NetCDF into ArcGIS Pro

The lesson Explore Future Climate Projections is pretty good and nicely-shows how to import and map NetCDF files (and convert to tables).

Inquiry

En-ROADS and C-ROADS

En-ROADS and C-ROADS are both climate change policy/solutions simulators - great tools for teaching and learning.

Common Online Data Analysis Platform (CODAP)

This looks great: Common Online Data Analysis Platform (CODAP): a web-based and free data exploration and analysis tool.

Using R with 7th-grade science students

Using R with 7th-grade science students does not seem like a good idea to me (based on my experience teaching undergraduates at a public 4-year college in Massachusetts), but take a look yourself.

Function over Form

Superfund Sites and Climate Change

Superfund Sites and Climate Change (from the GAO!) is just a simple interactive web map and the data are provided as an MS Excel spreadsheet.

Docker, Binder, Colaboratory, and more

If you are interested in any of these: Make code accessible with these cloud services (Nature 7 November 2019). Try Binder @ https://mybinder.org/.

Daylight = f (latitude, day of year)

Making Sense of Amazon Deforestation Patterns

Making Sense of Amazon Deforestation Patterns shows some great examples of - well - spatial patterns of deforestation in the Amazon as seen from satellite images.

Mercator, it's not hip to be square

Good stuff from Ken Field: Mercator, it's not hip to be square. Quote: "Simply put, Web Mercator kills thematic maps." Perfect example: 2019 Canadian election maps.

Humboldt, Chimborazo, and the Tableau Physique

Meanders

The Many Meanders of the Juruá (NASA) is just a beautiful satellite image of a meandering river.

Infrared Radiation

The first 15 seconds (and the rest) show a nice example of infrared vs. visible radiation (aka light).

SLR Maps

There are a bunch of web-based interactive tools to visualize the impacts of sea-level rise - here are a few of them:

• Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flood Web Tools Comparison Matrix - National (by Climate Central)
• Coastal Risk Screening Tool - Global (by Climate Central)

Python and ArcGIS Pro

Nice 4-part series about using Python in ArcGIS Pro by Olivia Iannone (Esri). Plus good courses offered by Esri:

Street Orientation

This is not all that new, but interesting: Road Orientations Map. Read more about it here: Visualizing street orientations on an interactive map. I always find these 'gridded' cities a little weird (being from Europe), especially those 'forcing' the grid over significant topography (e.g. San Francisco).
