How can #GIS help in climate action? Take a look at this web app I created using ArcGIS online after creating and analyzing a 3D model of #MiamiBeach and identifying buildings that will be affected by #sealevelrise by 2050 and 2090 in ArcGIS Pro. This is part of a #mooctraining on GIS for Climate Action by #Esri. Let me know your thoughts.

Kindly visualize this 3D Scene showing buildings that will be affected by sea level rise at 2030, 2050 and 2090 as a result of climate change in the City of Miami Beach. This was done from an exercise in an ongoing Esri MOOC titled GIS for Climate Action. #climatechange #climateaction

I participated in Esri's GIS for Climate Action MOOC, gaining valuable experience in creating sea level rise scenarios. One of the most engaging exercises involved analyzing Miami Beach's vulnerability to rising sea levels. Climate change is a pressing issue for coastal communities like Miami Beach. Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), scenarios based on historical greenhouse gas emissions, help us visualize potential future impacts. In this exercise, I used the intermediate-high SSP scenario to model sea level rise for 2030, 2050, and 2090. This data could be crucial for Miami Beach to plan a more resilient future. By leveraging a 3D model of the city and sea level rise data from ArcGIS Living Atlas, I identified areas at risk. This includes not only buildings but also critical infrastructure like roads. Understanding these potential impacts can empower Miami Beach to take proactive measures like raising seawalls, elevating buildings, and investing in flood protection systems. I'm proud to have honed my GIS skills to contribute to climate action. This project highlights the power of GIS to help coastal communities build resilience. #climateMOOC #climateaction #MiamiBeach #sealevelrise #GIS #Esri

NOAA’s sea level rise data was integrated into a 3D model with ArcGIS Pro, identifying at-risk buildings. Spatial analysis calculated inundation years, and results were visualized to highlight concerns. 3D tools explored why some buildings remain unaffected. GIS analysis is crucial for proactive climate action and urban resilience. Relating this analysis to the Kenyan context which was recently hit by severe flooding, I believe we could greatly benefit from such advanced spatial analysis to plan and mitigate future risks. https://lnkd.in/drSRhs_Q 🚀 #GIS #ClimateAction #SeaLevelRise #ArcGISPro #EsriMOOC #SpatialAnalysis #ResilientCities #Kenya#George.K.

Okay Gods moving fast - So how do you save areas that have so much historical meaning before the towns are overcome with water again? We have accomplished before better solutions now. Waterworks first film score - building water worlds for preservation of people places and planets. It won’t be that bad if we can hurry up the laws of space and get going on that day physical shield of protection signed by treaties or instead of the human race lets go with a reversed check mate where the end position is agreed upon and we work backwards to overcome it. 🪐 watch jupiters moons atmosphere rising as the floods go into their new directions of flow NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration

Diving deep into spatial data for climate-resilient ecological restoration has become my new endeavor. Thanks to ESRI's "GIS for Climate Action" course, I'm now exploring advanced tools to visualize climate risks and their impacts on projects. One of my exercises involved using these tools to forecast sea level rise impacts on Miami's coast. This exercise utilizes a "3D scene" to incorporate real-world elements, such as terrain movement and the 3D extent of features like trees and buildings, making the visualization more interactive. I’m excited to apply this toolkit to my work in ecology and conservation. https://lnkd.in/gV3XWAQE #GIS #ESRI #climateMOOC #climatechange #arcgis

Coastal Cities

Something incredible -- a true story of hope -- happened this week: the Chilean government met with Kristine Tompkins, co-founder of Tompkins Conservation, and Fundación Rewilding Chile, to sign a protocol agreement to create a new national park on the southernmost time of the Earth called the Cape Froward National Park. This establishes the creation of a new protected area of over 300,000 acres, similar to the size of Grand Teton National Park in the United States. It is a rugged region and refuge for highly endangered species, a transitional ecosystem between land and sea, where diverse marine life, including Magellanic penguins, Peale’s dolphins, and Sei and humpback whales, feed off nutrients provided by the Antarctic, Pacific and Atlantic currents and coasts are lined with dense kelp forest. Subantarctic forest covers nearly half of the proposed donation area, which also features 24,710 acres of peatlands, an ecosystem considered critical to carbon storage and climate change mitigation. I am deeply honored to have been able to contribute my part to the funding of this new protected area.

#StretchSection3SeaLevelRise  #ARCGIS Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are crucial in identifying, preparing for, and mitigating the impacts of climate-related hazards. GIS helps in mapping vulnerable areas, analyzing climate data, and predicting potential hazards. It aids in emergency response planning, evacuation route optimization, and resource allocation during disasters. GIS also facilitates risk assessment, enabling better decision-making for hazard mitigation strategies. Additionally, GIS supports long-term planning by visualizing climate change trends and their potential effects on different regions, allowing for proactive measures to reduce vulnerability. I will post a link for all to see my first 3D mapping created by ARCGIS Pro software. In ArcGIS Pro, we work with 3D data in scenes. In a scene, we can visualize and analyze 3D data using functionality such as viewing modes and illumination properties. By adding 3D data to a scene, we can create a 3D model of our study area. The area of study in this map is Miami Beach, a coastal city in the state of Florida in the United States. The city of Miami Beach aims to visualize and analyze the future impact of sea level rise on its community. https://lnkd.in/dj5irJfG
