These ready-to-use, multiscale layers enable local officials, business owners, and researchers to understand what is happening in their communities and how best to allocate resources. ACS data is available at the state, county, and census tract levels.\r\n<h2>NOAA, Esri Create Online Hub for Ocean, Coastal Data<\/h2>\r\nThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Esri entered into a cooperative research and development agreement to increase the accessibility of ocean and coastal data. This partnership will combine NOAA\u2019s world-class data with Esri\u2019s geospatial technology to produce a first-of-its-kind open data platform with timely, relevant, user-friendly information that helps support sustainable development while also protecting and restoring marine ecosystems. The goal is to create a public-facing hub where visitors can find answers to wide-ranging questions, from \u201cWhere can I fish?\u201d to \u201cHow are rising ocean temperatures impacting vital marine ecosystems?\u201d\r\n<h2>Geospatial Data Included in Autodesk Forma<\/h2>\r\nIn a deepening of their partnership, Esri and Autodesk agreed to integrate Esri\u2019s geospatial reference data into Autodesk Forma, cloud-based software that offers AI-powered tools to architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals. The inclusion of ArcGIS data\u2014such as basemaps and ArcGIS Living Atlas data layers\u2014in Autodesk Forma means that architects and planners can begin designing with quick access to comprehensive geographic context.
