5 Things on Friday
5 Things on Friday, May 31/24 Edition. Some cool Geo goodies shared this week include: Sensors Tracking Air Pollution, a Drone Industry Conference, tracking storms in hurricane season, GIS expanding broadband usage, and an EsriUC2024 planning tip.
Sensors Tracking Air Pollution
The Smithsonian Institution and NASA have teamed up to create a new air pollution sensor that’s now returning remarkable data. Eventually, say TEMPO scientists, its data could help displace our fuzzy pollution maps with something far more detailed and accurate, like a near real-time 3D video of the air. Learn more about this in the article "From 22,000 Miles Up, A New Sensor Can Track Air Pollution to Its Source"
Event Tip - 2024 Energy Drone & Robotics Summit
Taking place in a couple of weeks in Houston, TX, this event boasts that it is the largest event of its kind in the World! Topics include UAVs, Robotics & Data/AI, 3D Reality Capture, Geospatial and Digital Twins focused on the business and technology in energy & industrial operations, inspections, maintenance, surveying & mapping.
Living Atlas Data to Track Storms
Here's an interesting data tip for you via the Esri team. Goes 16 Near Real Time, True Color. The data opens the layer in ArcGIS Scene, set up to refresh automatically. The data is updated every 10 minutes from the NOAA servers - see also the amazing data service HERE - WOWZA!
Plan your Week at ESRIUC using Industry Fliers
Esri User Conference (UC) is about 6 weeks away so you better get planning! As you know, there's tons to do and to make the most of the week planning is a must. Don't forget about the pre-event seminars and special "mini" conferences, like the Imagery Summit, GIS Manager's Summit, the new AI Summit, and then there are the special interest groups (SIGs), lightning talks, Developer Day, and hundreds of technology sessions and presentations to take in. To assist you be sure to check out all the industry fliers and other documents on Esri Community. These have been put together by Esri insiders and are extremely valuable. Finally, be sure that you load up the Esri Events mobile app before you go - its a must! Oh, and be sure to search the detailed online agenda for anything with the word "Social"!

Esri + Partners Expanding Broadband
Randall Renee, Solutions Director for Telecommunications at Esri, shares his thoughts on how the telecom industry can transform its capabilities during rural broadband deployment with ArcGIS software and Esri Partner CHR Solutions. The collaboration between Esri and CHR Solutions is a great example where a strategic partnership leveraging advanced Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provides the capabilities service providers need for delivering broadband infrastructure.
I hope you found at least one cool story here this week that got your interest, and as always, feel free to ping me with any suggestions or tips. Happy Friday!
