Esri Partners with Waze Connected Citizens Program to Deliver Unprecedented Open Data-Sharing Option Global smart-mapping leader Esri today announced a new partnership with Waze, the free, crowdsourced traffic and navigation app that makes it easier for governments of every size, anywhere in the world, to begin building intelligent transportation systems in their communities. Governments already using the Esri ArcGIS platform can quickly and easily exchange data through the Waze Connected Citizens Program, a free, two-way data share of publicly available traffic information. Waze has set the gold standard on how to share and harness the power of anonymous, aggregated data to promote greater transportation efficiency, deeper insight into travel conditions, and safer roads. Esri is the industry leader in geospatial analytics, empowering more than 350,000 organizations in making location-based decisions. In 2014, Waze pioneered data standards for road closure and incident reporting, which are embedded within customized data feeds provided to each partner.

Esri Launches National Green Infrastructure Initiative for Planning Esri, the world leader in geographic information system (GIS) technology, has launched a suite of public mapping tools and data to help communities protect the places and natural resources that help people, wildlife, and the economy thrive. Leading the Green Infrastructure for the U.S. initiative, Esri has partnered with National Geographic Society to transform how U.S. communities plan development. By equipping local, regional, and urban municipalities with data and GIS tools, Esri president Jack Dangermond envisions communities working together to build a green infrastructure—a strategically managed network of open spaces, watersheds, wildlife habitats, parks and other areas that deliver vital services and enrich quality of life. With Esri’s green infrastructure planning tools, communities can identify, protect, and connect local places of natural and cultural significance before development occurs.

OpenStax CNX Resources - LearningSpace - The Open University OpenLearn’s LabSpace makes many different open educational resources (OER) available to you from a wider OER community associated with The Open University. You are encouraged to take away, re-use and remix these open educational resources to suit your needs as an educator. Broadly speaking, LabSpace resources fall into the categories of ‘content’ or ‘tools’. Content, depending on its origin and the intended audience can be published in the Resources section or in one of three places depending on who you are: IndieSpace, ProjectSpace and SectorSpace. This section provides a brief introduction to the type and format of LabSpace content and tools. Type of content Content within LabSpace can be an entire study unit or course (i.e. a set of structured educational resources ready to use), or individual ‘assets’ which can be used to make up a study unit. Study Units LabSpace is a developing and expanding resource, so the variety of the study units available can and does change over time. Tools
The digital journalist’s toolbox: mapping Engaging and interactive journalism is still possible even without an extensive knowledge of coding. But how? We’ve taken the guesswork out, scouring the internet to find the most accessible tools to create multimedia content. Below, you’ll find a collection of completely free applications that will do all the work for you — no coding required: Google My Maps: This tool is probably the most familiar, simply because it mimics maps seen on a phone’s GPS. With My Maps, you can create your own customizable Google map with pins, layers, text and photos. Story Maps: This platform allows users to incorporate audio into their maps in addition to normal features such as images and video. Story Map Cascade: Unlike similar tools, this tool creates a sliding vertical story map instead of a horizontal one. Open Heat Map: Heat maps assign colors to numbers, coloring different parts of a map based on data. Google Crisis Map: This tool works well when covering an ongoing crisis.

Using GIS to Form Resilient Public Health Plans As Negative Health Effects from Climate Change Grow, Sophisticated Technology Will Guide Preparation By Alex Philp, PhD, Upstream Research, Inc. The earth's climate is changing, and this will have a tremendous impact on human health. But the relationship between climate change and health is complex. Ongoing climate change observations and associated prediction models show clear evidence that significant portions of the American population are experiencing various health-related repercussions. Gaining a better understanding of the interconnections between climate change and human health requires substantial investment in scientific monitoring, risk mitigation, and devising resiliency strategies. How Climate Change Affects Health General scientific consensus clusters most of the effects from climate change into four major categories: For each of these major climate change categories, a number of specific health effects are already being observed across large tracts of the United States.
