By the year 2050, farmers will be expected to feed a world population of nine to 10 billion people. To meet this challenge, comprehensive precision agriculture innovations are needed to produce more food at a greater efficiency. This transformation in farming will require a cultural shift in a research approach from individual scientist’s data being siloed to an ecosystem of data sharing among the research community. To engage scientists and stakeholders, the U.S. Department of Agriculture – Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) developed the Agricultural Collaborative Research Outcomes System (AgCROS) as the next generation collaborative platform to share data across the agricultural community. Using an ArcGIS Hub, AgCROS is designed to engage government employees, scientists, farmers, and citizens. AgCROS is a component in the agricultural data ecosystem that will drive sustainable future precision agriculture innovation and technology. ... View more

The United States has globally significant biological diversity that contributes to our economic, ecological, cultural, and spiritual well-being. Every day, Federal agency staff make countless decisions that must balance a diversity of resource demands from our lands and waters while still providing habitat for the plants and animals that are our nation’s natural heritage, particularly for those already at risk of extinction. NatureServe, a western hemisphere biodiversity information network, is using big data, GIS, and cloud computing to produce high-resolution biodiversity maps that help reduce conflicts without sacrificing conservation outcomes. To this end, the NatureServe network has produced the Map of Biodiversity Importance, spatial analyses of modeled suitable habitat for over 2200 species at risk in the continental U.S., including plants, pollinators, vertebrates and aquatic invertebrates. These national biodiversity maps leverage GIS tools to support iterative, collaborative science, where the maps are living products that will dynamically improve over time to support the best available science in decisions about our nation’s living resources. ...

This session will introduce the CHIME geoprocessing tool, an implementation of the University of Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 Hospital Impact Model for Epidemics (CHIME) for use in ArcGIS Pro. The tool leverages SIR (Susceptible, Infected, Recovered) modeling to assist hospitals, cities, and regions with capacity planning around COVID-19 by providing estimates of daily new admissions and current inpatient hospitalizations (census), ICU admissions, and patients requiring ventilation. We will go over the concepts behind the model to understand how projections are made, determine what data is needed, and be prepared to present and defend findings.
