The CDC\u2019s Vaccinate with Confidence strategy will employ digital tools to give communities more resources for communicating the value vaccines hold in stopping the spread of preventable diseases."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":493932,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h3>Esri North Africa Brings the Latest Technology to the Region<\/h3>\r\nIn partnership with Alkan CIT, Esri established Esri North Africa, LLC (Esri NA), as the sole distributor of ArcGIS technology for Egypt, Libya, Sudan, South Sudan, and Chad. Esri NA will bring the latest GIS technology to these markets, raising geospatial awareness, supporting customers in building effective geospatial strategies, providing Esri-certified training courses, and establishing a strong partner network. The focus for the region will be on national security, utilities, telecommunications, oil and gas, transportation, education, and other promising industries.\r\n<h3>Esri Education Manager Receives Prestigious Geography Education Award<\/h3>\r\nEsri education manager Tom Baker received the National Council for Geographic Education (NCGE) President\u2019s Award for 2021. The award, given out at the discretion of the organization\u2019s president, honors Baker\u2019s service in promoting and improving geography education, as well as his recent collaboration in creating the NCGE Resource Library (library.ncge.org), which features curated geography education content from teachers around the United States.\r\n<h3>Join Your GIS Peers in Esri Community<\/h3>\r\nArcGIS users can turn to Esri Community to find solutions, share ideas, and collaborate to solve problems with GIS. Members can join groups with others who share their interests in specific products, industries, services, ideas, and other related topics. Visit community.esri.com\/ to join at no charge.\r\n<h3>Cloud-Hosted Geospatial Technology Makes Imagery Data Easy to Consume<\/h3>\r\nTo satisfy a growing demand for this data, Microsoft has teamed with Esri to rapidly analyze imagery data captured by satellite providers in space orbit. Esri\u2019s ArcGIS Image technology will provide processing and analysis on imagery hosted in Azure Orbital, Microsoft\u2019s satellite Ground Station as a Service. This enables seamless application and use of Azure services such as compute, storage, and AI fast data processing.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":493922,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h3>SAS-ArcGIS Bridge Is a Geoprocessing Tool That Runs SAS<\/h3>\r\nTo help integrate ArcGIS and SAS, the SAS-ArcGIS Bridge includes Python modules that make it possible to run SAS analytics directly within ArcGIS Pro.

For his research and environmental activism, he received many of the world\u2019s leading honors including two Pulitzer Prizes. Wilson was a great supporter of GIS and spoke at the Esri User Conference in 1994 and 2019. The goal of his Half-Earth Project, an initiative of the nonprofit E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation, is to protect half the earth\u2019s lands and seas to preserve 85 percent or more of the planet\u2019s biodiversity and reverse the current species extinction crisis."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":493912,"image_position":"right","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""}],"references":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Briefly Noted<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"CDC chooses Esri to promote vaccine confidence; biodiversity champion Edward O.
