While coastal communities make up only 10% of the U.S. land mass, nearly 40% of the population can be found in coastal communities. An estimated $1 trillion worth of property is located within 700 feet of the coast and by 2050, it is estimated that up to $106 billion worth of coastal property will likely be impacted if current trends continue. Using World Imagery Wayback and Regrid parcel boundaries from Living Atlas, along with Map Viewer and ArcGIS Instant Apps, you can quickly and effectively view coastal change and property loss over time. For more information, see Map in a minute: Map coastal property loss using ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Living Atlas by @BernSzukalski. The blog article covers using Wayback, using Map Viewer to add Regrid parcels, and leverages the Media Map Instant App to use its swipe tool for viewing change over time.

Sentinel-1 Explorer is one of several Living Atlas ready-to-use apps that unlock the Sentinel-1 is a spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging system and mission from the European Space Agency and the European Commission. The mission launched and began collecting imagery in 2014. Sentinel-1 SAR imagery helps to track and document land use and land change associated with climate change, urbanization, drought, wildfire, deforestation, and other natural processes and human activity. Through an intuitive user experience, the Sentinel-1 Explorer leverages a variety of ArcGIS capabilities to explore and begin to unlock the wealth of information that Sentinel-1 provides. Some of the key capabilities include: Visual exploration of a dynamic global mosaic of the latest available scenes. On-the-fly band/polarization combinations and indices for visualization and analysis. Interactive Find a Scene by location, time, and orbit direction. Visual change by time and renderings with Swipe and Animation modes. Analysis such as threshold masking and temporal profiles for vegetation, water, land surface temperature, and more.   For more information, see Detect and measure wildfires with the Sentinel-1 Explorer.

The December 2023 Broadband Data Collection (BDC) is now available within ArcGIS Living Atlas. This ready-to-use layer shows fixed broadband availability for every Census Block and H3 Resolution-8 hexagonal area in the U.S. and outlying territories.   The layer summarizes the December 2023 BDC data showing the number of served, underserved, and unserved Broadband Serviceable Locations (BSLs) by transmission technology in a given geography. It is a composite of six sublayers – State, County, Tract, Block Group, Block, and H3 Resolution-8 hexagons – each with a related table listing all Internet Service Provider (ISP) offerings by technology and speed tier.

Just released in beta, a new Environment basemap of the world designed to support environment, landscape, natural resources, hydrologic, and physical geography content is now available in ArcGIS Living Atlas. This web map consists of vector tile layers that form a detailed basemap for the world, featuring a neutral style. The layers in this map provide unique capabilities for customization, high-resolution display, and offline use on mobile devices. They are built using the same data sources used for other Esri basemaps.   Use the map directly and add your own layers, or add the map to your organization's custom basemap gallery for use by all members.
