- Abstract:
-
The National Coal Resources Data System (NCRDS) is a national coal database containing stratigraphic records from cores and field observations. Data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and cooperating State geological survey agencies. This dataset represents the publicly available stratigraphic data in the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI) area as of June, 2010, and contains about 50 parameters describing the point location, data source, and coal information such as formation and bed name, thickness, top and bottom depths, and lithology. NCRDS data were developed to provide a large, comprehensive and publicly available digital coal database to be used in the estimation of coal resources in the U.S.
- Purpose:
-
The USGS has compiled Part A of the Energy Map of Southwestern Wyoming for the WLCI. The WLCI represents the USGS partnership with other Department of the Interior bureaus, State and local agencies, industry, academia, and private landowners committed to maintaining healthy landscapes, sustaining wildlife, and preserving recreational and grazing uses while developing energy resources in southwestern Wyoming. This product complements the 2009 USGS publication on oil and gas development in southwestern Wyoming (<https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/437/>), by adding current coal (including coalbed methane) and wind energy development in the area encompassing the WLCI. Part A of the Energy Map is concerned primarily with the electrical power sources, coal and wind. Energy maps, data, documentation and spatial data processing capabilities are available on CD-ROM and can be downloaded at the USGS Energy Program website. These data represent decades of research by the USGS, Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) and others, and will facilitate a landscape level approach to integrated science assessments, science based resource management and science based decision making.

-
- Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
-
This data set contains publicly available point locations and detailed locational and stratigraphic information collected from each point of observation, such as elevation, coal bed and formation names, depth and thickness, lithology, and other physical characteristics. The stratigraphic information collected are stored in a geodatabase table (NCRDS_Stratigraphy) in the WLCI_Energy file geodatabase. Within the CoalWindMap.mxd, a relationship has been setup between the data point locations and the stratigraphic data.
