This research study considers one such urban technology, namely utilising digital twins in cities. Digital twin city (DTC) technology is investigated to identify the gap in soft infrastructure data inclusion in DTC development. Soft infrastructure data considers the social and economic systems of a city, which leads to the identification of socio-economic security (SES) as the metric of investigation. The study also investigated how GIS mapping of the SES system in the specific context of Hatfield informs a soft infrastructure understanding that contributes to DTC readiness. This research study collected desk-researched secondary data and field-researched primary data in GIS using ArcGIS PRO and the Esri Online Platform using ArcGIS software. To form conclusions, grounded theory qualitative analysis and descriptive statistics analysis of the spatial GIS data schema data sets were performed.

This project maps the conversion from mid-20th century flood (and sprinkler irrigation) to sprinkler irrigation (center-pivot and other sprinkler), and other land types (fallow, crop, and flood remaining flood) in Montana, by 2019. This file contains results of mapping the conversion from mid-20th century flood (and sprinkler irrigation) to sprinkler irrigation (center-pivot and other sprinkler), and other land types (to cropland—C, hayland--H, fallow –FA, and sprinkler remaining sprinkler) in Montana, by 2019.Over the past 50 years, many producers in Montana have made changes to their irrigation practice and infrastructure in an effort to increase irrigation efficiency, defined as the ratio of water consumed by crops to water diverted or pumped (consumed water ÷ diverted water). Changes in the method of irrigation, especially conversion from flood to sprinkler irrigation, may have significant on-farm benefits such as reduced labor and increased production. Conversion can have both beneficial and adverse impacts on streamflow and aquatic ecosystems depending on local site-specific hydrogeologic conditions and how irrigation water is managed. As part of the Montana Water Center’s effort to better understand the effects of increased irrigation efficiency in Montana (Lonsdale et al. 2020), historic conversion from flood to sprinkler irrigation was analyzed using available agricultural statistics, maps from state and federal sources, and an independent Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis. This project presents the GIS analysis and maps the amount and spatial distribution of conversion from flood to sprinkler irrigation, between the mid-20th century and 2019. Historic mid-20th century irrigation was mapped in detail from 1943-1965 by the State Engineer’s Office and from 1966-1971 by the Montana Water Resources Board—the predecessor of the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC). A scanned and georeferenced version of the Water Resources Surveys (WRS) was compared with maps of contemporary irrigated land (Montana Department of Revenue’s 2019 Final Land Unit Classification—DORFLU2019) to estimate the area of land converted from flood to sprinkler irrigation. Prior to GIS analysis, both datasets were edited to ensure valid comparison between irrigated field mapping conducted at the two points in time. To estimate the amount of conversion from flood to sprinkler irrigation, and other uses, the GIS layers (WRS flood and sprinkler 1946-1971 and DOR-FLU 2019) were overlain in ArcGIS; then the clipping erase functions were used to select the WRS flood and sprinkler parcels that were shown as sprinkler irrigated in 2019. Additional conversion classes were also mapped that represent the changes from WRS flood and sprinkler to cropland, hayland and fallow, and WRS sprinkler remaining sprinkler.

This space-time cube contains basic population and housing variables for Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs), annually from 2010 to 2023. The variables are from the American Community Survey (ACS) 1-year estimates.A space-time cube is a powerful data structure used to visualize and analyze spatio-temporal data in ArcGIS Pro. Some examples of what you can do with this space-time cube: Create a compelling three-dimensional visualization of homeownership rate through timeFind emerging hot spots of specific race or Hispanic origin groupsIdentify change points of vacant housing unitsForecast future population valuesTo access this space-time cube, click Download, then unzip the downloaded folder. The folder contains a space-time cube (.nc), a file geodatabase (.gdb) containing the PUMA boundaries, and a csv file (.csv) describing the ACS variables in the space-time cube.To view a short tutorial on getting started with this space-time cube, read this blog article. To learn more about how to create and work with space-time cubes in ArcGIS Pro, view the learning path.placeholderSpace Time Cube ContentsSpatial unit and extent: 2020 vintage Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMA) boundaries for the entire United States, Puerto Rico, and Guam. Downloaded from US Census TIGER geodatabases National Sub-State Geography Database, with water and coastlines erased using 2023 500k TIGER Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles. Temporal interval and extent: one year interval, between 2010 and 2023 .Data source: ACS 1-year estimates downloaded from data.census.gov for each year between 2010 and 2023 (except 2020). Table(s) B01001, B03002, B05003, B05011, B19049, B25002, B25003, B25058, B25077.Variables: includes 32 variables on the following themes: population, race and Hispanic origin, foreign-born, housing occupancy, and housing tenure. To view a full listing of the variables, consult the .csv file contained within the downloaded folder.Processing Notes and Usage Tips The space-time cube contains variables that are directly sources from ACS, plus variables that have been calculated using ACS variables. The calculated variables can be identified by the “_calc_” stub in the field name. The spreadsheet contained within the downloaded folder provides more information on each variable source and calculation. It also contains field aliases, which can optionally be used to add aliases to the space-time cube layer or any other feature classes which are derived from the space-time cube (see blog article for information on how to do this). The field aliases were created based on the Table Shells file available from the American Community Survey Summary File Documentation page. The ACS did not publish 1 year estimates for 2020. The variable values for this year were imputed using the temporal trend method of the Create Space Time Cube from Defined Locations tool, which uses the Interpolated Univariate Spline method from the SciPy Interpolation package. This can introduce some unexpected artifacts in the values for this year, for example: count statistics may include decimal places or may become negative, and variables that should sum together to reach the total of another variable may not. Therefore it is advised to take caution when making any conclusions from analysis which are focused around this year. The PUMA boundaries change after each decennial census. For the time series of this space-time cube, there was a boundary change between 2011 and 2012 (from the 2000 census to 2010), and another between 2021 and 2022 (from the 2010 census to 2020). Therefore, apportionment was required for all years between 2010 and 2021 to be able to accurately create a time series based on the 2020 PUMA geographies. A weighted apportionment approach was used, applying either population or housing weights depending on the variable. Apportionment enables us to create longer time-series or time-series which are more current, however it also adds an additional source of error to the ACS estimates. A version of this space-time cube without apportionment, for 2012 to 2021, is provided at LINK TO OTHER CUBE. ACS update the population controls after every decennial census, which can sometimes cause slight shifts in values. For this space-time cube, these happened between from 2011 and 2012, and 2021 and 2022. Therefore it is advised to take caution when making any conclusions from analysis which are focused around these years. A version of this space-time cube without these effects, for 2012 to 2021, is provided at LINK TO OTHER CUBE. In order to have access to the latest functionality, it is recommended to use the most recent version of ArcGIS Pro to work with the space-time cube. In particular, in ArcGIS Pro 3.5, significant enhancements were made to space-time cube visualization workflows. Native space-time cube analysis and visualization is not currently supported in ArcGIS Online. However once visualization or analysis has taken place in ArcGIS Pro, the resulting space-time cube layer can be published as a Web Scene, which can be visualized in Scene Viewer.ACS InformationInformation about the United States Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS): About the Survey Geography & ACS Technical Documentation News & UpdatesPlease cite the Census and ACS when using this data.Data Note from the Census: Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

Retirement Notice: 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 Viewer To 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:ProductNameis2020-2021 By 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 Pro To 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 2022 What 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.

The World Terrestrial Ecosystems map classifies the world into areas of similar climate, landform, and land cover, which form the basic components of any terrestrial ecosystem structure. This map is important because it uses objectively derived and globally consistent data to characterize the ecosystems at a much finer spatial resolution (250-m) than existing ecoregionalizations, and a much finer thematic resolution (431 classes) than existing global land cover products. This item was updated on Apr 14, 2023 to distinguish between Boreal and Polar climate regions in the terrestrial ecosystems. Cell Size: 250-meter Source Type: ThematicPixel Type: 16 Bit UnsignedData Projection: GCS WGS84Extent: GlobalSource: USGS, The Nature Conservancy, EsriUpdate Cycle: NoneAnalysis: Optimized for analysis What can you do with this layer?This map allows you to query the land surface pixels and returns the values of all the input parameters (landform type, landcover/vegetation type, climate region) and the name of the terrestrial ecosystem at that location. This layer can be used in analysis at global and local regions. However, for large scale spatial analysis, we have also provided an ArcGIS Pro Package that contains the original raster data with multiple table attributes. For simple mapping applications, there is also a raster tile layer. This layer can be combined with the World Protected Areas Database to assess the types of ecosystems that are protected, and progress towards meeting conservation goals. The WDPA layer updates monthly from the United Nations Environment Programme. Optimized for analysis means this layer does not have size constraints for analysis and it is recommended for multisource analysis with other layers optimized for analysis. See the Living Atlas Imagery Layers Optimized for Analysis Group for a complete list of imagery layers optimized for analysis. Developing the World Terrestrial EcosystemsWorld Terrestrial Ecosystems map was produced by adopting and modifying the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) approach on the definition of Terrestrial Ecosystems and development of standardized global climate regions using the values of environmental moisture regime and temperature regime. We then combined the values of Global Climate Regions, Landforms and matrix-forming vegetation assemblage or land use, using the ArcGIS Combine tool (Spatial Analyst) to produce World Ecosystems Dataset. This combination resulted of 431 World Ecosystems classes. Each combination was assigned a color using an algorithm that blended traditional color schemes for each of the three components. Every pixel in this map is symbolized by a combination of values for each of these fields. The work from this collaboration is documented in the publication:Sayre et al. 2020.

The Digital Geologic-GIS Map of the Mud Creek Quadrangle, Colorado is composed of GIS data layers and GIS tables, and is available in the following GRI-supported GIS data formats: 1.) an ESRI file geodatabase (mucr_geology.gdb), a 2.) Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) geopackage, and 3.) 2.2 KMZ/KML file for use in Google Earth, however, this format version of the map is limited in data layers presented and in access to GRI ancillary table information. The file geodatabase format is supported with a 1.) ArcGIS Pro map file (.mapx) file (mucr_geology.mapx) and individual Pro layer (.lyrx) files (for each GIS data layer). The OGC geopackage is supported with a QGIS project (.qgz) file. Upon request, the GIS data is also available in ESRI shapefile format. Contact Stephanie O'Meara (see contact information below) to acquire the GIS data in these GIS data formats. In addition to the GIS data and supporting GIS files, three additional files comprise a GRI digital geologic-GIS dataset or map: 1.) a readme file (yuho_geology_gis_readme.pdf), 2.) the GRI ancillary map information document (.pdf) file (yuho_geology.pdf) which contains geologic unit descriptions, as well as other ancillary map information and graphics from the source map(s) used by the GRI in the production of the GRI digital geologic-GIS data for the park, and 3.) a user-friendly FAQ PDF version of the metadata (mucr_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Please read the yuho_geology_gis_readme.pdf for information pertaining to the proper extraction of the GIS data and other map files. Google Earth software is available for free at: https://www.google.com/earth/versions/. QGIS software is available for free at: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/. Users are encouraged to only use the Google Earth data for basic visualization, and to use the GIS data for any type of data analysis or investigation. The data were completed as a component of the Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) program, a National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Division funded program that is administered by the NPS Geologic Resources Division (GRD). For a complete listing of GRI products visit the GRI publications webpage: https://www.nps.gov/subjects/geology/geologic-resources-inventory-products.htm. For more information about the Geologic Resources Inventory Program visit the GRI webpage: https://www.nps.gov/subjects/geology/gri.htm. At the bottom of that webpage is a "Contact Us" link if you need additional information. You may also directly contact the program coordinator, Jason Kenworthy (jason_kenworthy@nps.gov). Source geologic maps and data used to complete this GRI digital dataset were provided by the following: U.S. Geological Survey. Detailed information concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI product are listed in the Source Citation section(s) of this metadata record (mucr_geology_metadata.txt or mucr_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Users of this data are cautioned about the locational accuracy of features within this dataset. Based on the source map scale of 1:24,000 and United States National Map Accuracy Standards features are within (horizontally) 12.2 meters or 40 feet of their actual location as presented by this dataset. Users of this data should thus not assume the location of features is exactly where they are portrayed in Google Earth, ArcGIS Pro, QGIS or other software used to display this dataset. All GIS and ancillary tables were produced as per the NPS GRI Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 2.3. (available at: https://www.nps.gov/articles/gri-geodatabase-model.htm).

Coordinate system Update:Notably, this dataset will be provided in NAD 83 Connecticut State Plane (2011) (EPSG 2234) projection, instead of WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere (EPSG 3857) which is the coordinate system of the 2023 dataset and will remain in Connecticut State Plane moving forward.Ownership Suppression and Data Access:The updated dataset now includes parcel data for all towns across the state, with some towns featuring fully suppressed ownership information. In these instances, the owner’s name will be replaced with the label "Current Owner," the co-owner’s name will be listed as "Current Co-Owner," and the mailing address will appear as the property address itself. For towns with suppressed ownership data, users should be aware that there was no "Suppression" field in the submission to verify specific details. This measure was implemented this year to help verify compliance with Suppression.New Data Fields:The new dataset introduces the "Land Acres" field, which will display the total acreage for each parcel. This additional field allows for more detailed analysis and better supports planning, zoning, and property valuation tasks. An important new addition is the FIPS code field, which provides the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code for each parcel’s corresponding block. This allows users to easily identify which block the parcel is in.Updated Service URL:The new parcel service URL includes all the updates mentioned above, such as the improved coordinate system, new data fields, and additional geospatial information. Users are strongly encouraged to transition to the new service as soon as possible to ensure that their workflows remain uninterrupted. The URL for this service will remain persistent moving forward. Once you have transitioned to the new service, the URL will remain constant, ensuring long term stability.For a limited time, the old service will continue to be available, but it will eventually be retired. Users should plan to switch to the new service well before this cutoff to avoid any disruptions in data access.The dataset has combined the Parcels and Computer-Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) data for 2024 into a single dataset. This dataset is designed to make it easier for stakeholders and the GIS community to use and access the information as a geospatial dataset. Included in this dataset are geometries for all 169 municipalities and attribution from the CAMA data for all but one municipality. Pursuant to Section 7-100l of the Connecticut General Statutes, each municipality is required to transmit a digital parcel file and an accompanying assessor’s database file (known as a CAMA report), to its respective regional council of governments (COG) by May 1 annually. These data were gathered from the CT municipalities by the COGs and then submitted to CT OPM. This dataset was created on 10/31/2024 from data collected in 2023-2024. Data was processed using Python scripts and ArcGIS Pro, ensuring standardization and integration of the data.<p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helv

Location and elevation data were collected along with peat auger cores during six U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) field activities from 2013-2018 in and around Grand Bay, Mississippi (MS) and Alabama (AL) and used in models described by Smith and others (2024). Peat auger cores were described, photographed, and the thickness of the peat unit was measured with a measuring tape. Following collection, the distance from the core location to various geomorphic boundaries (e.g., upland, marsh shoreline, water edge, etc.) and other metrics (angle and width of marsh) were determined using geoprocessing tools from the Data Management and Analysis Toolboxes in ArcGIS Pro (version 3.1) using 2015 shorelines from Terrano and others (2018). This dataset includes all the aforementioned metrics along with the angle from the shoreline and upland boundary to the core locations. The cores used in this data release were collected during the following six field activities identified by the following USGS assigned field activity numbers (FANs): 13BIM01, 2014-323-FA (alternate FAN 14CCT01), 2016-331-FA (16CCT03), 2016-358-FA (16CCT07), 2017-315-FA (17CCT02), and 2018-332-FA (18CCT01). Additional marsh and estuarine data from these six field activities (sediment characteristics, loss-on-ignition (LOI), foraminiferal census data, radiochemistry, and site location information) are available in previously published data releases, which are cross-referenced in the metadata of this data release. Downloadable data are available as a comma-separated values text file (.csv) and Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata (.txt and .xml).
