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. With the ability to see through cloud and smoke cover, and because it does not rely on solar illumination of the Earth’s surface, Sentinel-1 is able to collect useful imagery in most weather conditions, day and night. This data is good for a wide range of land and maritime applications, from mapping floods, to deforestation, to oil spills, and more. Sentinel-1 Explorer is an ArcGIS Living Atlas app that enables you to unlock and explore the wealth of information that Sentinel provides. A new tutorial, intended for educators and students, but useful to anyone that wants to learn more about Sentinel-1 Explorer, has just been published.

Jointly managed by NASA and the USGS, Landsat is the longest running spaceborne earth imaging and observation program in history. The Landsat program began in 1972, with the launch of Landsat 1. Beginning with Landsat 4, the program began providing mission to mission data continuity. The Landsat Level-2 multispectral imagery is available in ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World as a time enabled image service, accessible across the ArcGIS system. For more about the service and the data, see Landsat Level-2.

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.
