The ArcGIS Online US Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map collection now contains over 177,000 historical quadrangle maps dating from 1882 to 2006. The USGS Historical Topographic Map Explorer app brings these maps to life through an interface that guides users through the steps for exploring the map collection:
Finding the maps of interest is simple. Users can see a footprint of the map in the map view before they decide to add it to the display, and thumbnails of the maps are shown in pop-ups on the timeline. The timeline also helps users find maps because they can zoom and pan, and maps at select scales can be turned on or off by using the legend boxes to the left of the timeline. Once maps have been added to the display, users can reorder them by dragging them. Users can also download maps as zipped GeoTIFF images. Users can also share the current state of the app through a hyperlink or social media. This ArcWatch article guides you through each of these steps: https://www.esri.com/esri-news/arcwatch/1014/envisioning-the-past.

Based on the World Ocean Atlas' global ocean variable measurements we classified the oceanic water bodies into 37 volumetric regions, called ecological marine units. These volumetric region units can be used to support climate change impact studies, conservation priority setting, and marine spatial planning. Read more about how these regions were created in the research article A Three-Dimensional Mapping of the Ocean based on Environmental Data, which appeared in March 2017 in the Oceanography journal.This application visualizes ecological marine units using voxel scene layers. You can read more about voxel layers in the ArcGIS Pro documentation. This application was built using ArcGIS API for JavaScript (read more about web voxel layers). The original netCDF dataset can be found here. The code for the application is available on GitHub.Related work:Ecological Marine Units Explorer - a web application that visualizes the ocean as a 3D grid.Esri's website on Ecological Marine Units.
This image service provides a seamless mosaic of gridded bathymetric products derived from multibeam data collected by the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. The products were created from data collected on cruises starting in 2009 through the current field season. For access to individual cruises, please see Bathy Grids (Subsets). For daily updates providing initial versions of bathymetric products, please see Near-Real-Time Bathy Grids.The spatial resolution of the collected bathymetry can be viewed for a specific area by zooming all the way into the desired area and selecting on the layer grid. The popup will give the source filename(s) which oftentimes include the spatial resolution. If the filename contains "overview", then you have not zoomed in far enough. Note that this visualization service incorporates bathymetric data collected in various spatial resolutions and some areas may provide multiple source filenames with various resolutions. Surveys containing restricted data may or may not be included within this layer. Multibeam sonar data and products archived with NOAA National Center for Environmental Information (NCEI) are accessible through the NOAA Ocean Exploration Data Atlas, the Okeanos Explorer Data Landing Pages, and the Bathymetric Data Viewer.Data Visualization Tips:By default, the service provides a color shaded relief visualization of the depth values. Alternatively, the actual depth values in meters can be displayed by setting the processing template to "User Defined Renderer" in the ArcGIS Online layer using the "Image Display" menu, or in ArcMap under "Processing Templates: None".This service has several server-side raster functions available for data visualization. This can be selected in the ArcGIS Online layer using "Image Display", or in ArcMap under "Processing Templates".None (default): Provides depth values in meters.MultidirectionalHillshadeHaxby_8000-0: A color shaded relief visualization using Esri's "multidirectional hillshade". This is also available as a separate tiled service (faster to draw). The depths are displayed using this color ramp:MultidirectionalHillshadeHaxby_DRA: A color shaded relief visualization using Esri's "multidirectional hillshade". The color scale is automatically stretched to the min and max depth values visible in the current view (dynamic range adjustment). The depths are displayed using this color ramp.There are also similar visualizations available using different color ramps (blue, dark blue, purple-blue):Numerous bathymetric AGOL products exist for Okeanos Explorer. Please read the below descriptions to ensure proper usage:Bathy Coverage hosted feature layer provides polygons of where multibeam data were collected. This layer does not visually represent the data values.Bathy Grids imagery layer provides a seamless mosaic of gridded multibeam products. Bathy Grids (subsets) imagery layer is a slightly less optimized version of the previous layer but allows users to filter data based on Survey ID, etc. Near-Real-Time Bathy Grids imagery layer provides a seamless mosaic of provisional multibeam products delivered daily during ship operations. Data not yet archived at NCEI may also be found here prior to ingest.Bathy Grids (tiled color hillshade visualization) layer provides a more optimized data visualization that the previously listed imagery layers. This layer can be coupled with the below tiled elevation layer for 3D visualization within Esri Scenes. Bathy Grids (tiled elevation) layer provides an elevation mesh. Couple this layer with the above tiled color hillshade for 3D visualization within Esri Scenes.Please provide any feedback or questions to OER.info.mgmt@noaa.gov.
Terrestrial ecosystems can be defined by their climate, landform and land cover. The World Terrestrial Ecosystems Map identifies areas with similar terrestrial ecosystem structure.Ecosystems are distinct areas on the planet which differ based on their environmental settings and assemblages of organisms.Online explorer tool produced by the U.S Geological Survey, the World Terrestrial Ecosystems Explorer (WTEE), allows for the map-based visualization and query of any terrestrial location on Earth for its ecosystem type and characteristics.
This web application enables the exploration of Arctic elevation based on the 2m resolution Arctic Digital Elevation Models (DEM) created by the Polar Geospatial Center. The app displays multiple different renderings as well as profiles of the data. In many areas the coverage is available from multiple dates and the app displays temporal profiles as well as computing the differences. The current datasets consisting of 2m DEMs, cover the Arctic from 60*N to the Pole and will gradually, and incrementally be replaced with better 2m versions as they are produced during 2018. The elevations are digital surface models photogrammetrically generated from stereo satellite imagery and have not been edited to create terrain heights. The current datasets are preliminary and are known to contain some errors and artifacts. As more control becomes available, the elevation values will be refined and adjusted. The original PGC datasets have been adjusted according to the PGC proposed correction parameters, to give WGS84 ellipsoidal heights, but available in this service also as orthometric heights computed using the EGM2008 geoid separation. Details on how the DEMs are generated and their use can be found in ArcticDEM datasets. The DEMs were created from DigitalGlobe, Inc., imagery and funded under National Science Foundation awards 1043681, 1559691, and 1542736.
The app also provides access to the Arctic Landsat imagery that is updated daily and also served through ArcGIS Online.
Quick access to server functions defined for the following elevation derivatives are provided:
The Time tool enables access to a temporal time slider and temporal profile for a selected point. The Time tool is only accessible at larger zoom scales. The Identify tool enables access to elevation, slope and aspect values for the specified point as well as information on the source image and links to download the source data. From the app it is also possible to export defined areas of the DEMs. These can be exported in user defined projections and resolutions. The Bookmark tool link to pre-selected interesting locations.
For more information on the underlying services see Arctic DEM layer.

This web map contains the same layers as the Terrain with Labels basemap that is available in the basemap gallery of the ArcGIS.com map viewer, ArcGIS Explorer Online, ArcGIS Explorer Desktop, and the mobile clients. You'll also find this map in the Basemap gallery in ArcGIS Desktop 10. The Terrain with Labels basemap is designed to be used to overlay and emphasize other thematic map layers. This basemap features shaded relief imagery, bathymetry, and coastal water features designed to provide a neutral background for other map layers, such as protected areas or ecosystems. The basemap includes two map layers, the World Terrain Base and World Reference Overlay map services, so that you can display your map layers above the terrain base layer but beneath reference layer.
Officers from the Environment Agency identify the main reasons why a water body is failing to achieve good or high status under the Water Framework Directive. This is a useful expert opinion and helps us to identify the likely issues affecting water quality across the catchment, so that we can target more effective interventions that will help a failing water body to reach healthy status.This data supports and builds upon the data in the river basin management plans. River basin management plans (RBMPs) set out how organisations, stakeholders and communities will work together to improve the water environment.This data was extracted from the Catchment Data Explorer in July 2018 and re-published by The Rivers Trust in ArcGIS online. The data have been enriched with CaBA catchment identifiers for filtering and analysis. Further information is available at environment.data.gov.uk.
