In order to do anything with the StoryMap template we have created, you need your own copy in your own ArcGIS account. In the process, we're also going to give you a course website - you can use it if you like or not, but it turns out it's the easiest way to get a copy of the template into your account.Navigate to your ArcGIS homepage and sign in with your institutional login.Click to the "Hub" menu by clicking the square of dots near your name in the upper right (the app menu), and finding "Hub" Select "New Initiative"Select "Browse Templates"Select "World" under Published by and search for "Teaching Research." Our template should be the only one to pop up. Click "Activate Initiative." Name your initiative for your class and click "go." After a minute or two, you'll arrive at a template of a website (called a Hub by Esri) that you can customize for your class. ESRI has a guide to editing your Hub, or you can just click and replace text as you see fit within the template. You need to save content as you go and make sure you hit publish any time you want to update live content for your Hub. If you do not want the website, ignore it and move on to the next step.You now have a copy of the StoryMap template that you can edit to suit your needs. Practice finding it by navigating directly to storymaps.arcgis.com and signing in. You should see "Learning StoryMaps" at the top of your content. You can also find it by navigating to your content folder at arcgis.com . Open the template and create a duplicate the template by clicking the three dots at the top right and select "duplicate story." Your newly created copy of the StoryMap will open with the word "(Copy)" in front of the title. This way you always have a clean copy of the template in your content to come back to as needed. Your new template copy will be named "(Copy) Learning StoryMaps."

The arrival of ArcGIS Pro has brought a challenge to ArcMap users. The new software is sufficiently different in architecture and layout that switching from the old to the new is not a simple process. In some ways, Pro is harder to learn for ArcMap users than for new GIS users, because some workflows have to be unlearned, or at least heavily modified. Current ArcMap users are pressed for time, trying to learn the new software while still completing their daily tasks, so a book that teaches Pro from the start is not an efficient method.Switching to ArcGIS Pro from ArcMap aims to quickly transition ArcMap users to ArcGIS Pro. Rather than teaching Pro from the start, as for a novice user, this book focuses on how Pro is different from ArcMap. Covering the most common and important workflows required for most GIS work, it leverages the user’s prior experience to enable a more rapid adjustment to Pro.AUDIENCEProfessional and scholarly; College/higher education; General/trade.AUTHOR BIOMaribeth H.

It points to the latest feature layers and is based on the NWCG Wildfire GIS templates.Updates to this project can be found in the Read Me text document in the root folder of the template after downloading. Some patch notes can also be found below in the comments.Special thanks to NIFC and the Wildfire GIS Community for the starting template. For more documentation see NWCG Standards for Geospatial Operations, PMS 936 | NWCGYOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS any incident data unless you are a member of the NSARGC Group.If the template brings you to a screen saying "Invalid Token", you may need to try downloading it again. How to deploy templateThis template is not a traditional ArcGIS Pro template. When you download this template, you are downloading the full folder structure, pre-made map projects, layouts, databases, and tools that have been designed to work alongside SARCOP. This "template" does not use the "Create a project from a template" workflow within Pro, rather you are downloading the full project, and it can be modified as you see fit from there. Below are the recommended steps to take to deploy the template.Download the template anywhere on your PC by clicking the Download button on the top right below Sign In and Overview. This will download as a Zipped folder, likely to your Downloads folder.Go to the C drive of your computer and create a new folder called "Incidents", then create another folder within that Incidents folder with the name of the incident you are using the template for. For example, if the incident name is "Hurricane Lisa", the folder path should look something like "C:\Incidents\2024xxxx_HurricaneLisa".Extract the zipped folder contents from step 1 to that new incident folder you created in step 2. In the Hurricane Lisa example, data would be extracted to C:\Incidents\2024xxxx_HurricaneLisa.Go to the newly extracted folders and find the Projects folder. Open that and double click on any APRX file to begin work.

These toolboxes are provided free of charge and are not warrantied for any specific use. We do not provide support or assistance in downloading or using these tools. We do, however, strive to produce high-quality tools and appreciate comments you have about them.

Image Mask is a configurable app template for identifying areas of an image that have changed over time or that meet user-set thresholds for calculated spectral indexes. The template also includes tools for measurement, recording locations, and more.App users can zoom to bookmarked areas of interest (or search for their own), select any of the imagery layers from the associated web map to analyze, use a time slider or dropdown menu to select images, then choose between the Change Detection or Mask tools to produce results.Image Mask users can do the following:Zoom to bookmarked areas of interest (or bookmark their own)Select specific images from a layer to visualize (search by date or another attribute)Use the Change Detection tool to compare two images in a layer (see options, below)Use the Mask tool to highlight areas that meet a user-set threshold for common spectral indexes (NDVI, SAVI, a burn index, and a water index). For example, highlight all the areas in an image with NDVI values above 0.25 to find vegetation.Annotate imagery using editable feature layersPerform image measurement on imagery layers that have mensuration capabilitiesExport an imagery layer to the user's local machine, or as a layer in the user’s ArcGIS accountUse CasesA student investigating urban expansion over time using Esri’s Multispectral Landsat image serviceA farmer using NAIP imagery to examine changes in crop healthAn image analyst recording burn scar extents using satellite imageryAn aid worker identifying regions with extreme drought to focus assistanceChange detection methodsFor each imagery layer, give app users one or more of the following change detection options:Image Brightness (calculates the change in overall brightness)Vegetation Index (NDVI) (requires red and infrared bands)Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI) (requires red and infrared bands)Water Index (requires green and short-wave infrared bands)Burn Index (requires infrared and short-wave infrared bands)For each of the indexes, users also have a choice between three modes:Difference Image: calculates increases and decreases for the full extent Difference Mask: users can focus on significant change by setting the minimum increase or decrease to be masked—for example, a user could mask only areas where NDVI increased by at least 0.2Threshold Mask: The user sets a threshold and magnitude for what is masked as change. The app will only identify change that’s above the user-set lower threshold and bigger than the user-set minimum magnitude.Supported DevicesThis application is responsively designed to support use in browsers on desktops, mobile phones, and tablets.Data RequirementsCreating an app with this template requires a web map with at least one imagery layer.Get Started This application can be created in the following ways:Click the Create a Web App button on this pageShare a map and choose to Create a Web AppOn the Content page, click Create - App - From Template Click the Download button to access the source code.

This Map Service contains many of the primary data types created by both the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) within the Department of Interior (DOI) for the purpose of managing offshore federal real estate leases for oil, gas, minerals, renewable energy, sand and gravel. These data layers are being made available as REST mapping services for the purpose of web viewing and map overlay viewing in GIS systems. Due to re-projection issues which occur when converting multiple UTM zone data to a single national or regional projected space, and line type changes that occur when converting from UTM to geographic projections, these data layers should not be used for official or legal purposes. Only the original data found within BOEM/BSEE’s official internal database, federal register notices or official paper or pdf map products may be considered as the official information or mapping products used by BOEM or BSEE. A variety of data layers are represented within this REST service are described further below. These and other cadastre information the BOEM and BSEE produces are generated in accordance with 30 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 256.8 to support Federal land ownership and mineral resource management.

Currently the following layers are available from this REST location:

OCS Drilling Platforms -Locations of structures at and beneath the water surface used for the purpose of exploration and resource extraction. Only platforms in federal Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) waters are included. A database of platforms and rigs is maintained by BSEE.

OCS Oil and Natural Gas Wells -Existing wells drilled for exploration or extraction of oil and/or gas products. Additional information includes the lease number, well name, spud date, the well class, surface area/block number, and statistics on well status summary. Only wells found in federal Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) waters are included. Wells information is updated daily. Additional files are available on well completions and well tests. A database of wells is maintained by BSEE.

OCS Oil & Gas Pipelines -This dataset is a compilation of available oil and gas pipeline data and is maintained by BSEE. Pipelines are used to transport and monitor oil and/or gas from wells within the outer continental shelf (OCS) to resource collection locations. Currently, pipelines managed by BSEE are found in Gulf of Mexico and southern California waters.

Unofficial State Lateral Boundaries - The approximate location of the boundary between two states seaward of the coastline and terminating at the Submerged Lands Act Boundary. Because most State boundary locations have not been officially described beyond the coast, are disputed between states or in some cases the coastal land boundary description is not available, these lines serve as an approximation that was used to determine a starting point for creation of BOEM’s OCS Administrative Boundaries. GIS files are not available for this layer due to its unofficial status.

BOEM OCS Administrative Boundaries - Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Administrative Boundaries Extending from the Submerged Lands Act Boundary seaward to the Limit of the United States OCS (The U.S. 200 nautical mile Limit, or other marine boundary)For additional details please see the January 3, 2006 Federal Register Notice.

BOEM Limit of OCSLA ‘8(g)’ zone - The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act '8(g) Zone' lies between the Submerged Lands Act (SLA) boundary line and a line projected 3 nautical miles seaward of the SLA boundary line. Within this zone, oil and gas revenues are shared with the coastal state(s). The official version of the ‘8(g)’ Boundaries can only be found on the BOEM Official Protraction Diagrams (OPDs) or Supplemental Official Protraction described below.

Submerged Lands Act Boundary - The SLA boundary defines the seaward limit of a state's submerged lands and the landward boundary of federally managed OCS lands. The official version of the SLA Boundaries can only be found on the BOEM Official Protraction Diagrams (OPDs) or Supplemental Official Protraction Diagrams described below.

Atlantic Wildlife Survey Tracklines(2005-2012) - These data depict tracklines of wildlife surveys conducted in the Mid-Atlantic region since 2005. The tracklines are comprised of aerial and shipboard surveys. These data are intended to be used as a working compendium to inform the diverse number of groups that conduct surveys in the Mid-Atlantic region.The tracklines as depicted in this dataset have been derived from source tracklines and transects. The tracklines have been simplified (modified from their original form) due to the large size of the Mid-Atlantic region and the limited ability to map all areas simultaneously.The tracklines are to be used as a general reference and should not be considered definitive or authoritative. This data can be downloaded from http://www.boem.gov/uploadedFiles/BOEM/Renewable_Energy_Program/Mapping_and_Data/ATL_WILDLIFE_SURVEYS.zip

BOEM OCS Protraction Diagrams & Leasing Maps - This data set contains a national scale spatial footprint of the outer boundaries of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s (BOEM’s) Official Protraction Diagrams (OPDs) and Leasing Maps (LMs). It is updated as needed. OPDs and LMs are mapping products produced and used by the BOEM to delimit areas available for potential offshore mineral leases, determine the State/Federal offshore boundaries, and determine the limits of revenue sharing and other boundaries to be considered for leasing offshore waters. This dataset shows only the outline of the maps that are available from BOEM.Only the most recently published paper or pdf versions of the OPDs or LMs should be used for official or legal purposes. The pdf maps can be found by going to the following link and selecting the appropriate region of interest. http://www.boem.gov/Oil-and-Gas-Energy-Program/Mapping-and-Data/Index.aspx Both OPDs and LMs are further subdivided into individual Outer Continental Shelf(OCS) blocks which are available as a separate layer. Some OCS blocks that also contain other boundary information are known as Supplemental Official Block Diagrams (SOBDs.) Further information on the historic development of OPD's can be found in OCS Report MMS 99-0006: Boundary Development on the Outer Continental Shelf: http://www.boemre.gov/itd/pubs/1999/99-0006.PDF Also see the metadata for each of the individual GIS data layers available for download. The Official Protraction Diagrams (OPDs) and Supplemental Official Block Diagrams (SOBDs), serve as the legal definition for BOEM offshore boundary coordinates and area descriptions.

BOEM OCS Lease Blocks - Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) lease blocks serve as the legal definition for BOEM offshore boundary coordinates used to define small geographic areas within an Official Protraction Diagram (OPD) for leasing and administrative purposes. OCS blocks relate back to individual Official Protraction Diagrams and are not uniquely numbered. Only the most recently published paper or pdf
