This guide outlines recommended strategies and corresponding configurations aimed at enhancing the security stance of ArcGIS Enterprise deployments, as advised by Esri. Intended for organizations considering either new installations of ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1 and beyond or existing deployments, it serves as a resource for administrators, systems architects, and security engineers to ensure that their ArcGIS Enterprise setup adheres to best practices and is effectively secured. ref: https://lnkd.in/d3ZpR35Y #esri #esripartner #gis #agol #geography #geospatialdata #geosciences #geogis #geosciences #earthobservation #dashboard #dashboarddesign #gisapplication #gisdeveloper #gissystems #geogis #mapping

Very useful tutorial on how to use TNM on your GIS app!

Landsat: Long-running program with moderate spatial resolution (30m), focusing on long-term environmental and land cover changes. Sentinel: Newer European program with higher resolution (10m), more frequent revisits (5 days), and a broader suite of missions designed for specific environmental monitoring tasks.

Good to know

better yet you can combine the 2 to get ya extra insights

Geospatial Analysts - Which is better? Landsat versus Sentinel ✔ 01 | 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Landsat: spatial resolution of 30 meters Sentinel: provides higher resolution with 10 to 20 meters ✔ 02 | 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Landsat: 16-day revisit time per satellite Sentinel: 5-day revisit time ✔ 03 | 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 Landsat: 11 spectral bands Sentinel: 13 spectral bands ✔ 04 | 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 Landsat: Freely accessible through GEE and USGS Sentinel: Freely available via Copernicus Open Access Hub, and GEE ✔ 05 | 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 Landsat: For long-term environmental monitoring Sentinel: For high-resolution agricultural monitoring ⛔ 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: What is better depends on the focus of your study and the application. #RemoteSensing #EnvironmentalMapping #SatelliteImageryForGIS #MonitoringLandUseChange #GeospatialDataApplicationsToday #EarthObservationSatelliteDataAnalysis #LandsatAndSentinelComparisonForRemoteSensing 🔄

A very useful comparison between Landsat and Sentinel satellites.

The study of Geomatics is essential as it integrates various disciplines like surveying, GIS, and remote sensing, providing comprehensive skills for spatial data analysis and management. In Papua New Guinea, Geomatics is particularly relevant due to its diverse geography, aiding in natural resource management, land administration, and disaster planning. Subjects in Geomatics typically include: 1.Surveying:Techniques for measuring and mapping the Earth's surface. 2.Geographic Information Systems (GIS):Spatial data analysis and mapping using technology. 3.Remote Sensing:Gathering information about the Earth's surface from aerial or satellite-based platforms. 4. Cartography: Map design and production. 5. Geodesy:Study of the Earth's shape, gravity field, and rotation. These subjects equip professionals with skills to address geographical challenges, making them valuable contributors to industries in Papua New Guinea, such as mining, agriculture, and urban planning. #geomatics #gisanalyst #land_surveying #remote_sensing #Land_administration.
