong bones and transmitting nerve impulses. Some minerals are needed for hormone production or to maintain a normal heartbeat. Major minerals include calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium, while trace minerals include iron, manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride, and selenium.

111.2K
Life on Earth is carbon-based, as all macromolecules that make up living organisms contain carbon atoms. All organic compounds have a carbon backbone. Each carbon atom is tetravalent and can bond with four other atoms, making it an extraordinarily flexible component of biological molecules. Because carbon’s valence electrons are stable, it rarely becomes an ion. As the carbon chain increases in length, structural modifications such as ring structures, double bonds, and branching side...
