Now being added at no extra cost to University Institutional Agreements: ArcGIS Drone2Map Standard, ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Knowledge, and ArcGIS Workflow Manager Server - Advanced.
Very sad news: the GIScience world lost another giant. He was my PhD advisor and a good friend of our family. RIP David. david mark buffalo - Google Search
Message from the GIS community to high school students: take Geometry class seriously! It does have practical applications for solving important problems. (Oh, and start programming....)
Thanks (Shukran) to UAE University for hosting me and my colleague Kiran. Faculty and students (mostly female) had some good questions regarding modern GIS and geodata.
End of an era: Charlie Fitzpatrick who started Esri's schools program 30 years ago...is retiring. That's him on the right, not wearing his Lake Wobegon hat for some reason. Thanks for developing capacity in a whole generation of educators.
Breaking: new angle surfaced of Purdue star Zach Edey out on the bar scene in Chicago during the teams layover… Gotta give the man credit as he’s posted up with an absolute rocket, even in the bucket hat

Next week I'll be talking about this climate and agriculture (predicting crop yield) example by my colleagues. This is basically a masters thesis, done in a few days (when you know where to find data and which methods to use).
Oh my, GIS students: I was just made aware of a new $100 registration fee for attending the entire Esri User Conference in San Diego. Not a better bang for your career-buck.
Learn simple GIS workflows for identifying and analyzing urban extreme heat with Michael Gould and Joseph Kerski!

followers: hands up if you finished Exercise 1. ✋If so, you are up and running in ArcGIS Pro and you studied time-aware geodata of deforestation in Rondônia. Now in Ex2: quantifying that change.
did you know.. that to drive from Spain into Gibraltar you need to cross the airport's live runway? they lower barriers when a plane is landing/taking off :)
The Institute for Geoinformatics (ifgi), University of Münster, is searching to fill the position of Professorship (W2) in
Geoinformatics for sustainable development. Application deadline Sept 30.
Each year Jack gives awards to Esri offices for certain categories and the 2022 Education Excellence award went to Esri Portugal, meaning our colleague
@ESRui
Parabéns!

I remember once a college-age backpacker kid with white Rasta hair went ahead of me and the agent asked if he was traveling for business. The kid paused, but didn’t fall for it.
So, my mom was operated on yesterday for breast cancer. (She did super.) Sister last year (she had it tougher). Wife 12 yrs ago. Future is cloudy for our 2 daughters.

2019 was another fascinating year as my Esri work took me to meet education officials, professors, students in India, Wash DC, Philippines, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Portugal, Mauritius, South Africa, Rwanda, Finland. So many great GIS people out there.
OpenStreetMap has nearly 21 million individual trees mapped all throughout the world, but that data is highly localized and unevenly mapped.
I was curious to see which countries have mapped more trees than we might expect, so decided to try comparing trees to area.
Looking back on 2022, I was fortunate to have worked with
@esri
customers and colleagues from countries including Ghana, Chile, Lithuania, Israel, Sweden, Oman, Australia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Morocco, Japan, Argentina, Netherlands, ...🥰
Virtual graduation ceremony and activities, ErasmusMundus Master in GeoSpatial Technologies. Congratulations to the grads. You are all stretched out now ;)
Today's the day!! The launch of Esri's free Climate Action MOOC. Even if you don't plan to do all the lessons you should register to watch the inspirational videos. In week 1, a conversation between rockstars and Drs Katharine Hayhoe and Dawn Wright.
Visit the Living Atlas to discover Landsat Level 2 data, then in Map Viewer zoom to location and use the Surface Temp processing template. Also filter by acquisition date, cloud cover.
