Fossil Fuel Data
  • CO2 - Carbon Dioxide sources

    Data downloaded from Carbon Mapper (https://carbonmapper.org/) and includes data on plumes from 1789 carbon dioxide sources. "Our data  portal includes observations of methane and CO2 super-emitters across the globe. We detect, pinpoint and quantify emissions at a facility-scale and make this data available to the public, providing accessibility and transparency to maximize impact.We use precision visible-infrared imaging spectrometers on satellites and aircraft to locate, quantify and track methane and CO₂ point-source emissions."

  • Coal Deposits

  • Cold Water Corals Global Distribution

    This dataset shows of the global distribution of cold-water corals. Occurrence records are given for 86 Families under the subclass Octocorallia (octocorals; also known as Alcyonaria) and four Orders (in Class Anthozoa): Scleractinia (reef-forming corals), Antipatharia (black corals), Zoanthidae (encrusting or button polyps), and Pennatulacea (sea pens). Occurrence records are also available for the order sub-Order Filifera (lace corals) in Class Hydrozoa. https://data.unep-wcmc.org/datasets/3
