According to the United Nations, 54% of the world’s population resides in urban areas in the year 2014. It is projected that by 2050 this number will increase by 12%. The direct effect of this urban drift has had profound effects on social, economic and ecological systems, causing stresses on the environment and society. The social and economic implications include impacts from human activities such as transport, industrialization, combustion, construction etc., all of which have a direct or indirect bearing on the environment. These pollution sources have led to release of pollutants such as Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Particulate Matter (PM) and Sulphur dioxide (SO2) into the atmosphere. It is believed that air pollution is influenced by urban dynamics.In this project, we present a method for predicting historical air quality (as measured by daily median PM25 concentration) for locations where no ground-based sensors are present, by using weather data and remote sensing data from sources like the Sentinel 5P satellite. Air quality data is obtained for 555 cities and supplemented by satellite and weather data. This is then used to build a model to predict the air quality for a given date and location. A competition hosted by Zindi was used to crowd-source the creation of the model used, with the winning code forming the basis of our modelling approach.We use the trained model to create a new dataset of historical air quality predictions for cities across Africa, available at https://github.com/johnowhitaker/air_quality_prediction. For access to the original data see https://search.datacite.org/works/10.15493/sarva.301020-2.

This dashboard defaults to a presentation of the crash points that will cluster the crash types and determine a predominant crash type. In the case two crash types have the same number of crashes for that type the predominant type will not be colored to either of the crash types. Clicking on the clusters will include a basic analysis of the cluster. These clusters are dynamic and will change as the user zooms in an out of the map. The clustering of crashes is functionality availalble in ArcGIS Online and the popups for the clusters is based on items that include elements configured with the Arcade language. Users interested in learning more about point clustering and the configuration of popups should read through some of the examples of the following ESRI Article (https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/mapping/summarize-and-explore-point-clusters-with-arcade-in-popups/) . The dashboard itself does include a map widget that does allow the user to toggle the visibility of layers and/or click on the crashes within the map. The popups for single crashes can be difficult to see unless the map is expanded (click in upper right of map widget). There is a Review Crashes tab that allows for another display of details of a crash that may be easier for users.This dashboard includes selectors in both the header and sidebar. By default the sidebar is collapsed and would need to be expanded. The crash dataset used in the presentation includes columns with a prefix of the unit. The persons information associated to each unit would be based on the Person that was considered the driver. Crash data can be filtered by clicking on items in chart widgets. All chart widgets have been configured to allow multiple selections and these selections will then filter the crash data accordingly. Allowing for data to be filtered by clicking on widgets is an alternative approach to setting up individual selectors. Selectors can take up a lot of space in the header and sidebar and clicking on the widget items can allow you to explore different scenarios which may ultimately be setup as selectors in the future. The Dashboard has many widgets that are stacked atop each other and underneath these stacked widgets are controls or tabs that allow the user to toggle between different visualizations. The downside to allowing a user to filter based on the output of a widget is the need for the end user to keep track of what has been clicked and the need to go back through and unclick.Many of the Crash Data Elements are based on lookups that have a fairly large range of values to select. This can be difficult sometimes with charts and the fact that a user may be overwhelmed by the number of items be plotted. Some of these values could potentially benefit by grouping similar values. The crash data being used in this dashboard hasn't been post processed to simplify some of the groupings of data and represent the value as it would appear in the Crash System. This dashboard was put together to continue the discussion on what data elements should be included in the GIS Crash Dataset. At the moment there is currently one primary dataset that is used to present crash data in Map Services. There is lots of potential to extend this dataset to include additional elements or it might be beneficial to create different versions of the crash data. Having an examples like this one will hopefully help with the discussion. Workable examples of what works and doesn't work. There are lots of data elements in the Crash System that could allow for an even more detailed safety analysis. Some of the unit items included in the example for Minot Ave in Auburn are the following. This information is included for the first three units associated to any crash.Most Damaged AreaExtent of DamageUnit TypeDirection of Travel (Northbound, Southbound, Eastbound, Westbound)Pre-Crash ActionsSequence of Events 1-4Most Harmful Event Some of the persons items included in the example for Minot Ave in Auburn are the following.

According to the United Nations, 54% of the world’s population resides in urban areas in the year 2014. It is projected that by 2050 this number will increase by 12%. The direct effect of this urban drift has had profound effects on social, economic and ecological systems, causing stresses on the environment and society. The social and economic implications include impacts from human activities such as transport, industrialization, combustion, construction etc., all of which have a direct or indirect bearing on the environment. These pollution sources have led to release of pollutants such as Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Particulate Matter (PM) and Sulphur dioxide (SO2) into the atmosphere. It is believed that air pollution is influenced by urban dynamics.In this project, we present a method for predicting historical air quality (as measured by daily median PM25 concentration) for locations where no ground-based sensors are present, by using weather data and remote sensing data from sources like the Sentinel 5P satellite. Air quality data is obtained for 555 cities and supplemented by satellite and weather data. This is then used to build a model to predict the air quality for a given date and location. A competition hosted by Zindi was used to crowd-source the creation of the model used, with the winning code forming the basis of our modelling approach.We use the trained model to create a new dataset of historical air quality predictions for cities across Africa, available at https://github.com/johnowhitaker/air_quality_prediction.

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 coarse fragments (cfvo).Coarse fragments are particles that are more than 2 millimeters in diameter. These coarse fragments are not included in chemical, mineralogical, and some physical analyses. Soils that have a high percentage of coarse fragments are less desirable for most uses. A high proportion of fragments dilutes the effectiveness of the fine earth part of the soil (particles less than 2 millimeters in diameter). On the soil surface, fragments dissipate some of the energy of raindrops. Therefore, soils with a moderate amount of coarse fragments on the surface tend to resist erosion. Percolation of water through soil is often more rapid where the percentage of coarse fragments is greatest, if other properties are similar.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 coarse fragments 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: Volumetric fraction of coarse fragments (> 2 mm) in cm³/100cm³ (vol%)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 cfvo were used to create this layer. You may access coarse fragments values 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.

Use the Imagery Viewer template to allow app users visualize and explore imagery through time and space. This template includes tools that you can enable for navigating through time, recording locations, measurement, and more. A single-image configuration lets users focus on a single imagery layer, while a two-image configuration lets users compare two imagery layers using a swipe tool. Examples: Investigate urban expansion in a major city by comparing changes to imagery over time. Record the location of a point of interest identified from a high-resolution satellite image. Document notes about newly constructed houses, including calculating building heights in-app. Data requirements The Imagery Viewer template requires a web map with at least one imagery layer. Key app capabilities Imagery visualization - Visualize imagery layers (and nonimagery layers) from the app's web map. Bookmarks - Allow users to zoom and pan to a collection of preset extents that are saved in the map. Image search - Enable individual image selector to allow users to search dynamic imagery layers for specific images. Swipe - Allows users to compare differences between images in a map. Image measurement - Enable this tool to allow users to perform image measurement on imagery layers that have mensuration capabilities. Share - Export an imagery layer to the user's local machine as a TIFF or as a layer in their organization.
