This style comprises 20 distinct hues, plus a white version, of the firefly symbol family for points, lines, and polygons.Points have two flavors of symbols. One is a standard radial opacity decay with a molten white core. The other is a variant with a shimmer effect, if that's what you need.Line symbols are available in solid or dashed. Lines are a stack of colorized semitransparent strokes beneath a white stroke, to create a glow effect.Polygons are also available in two versions. One version applies the glow to the perimeter of the polygon in both inner and outer directions, with a semi-transparent fill. This is effective for non-adjacent polygons. The alternate version only applies an inner glow, to prevent blending and overlapping of adjacent polygons.This is an early version of these symbols and only the points respond to color selection.Learn how to install this style by visiting this salacious blog post.Learn more about Firefly Cartography here.Happy Firefly Mapping!

Sometimes a basic solid color for your map's labels and text just isn't going to cut it. Here is an ArcGIS Pro style with light and dark gradient fills and shadow/glow effects that you can apply to map text via the "Text fill symbol" picker in your label pane. Level up those labels! Make them look touchable. Glassy. Shady. Intriguing.Find a how-to here.Save this style, add it to your ArcGIS Pro project, then use it for any text (including labels).**UPDATE**I've added a symbol that makes text look like is being illuminated from below, casting a shadow upwards and behind. Pretty dramatic if you ask me. Here is an example:Happy Mapping! John Nelson

You’ll be hard pressed to find a current-day national park art poster that isn’t designed in the WPA Poster aesthetic (there’s also a joyous cottage industry of parody posters that cite negative yelp reviews). Not wanting to feel left out, here are some maps made in ArcGIS Pro, echoing that design sensibility.Here are some examples using Corine Land Cover vector data:Here are the components of this style:

This style consists of two, and only two, symbols. One pin point symbol and one paper polygon symbol.But they can be dynamically colored in the symbology panel. Here's a one-minute how to.

I'd like you to make downloading, implementing, and sharing the output of, this felt-tastic style your new highest priority.So what do you get when you download this style, besides a rush of craft-induced adrenaline? These symbols...I've seeded the style with some pre-colored symbols but each and every one of these felty symbols can be dyed whatever color you want in the symbology panel. Here are some example maps using this style...Happy Mapping! John Nelson

Inspired by the book, Dirkzwager’s Guide to the New-Waterway, Rotterdam, Dordrecht, Europoort and Botlek for 1978, this style re-creates its crisp modernist colors balanced with charming hand-drawn landcover features and incorporates the tangible variability of print ink and aged paper.I was shown a wonderful example, provided by Eelco Berghuis, which was a gift from his grandfather.So I sampled colors and created fill and line symbol features with a print-like texture and bleed. When applied (admittedly pretty haphazardly) to New York City (New Amsterdam), for example, the style looks like this...And here are the style elements that comprise it...Happy Harbor Mapping!

This tool leverages SIICR (Susceptible, Infected, Infectious, Convalescing, Recovered) modeling to assist hospitals, cities, and regions with capacity planning around COVID-19 by providing estimates of daily new admissions and current inpatient hospitalizations (census), ICU admissions, and patients requiring ventilation based on the extent to which mitigation strategies such as social distancing or shelter-in-place recommendations are implemented. This tool is based on COVID-19Surge. Learn more about how COVID-19Surge works.Potential ApplicationsThe illustration above depicts the outputs of the COVID-19Surge (CDC) tool of the COVID-19 Modeling toolbox.A hospital systems administrator needs a simple model to project the number of patients the hospitals in the network will need to accommodate in the next 90 days due to COVID-19. You know the population served by each hospital, the date and level of current social distancing, the number of people who have recovered, and the number of patients that are currently hospitalized with COVID-19 in each facility. Using your hospital point layer, you run the CHIME Model v1.1.5 tool.An aid agency wants to estimate where and when resources will be required in the counties you serve. You know the population and number of COVID-19 cases today and 14 days ago in each county. You run the COVID-19Surge (CDC) tool using your county polygon data, introducing an Intervention Policy and New Infections Per Case (R0) driven by fields to account for differences in anticipated social distancing policies and effectiveness between counties.A county wants to understand how the lessening or removal of interventions may impact hospital bed availability within the county. You run the CHIME Model v1.1.5 and COVID-19Surge (CDC) tool, checking Add Additional Web App Fields in Summary in both tools. You display the published results from each tool in the Capacity Analysis configurable app so estimates can be compared between models.This toolbox requires any license of ArcGIS Pro 2.3 or higher in order to run. Steps for upgrading ArcGIS Pro can be found here.For questions, comments and support, please visit our COVID-19 GeoNet community.

This is a video demonstrating how to create an offline map in ArcGIS Pro. Steps:Start with creating a vector tile package (.vtpk) from vector data.Add the vector tile package on top of other relevant data in a basemap view. The other data can be a raster image or any of the Esri's default basemaps.Add the basemap into another map view. In this map, you can add other operational layers on top of the basemap.Create a mobile map package (.mmpk) from the multi-layered map.The mobile map package can then be shared through ArcGIS Enterprise portal or manually copied to mobile devices.Author: Irvan Salim - Solution Engineer from Esri IndonesiaCopyright © 2020 Esri Indonesia.

De Jong, Henk Pieter Sterk, Stacy Shinneman & Arie C. Seijmonsbergen. Submitted to Journal of Maps in 2020, revisions made in 2021.These layer files will produce the complete geomorphological legend, even when all geomorphological units are not present in the dataset. When visualizing results, we recommend the following optimal scale ranges: 1:2,500 - 1:10,000 for Tier 3, 1:10,001 to 1:30,000 for Tier 2 and ≥ 1:30,001 for Tier 1.The complete set of layer files ("Geomorphological Map Vorarlberg - Tier 1", "Geomorphological Map Vorarlberg - Tier 2" and "Geomorphological Map Vorarlberg - Tier 3") are intended to visualize output of a model that creates tiers (columns) of geomorphological features (Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3) in the landscape of Vorarlberg, Austria, each with an increasing level of detail.

This template is used to compute urban growth between two land cover datasets, that are classified into 20 classes based on the Anderson Level II classification system. This raster function template is used to generate a visual representation indicating urbanization across two different time periods. Typical datasets used for this template is the National Land Cover Database. A more detailed blog on the datasets can be found on ArcGIS Blogs. This template works in ArcGIS Pro Version 2.6 and higher. It's designed to work on Enterprise 10.8.1 and higher.References:Raster functionsWhen to use this raster function templateThe template is useful to generate an intuitive visualization of urbanization across two images.Sample Images to test this againstNLCD2006 and NLCD2011How to use this raster function templateIn ArcGIS Pro, search ArcGIS Living Atlas for raster function templates to apply them to your imagery layer. You can also download the raster function template, attach it to a mosaic dataset, and publish it as an image service. The output is a visual representation of urban sprawl across two images. Applicable geographiesThe template is designed to work globally.

Vegetative Difference Image gives an easy to interpret visual representation of vegetative increase/decrease across 2 time periods.This raster function template is used to generate a visual product. The results cannot be used for analysis. This templates generates an NDVI in the backend, hence it requires your imagery to have the red and near infrared bands. In the resulting image, greens indicate increase in vegetation, while the magenta indicates decrease in vegetationReferences:Raster functionsWhen to use this raster function templateThis template is particularly useful when trying to intuitively visualize the increase or decrease in vegetation over two time periods. How to use this raster function templateIn ArcGIS Pro, search ArcGIS Living Atlas for raster function templates to apply them to your imagery layer. You can also download the raster function template, attach it to a mosaic dataset, and publish it as an image service. This index supports many satellite sensors, such as Landsat-8, Sentinel-2, Quickbird, IKONOS, Geoeye-1, and Pleiades-1.Applicable geographiesThe template uses a standard vegetation which is designed to work globally.

Important Note: This item is in mature support as of February 2023 and will be retired in December 2025. A new version of this item is available for your use. Esri recommends updating your maps and apps to use the new version. This layer displays change in pixels of the Sentinel-2 10m Land Use/Land Cover product developed by Esri, Impact Observatory, and Microsoft. Available years to compare with 2021 are 2018, 2019 and 2020. By default, the layer shows all comparisons together, in effect showing what changed 2018-2021. But the layer may be changed to show one of three specific pairs of years, 2018-2021, 2019-2021, or 2020-2021.Showing just one pair of years in ArcGIS Online Map ViewerTo show just one pair of years in ArcGIS Online Map viewer, create a filter. 1. Click the filter button. 2. Next, click add expression. 3. In the expression dialogue, specify a pair of years with the ProductName attribute. Use the following example in your expression dialogue to show only places that changed between 2020 and 2021:ProductNameis2020-2021By default, places that do not change appear as a transparent symbol in ArcGIS Pro. But in ArcGIS Online Map Viewer, a transparent symbol may need to be set for these places after a filter is chosen. To do this:4. Click the styles button. 5. Under unique values click style options. 6. Click the symbol next to No Change at the bottom of the legend. 7. Click the slider next to "enable fill" to turn the symbol off.Showing just one pair of years in ArcGIS ProTo show just one pair of years in ArcGIS Pro, choose one of the layer's processing templates to single out a particular pair of years. The processing template applies a definition query that works in ArcGIS Pro. 1. To choose a processing template, right click the layer in the table of contents for ArcGIS Pro and choose properties. 2. In the dialogue that comes up, choose the tab that says processing templates. 3. On the right where it says processing template, choose the pair of years you would like to display. The processing template will stay applied for any analysis you may want to perform as well.How the change layer was created, combining LULC classes from two yearsImpact Observatory, Esri, and Microsoft used artificial intelligence to classify the world in 10 Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) classes for the years 2017-2021. Mosaics serve the following sets of change rasters in a single global layer: Change between 2018 and 2021Change between 2019 and 2021Change between 2020 and 2021To make this change layer, Esri used an arithmetic operation combining the cells from a source year and 2021 to make a change index value. ((from year * 16) + to year) In the example of the change between 2020 and 2021, the from year (2020) was multiplied by 16, then added to the to year (2021). Then the combined number is served as an index in an 8 bit unsigned mosaic with an attribute table which describes what changed or did not change in that timeframe. Variable mapped: Change in land cover between 2018, 2019, or 2020 and 2021 Data Projection: Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)Mosaic Projection: WGS84Extent: GlobalSource imagery: Sentinel-2Cell Size: 10m (0.00008983152098239751 degrees)Type: ThematicSource: Esri Inc.Publication date: January 2022What can you do with this layer?Global LULC maps provide information on conservation planning, food security, and hydrologic modeling, among other things. This dataset can be used to visualize land cover anywhere on Earth. This layer can also be used in analyses that require land cover input. For example, the Zonal Statistics tools allow a user to understand the composition of a specified area by reporting the total estimates for each of the classes. Land Cover processingThis map was produced by a deep learning model trained using over 5 billion hand-labeled Sentinel-2 pixels, sampled from over 20,000 sites distributed across all major biomes of the world. The underlying deep learning model uses 6 bands of Sentinel-2 surface reflectance data: visible blue, green, red, near infrared, and two shortwave infrared bands. To create the final map, the model is run on multiple dates of imagery throughout the year, and the outputs are composited into a final representative map. Processing platformSentinel-2 L2A/B data was accessed via Microsoft’s Planetary Computer and scaled using Microsoft Azure Batch.Class definitions1. WaterAreas where water was predominantly present throughout the year; may not cover areas with sporadic or ephemeral water; contains little to no sparse vegetation, no rock outcrop nor built up features like docks; examples: rivers, ponds, lakes, oceans, flooded salt plains.2. TreesAny significant clustering of tall (~15-m or higher) dense vegetation, typically with a closed or dense canopy; examples: wooded vegetation,
clusters of dense tall vegetation within savannas, plantations, swamp or mangroves (dense/tall vegetation with ephemeral water or canopy too thick to detect water underneath).4. Flooded vegetationAreas of any type of vegetation with obvious intermixing of water throughout a majority of the year; seasonally flooded area that is a mix of grass/shrub/trees/bare ground; examples: flooded mangroves, emergent vegetation, rice paddies and other heavily irrigated and inundated agriculture.5. CropsHuman planted/plotted cereals, grasses, and crops not at tree height; examples: corn, wheat, soy, fallow plots of structured land.7. Built AreaHuman made structures; major road and rail networks; large homogenous impervious surfaces including parking structures, office buildings and residential housing; examples: houses, dense villages / towns / cities, paved roads, asphalt.8. Bare groundAreas of rock or soil with very sparse to no vegetation for the entire year; large areas of sand and deserts with no to little vegetation; examples: exposed rock or soil, desert and sand dunes, dry salt flats/pans, dried lake beds, mines.9. Snow/IceLarge homogenous areas of permanent snow or ice, typically only in mountain areas or highest latitudes; examples: glaciers, permanent snowpack, snow fields. 10. CloudsNo land cover information due to persistent cloud cover.11. Rangeland Open areas covered in homogenous grasses with little to no taller vegetation; wild cereals and grasses with no obvious human plotting (i.e., not a plotted field); examples: natural meadows and fields with sparse to no tree cover, open savanna with few to no trees, parks/golf courses/lawns, pastures. Mix of small clusters of plants or single plants dispersed on a landscape that shows exposed soil or rock; scrub-filled clearings within dense forests that are clearly not taller than trees; examples: moderate to sparse cover of bushes, shrubs and tufts of grass, savannas with very sparse grasses, trees or other plants.CitationKarra, Kontgis, et al. “Global land use/land cover with Sentinel-2 and deep learning.” IGARSS 2021-2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium.

This web map features a vector basemap of OpenStreetMap (OSM) data created and hosted by Esri. Esri produced this vector tile basemap in ArcGIS Pro from a live replica of OSM data, hosted by Esri, and rendered using a creative cartographic style emulating a blueprint technical drawing. The vector tiles are updated every few weeks with the latest OSM data. This vector basemap is freely available for any user or developer to build into their web map or web mapping apps.OpenStreetMap (OSM) is an open collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Volunteers gather location data using GPS, local knowledge, and other free sources of information and upload it. The resulting free map can be viewed and downloaded from the OpenStreetMap site: www.OpenStreetMap.org. Esri is a supporter of the OSM project and is excited to make this new vector basemap available available to the OSM, GIS, and Developer communities.

For complete collection of data and models, see https://doi.org/10.21942/uva.c.5290546.Original model developed in 2016-17 in ArcGIS by Henk Pieter Sterk (www.rfase.org), with minor updates in 2021 by Stacy Shinneman and Henk Pieter Sterk. Model used to generate publication results:Hierarchical geomorphological mapping in mountainous areas Matheus G.G. De Jong, Henk Pieter Sterk, Stacy Shinneman & Arie C. Seijmonsbergen. Submitted to Journal of Maps 2020, revisions made in 2021.This model creates tiers (columns) of geomorphological features (Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3) in the landscape of Vorarlberg, Austria, each with an increasing level of detail. The input dataset needed to create this 'three-tier-legend' is a geomorphological map of Vorarlberg with a Tier 3 category (e.g. 1111, for glacially eroded bedrock). The model then automatically adds Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 categories based on the Tier 3 code in the 'Geomorph' field. The model replaces the input file with an updated shapefile of the geomorphology of Vorarlberg, now including three tiers of geomorphological features. Python script files and .lyr symbology files are also provided here.
