Esri story maps are an exciting and popular feature of the ArcGIS platform that combine maps, photos, text, and other media, in a single interactive application. Any topic or project that includes a map can be a story map. In this seminar, you will learn about Esri application templates that simplify story map creation and require no coding. The presenters will discuss how to choose the best template for a project and the steps to create a compelling story map from a template.

This template is in Mature Support. Esri offers several other crowdsourcing and data collection apps. Story Map Crowdsource is a configurable application that lets you set up a Story Map that anyone can contribute to. Use it to engage a specific or general audience and collect their pictures and captions on any topic that interests you. Participants can log in with their social media account or ArcGIS account. When you configure a Crowdsource story, an interactive builder makes it easy to create your story and optionally review and approve contributions before they appear on the map.Use CasesStory Map Crowdsource can be used to create a crowdsourced map of photos related to any topic, event, or cause.

This Story Map portrays the evolution of GIS at the City of Boise. Boise City GIS was initiated in 1989 when the Public Works Department hired a senior GIS analyst to create and maintain sewer data in a GIS. Over the years, in response to ever increasing demands for GIS services, Boise City GIS continued to grow and evolve. In 2006 GIS was reorganized, placing the GIS manager and GIS systems analysts under the Information & Technology Department to support the GIS infrastructure and develop a full-fledged enterprise GIS. At the same time, several GIS analysts and technicians were placed in other departments to support specific business functions

On a paper map, or many maps on computers, Earth is shown as flat. But as people have known for thousands of years, Earth is round! (That's why we have globes.) Yet we often use flat paper maps and see flat maps on the computer, and flat maps can be easier to work with for some tasks, like seeing all of the continents at once.

So how do we turn something round into something flat? This Story Map explores how we do this.

Students learn how to configure pop-up boxes for each designated place and populate them with information they have uncovered. Students learn how to add images to their designated places on their maps. Once completed, students learn how to import into other media i.e. StoryMaps, Word documents to tell a bigger story about the places on the map.

The objective of this project is to create a story map that highlights and narrates the history of flooding in Chicago. It will map hydrology, rainfall patterns, floods, and income levels. It will draw from this how different socioeconomic regions and neighborhoods differ in flood response and action. This project will be used to justify a possible green bond for flooding mitigation in low income houses in Chicago.

This collection of images depict Boston, Massachusetts, with particular emphasis on Dorchester Avenue. Some of the images contain photographs of the area, while others detail Dorchester Avenue's history using a timeline. The images are associated with chapters 1 through 4 of the PLAN South Boston Dorchester Avenue report, which contains the history, current conditions, outreach initiatives, goals, and objectives of a proposed plan to create a new mixed-use urban district in Boston, Massachusetts.These images are intended for use in the Storify a planning report tutorial, which details the process of creating a story in ArcGIS StoryMaps for the plan. The story includes maps and a scene that showcase the proposed district. The plan itself was created by the Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA).

To monitor forest and tree canopy cover status and progress toward its commitments, the Maryland General Assembly enacted legislation (House Bill 991) in 2021 requiring a Technical Study of Changes in Maryland’s Forest Cover and Tree Canopy. The Maryland Forest Technical Study Story Map presents the results of this study, which improves Maryland’s statewide inventory of forest and tree canopy cover, assesses near and long-term change and assesses the effectiveness of forest and tree programs operating in the state. Notably, this study makes use of a newly released, innovative, very high-resolution (1-m) land use and land cover dataset for the Chesapeake Bay watershed, used for the first time to monitor individual trees within and outside forests across Maryland. This is complemented by moderate-resolution satellite imagery, ground observations and other research to generate insights on the status of tree canopy cover in the state.

Soil is the foundation of life on earth. More living things by weight live in the soil than upon it. It determines what crops we can grow, what structures we can build, what forests can take root.This layer contains the physical soil variable percent clay (clay).Within the subset of soil that is smaller than 2mm in size, also known as the fine earth portion, clay is defined as particles that are smaller than 0.002mm, making them only visible in an electron microscope. Clay soils contain low amounts of air, and water drains through them very slowly.This layer is a general, medium scale global predictive soil layer suitable for global mapping and decision support. In many places samples of soils do not exist so this map represents a prediction of what is most likely in that location. The predictions are made in six depth ranges by soilgrids.org, funded by ISRIC based in Wageningen, Netherlands.Each 250m pixel contains a value predicted for that area by soilgrids.org from best available data worldwide. Data for percent clay are provided at six depth ranges from the surface to 2 meters below the surface. Each variable and depth range may be accessed in the layer's multidimensional properties.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: Proportion of clay particles (< 0.002 mm) in the fine earth fraction in g/100g (%)Cell Size: 250 metersPixel Type: 32 bit float, converted from online data that is 16 Bit Unsigned IntegerCoordinate System: Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere, projected via nearest neighbor from goode's homolosine land (250m)Extent: World land area except AntarcticaVisible Scale: All scales are visibleNumber of Columns and Rows: 160300, 100498Source: Soilgrids.orgPublication Date: May 2020Data from the soilgrids.org mean predictions for clay were used to create this layer. You may access the percent clay in one of six depth ranges. To select one choose the depth variable in the multidimensional selector in your map client.Mean depth (cm)Actual depth range of data-2.50-5cm depth range-105-15cm depth range-22.515-30cm depth range-4530-60cm depth range-8060-100cm depth range-150100-200cm depth rangeWhat can you do with this Layer?This layer is suitable for both visualization and analysis across the ArcGIS system. This layer can be combined with your data and other layers from the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro to create powerful web maps that can be used alone or in a story map or other application.Because this layer is part of the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World it is easy to add to your map: In ArcGIS Online, you can add this layer to a map by selecting Add then Browse Living Atlas Layers. A window will open. Type "world soils soilgrids" in the search box and browse to the layer. Select the layer then click Add to Map. In ArcGIS Pro, open a map and select Add Data from the Map Tab. Select Data at the top of the drop down menu. The Add Data dialog box will open on the left side of the box, expand Portal if necessary, then select Living Atlas. Type "world soils soilgrids" in the search box, browse to the layer then click OK.In ArcGIS Pro you can use the built-in raster functions or create your own to create custom extracts of the data. Imagery layers provide fast, powerful inputs to geoprocessing tools, models, or Python scripts in Pro.Online you can filter the layer to show subsets of the data using the filter button and the layer's built-in raster functions.This layer is part of the Living Atlas of the World that provides an easy way to explore the landscape layers and many other beautiful and authoritative maps on hundreds of topics.More information about soilgrids layersAnswers to many questions may be found at soilgrids.org (ISRIC) frequently asked questions (faq) page about the data.To make this layer, Esri reprojected the expected value of ISRIC soil grids from soilgrids' source projection (goode's land WKID 54052) to web mercator projection, nearest neighbor, to facilitate online mapping. The resolution in web mercator projection is the same as the original projection, 250m. But keep in mind that the original dataset has been reprojected to make this web mercator version.This multidimensional soil collection serves the mean or expected value for each soil variable as calculated by soilgrids.org. For all other distributions of the soil variable, be sure to download the data directly from soilgrids.org. The data are available in VRT format and may be converted to other image formats within ArcGIS Pro.Accessing this layer's companion uncertainty layerBecause data quality varies worldwide, the uncertainty of the predicted value varies worldwide. A companion uncertainty layer exists for this layer which you can use to qualify the values you see in this map for analysis. Choose a variable and depth in the multidimensional settings of your map client to access the companion uncertainty layer.

Geoscience Australia’s Historical Aerial Photography Program currently involves scanning and georeferencing old flight diagrams to enable the digitising and positioning of historical aerial photographs for easy discovery and download. Accurate digital mapping of GA’s aerial photography collection will make catalogue searches easier and the collection more accessible to the public. This story map presents an interactive history of aerial photography, a background of aerial photography in Australia, historical aerial photography use cases and scenarios, and a background on Geoscience Australia's program to digitise flight diagrams and create a catalogue of aerial photographs.

About WCS Canada:

Our Vision

WCS Canada envisions a world where wildlife thrives in healthy lands and seas, valued by societies that embrace and benefit from the diversity and integrity of life on earth.

Our Mission

WCS Canada saves wildlife and wild places in Canada through science, conservation action, and by inspiring people to value nature.

Our Approach

WCS Canada uses a unique blend of on-the-ground scientific research and policy action to help protect wildlife across Canada. Our scientists are leaders in developing solutions to address conservation challenges, from the impacts of climate change on wildlife and wild areas to the cumulative effects of resource development and other human impacts. We work in some of the wildest corners of Canada to build a scientific case for the conservation of globally important wild areas, like the Ontario Northern Boreal, the Northern Boreal Mountains of BC and Yukon, and the Arctic Ocean, where there is still a big opportunity to protect intact ecosystems. We combine insights gained from our “muddy boots” fieldwork with a big-picture conservation vision to speak up for species such as caribou, wolverine, bats, bison, freshwater fish and marine mammals.

This Story Map outlines the evolution of a partnership between Ada County and City of Boise formed to create a new and improved Ridge to Rivers online interactive map. It also explains some of the key differences between the old and new maps and discusses some of the technology involved.

This resources contains PDF files and Python notebook files that demonstrate how to create geospatial resources in HydroShare and how to use these resources through web services provided by the built-in HydroShare GeoServer instance. Geospatial resources can be consumed directly into ArcMap, ArcGIS, Story Maps, Quantum GIS (QGIS), Leaflet, and many other mapping environments. This provides HydroShare users with the ability to store data and retrieve it via services without needing to set up new data services. All tutorials cover how to add WMS and WFS connections. WCS connections are available for QGIS and are covered in the QGIS tutorial.
