Open to the public, these datasets support precision agriculture, energy efficiency, emergency response, and a host of other use cases.\r\n\r\nGIS practitioners are well positioned to turn this data into actionable intelligence. But two persistent problems get in the way: Many GIS users are unaware that these resources exist, and those who are aware find them too complex to integrate into daily operations.\r\n\r\nTo break down these barriers, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is leading the <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/earth-science\/earth-science-to-action\/\">Earth Science to Action<\/a> (ES2A) strategy. The goal is to maximize the potential societal and economic impacts of Earth science by ensuring it can inform real-world decisions at scale.\r\n\r\nScientists recognize the challenge of what they call \u201cbridging the last mile\u201d\u2014translating complex scientific outputs into the tools that industry professionals already use. This requires a concerted effort, so NASA and Esri are collaborating to connect Earth science and operational GIS."},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[773733,773734,773735]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"To build that bridge, NASA needed to meet GIS teams where they work. For many state, local, and federal government organizations, as well as commercial entities, that environment is ArcGIS. To widen its reach, NASA delivers data in GIS-friendly formats such as custom rasters, provides image services, and adds datasets to ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. NASA also engages with Esri technology users through instructional blog posts, newsletters, and even live events.\r\n\r\nNASA\u2019s Earth observation data can point miners to surface deposits of rare earth minerals, help water treatment facilities monitor water quality, or guide government agencies in air quality forecasting. The imagery captures insight across land, water, and the atmosphere, making it valuable for nearly every industry.\r\n<h2>Breaking Down Barriers to Data<\/h2>\r\nSupporting ES2A are NASA scientists and mission application leads Dr. Dana Chadwick, Dr. Morgaine McKibben, and Dr. Elodie Macorps. They ensure that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthdata.nasa.gov\/learn\/gis\">data from cutting-edge missions<\/a> is accessible and actionable for leaders.\r\n\r\n\u201cOur role is to figure out how best to provide datasets to users who are going to make decisions with them,\u201d explained Chadwick. \u201cWe\u2019re helping to communicate what the data [is], how [it] can be used, and what the access points are.\u201d\r\n\r\nThree key missions these scientists support highlight the breadth of NASA\u2019s data capabilities:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/nisar\/\"><strong>NISAR<\/strong><\/a><strong> (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar):<\/strong> Designed to measure physical change and motion, this mission\u2014in partnership with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)\u2014tracks land deformation, monitors ice sheets, and measures vegetation structure regardless of cloud cover or darkness.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pace.gsfc.nasa.gov\/\"><strong>PACE<\/strong><\/a><strong> (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem):<\/strong> PACE provides daily global monitoring of the health and diversity of aquatic and terrestrial life, including algae and plants; types and quantities of aerosols, such as smoke and dust; trace gases; and more.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/earth.jpl.nasa.gov\/emit\/\"><strong>EMIT<\/strong><\/a><strong> (Earth surface Mineral dust source InvesTigation):<\/strong> Mounted on the International Space Station, the EMIT instrument identifies specific surface materials and gases, maps mineral composition, and detects large methane emission events.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAll these missions generate insight into how Earth functions and changes. But the data they produce is often massive and highly technical.\r\n\r\n\u201cAll of our data is generally available at one access point in one format,\u201d said McKibben. \u201cWe learned this can create barriers for some in the GIS user community, which is exactly the sort of broad and solution-forward user community we\u2019d like to support.\u201d\r\n\r\nSo the team set out to learn directly from GIS users how NASA can better integrate data into their existing technology and workflows."},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[773736,773737]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"\u201cWe\u2019re hosting regular user group meetings, workshops, and early adopter programs to gather feedback,\u201d said Macorps. \u201cWe learn how the GIS community needs the data delivered and then codevelop tools with both experienced and new users.\u201d\r\n\r\nThis collaborative approach helps ensure that data products solve real-world challenges and are accessible to a diverse user base.\r\n<h2>Making NASA Data Easier to Find<\/h2>\r\nAs NASA creates analysis-ready data for GIS users, Esri integrates that data directly into its technology.\r\n\r\nA major step in this process is the development of image services and cloud-enabled data access. Hosting data as image services lets users stream massive datasets directly into ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online without having to download them locally.\r\n\r\nNASA\u2019s Earthdata GIS (EGIS) platform provides image services for NASA datasets. Services are already available for PACE data and are in development for NISAR.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe\u2019re connecting GIS practitioners directly to the most current data sitting in NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthdata.nasa.gov\/about\/earthdata-cloud-evolution\">Earthdata Cloud<\/a>,\u201d McKibben noted.\r\n\r\nIn the meantime, users can access specialized raster types in ArcGIS that make it easier to work with files from NASA missions.\r\n\r\nThis integration is further highlighted by ArcGIS Living Atlas. Stephanie Dockstader, Esri\u2019s director of imagery and remote sensing solutions, is raising awareness among ArcGIS technology users that these datasets are available.\r\n\r\n\u201cMore than 120 NASA data layers are available now in ArcGIS Living Atlas,\u201d Dockstader said.\r\n\r\nNASA publishes these from the Earthdata GIS repository into ArcGIS Living Atlas.\r\n\r\n\u201cThat\u2019s where GIS practitioners go to find new, authoritative data sources, so the team has made it easy to find,\u201d explained Dockstader.\r\n<h2>Resources for Learning How to Use This Data<\/h2>\r\nEnabling GIS users to discover analysis-ready NASA data helps, but that isn\u2019t always the full solution for complex scientific data. This is especially true for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) information or full hyperspectral satellite data cubes from PACE and EMIT, which currently cannot be streamed directly into ArcGIS.\r\n\r\nFor NISAR, that\u2019s where experts like Heidi Kristenson\u2014a GIS specialist at the Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF)\u2014come in. ASF supports NASA as a Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) in NASA\u2019s Earthdata Program.\r\n\r\n\u201cNASA scientists create the datasets, and DAACs such as ASF distribute [them] to the world,\u201d Kristenson said.\r\n\r\nFor her, this means making complex SAR data more GIS friendly. ASF provides on-demand services that generate analysis-ready datasets. It also publishes EGIS image services to support access to SAR data.\r\n\r\nHowever, there is still a learning curve to understanding the characteristics of SAR imagery. Unlike conventional optical imaging, SAR uses longer wavelengths to image the Earth. Radar backscatter characterizes different surface properties than optical data, and SAR images include speckle\u2014granular, salt-and-pepper features that mask fine details. Kristenson publishes ArcGIS StoryMaps tutorials, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/stories\/c8f85d20b73c48fd8e89f8eef49bc60b\"><em>NISAR in GIS<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/stories\/2ead3222d2294d1fae1d11d3f98d7c35\"><em>RTC On Demand!<\/em><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/stories\/dc2807b444924fc3a76c117a2c909f8b\"><em>OPERA Sentinel-1 RTC<\/em><\/a>, to help GIS practitioners access, understand, and use SAR data."},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[773738,773739]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"The spectral resolution provided by the PACE and EMIT missions also yields large and complex files that are challenging to import and use. To serve the GIS community, these missions have teamed up with Esri to create instructional content on importing and working with hyperspectral data in ArcGIS. Two resources\u2014an <a href=\"https:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/stories\/452e0ca62ef043fa9168dd45d4d70f28\">ArcGIS StoryMaps story<\/a> and an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-living-atlas\/imagery\/explore-nasa-pace-data-with-arcgis\"><em>ArcGIS Blog<\/em> article<\/a>\u2014detail the powerful hyperspectral-data support features being added to ArcGIS.\r\n<h2>The Impact of GIS-Ready Satellite Data<\/h2>\r\nBringing NASA data into the ArcGIS environment enables organizations across sectors to use it. And they don\u2019t need special processing software, extensive computing power, or manual file conversions to get there.\r\n\r\n\u201cThis hosting model allows organizations to connect directly to these trusted data sources without incurring additional storage or transfer costs,\u201d Dockstader emphasized.\r\n\r\nFor commercial users, the ability to easily integrate NASA data with their proprietary workflows is a game changer. For example, an insurance company could use NISAR data to assess flood damage. An agricultural firm could use EMIT\u2019s hyperspectral imagery to monitor crop health and forecast yields. A regional fishery could employ PACE data to observe potentially harmful algal blooms and engage in proactive, risk-based management.\r\n\r\nThe accessibility of these datasets enables precise, scalable decision-making. Plus, NASA\u2019s long-term, high-quality, and consistent data archives offer the kind of reliable foundation for advanced predictive analytics and AI applications.\r\n<h2>A New Era of Problem-Solving<\/h2>\r\nBy transforming complex scientific data into analysis-ready products\u2014hosted in ArcGIS and the cloud\u2014NASA and Esri are giving decision-makers powerful intelligence to address ongoing challenges.\r\n\r\n\u201cThis is a really exciting time,\u201d Chadwick reflected. \u201cThese sensors provide new and different data than what we\u2019ve had in the past. If we can help people work with [this] data, it can support a lot of different applications.\u201d\r\n\r\nWhile these datasets are useful for government agencies, commercial organizations can also benefit from them. By making it more accessible to GIS users, NASA ensures that insights gathered from space can have a tangible impact here on Earth."},{"acf_fc_layout":"sidebar","layout":"standard","image_reference":null,"image_reference_figure":"","spotlight_image":null,"section_title":"","spotlight_name":"","position":"Center","content":"Start working with NASA datasets now in <a href=\"https:\/\/livingatlas.arcgis.com\/en\/home\/\">ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World<\/a>.
