NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) released a new open source and science tool called the Multi-Mission Algorithm and Analysis Platform (MAAP). Mapping ocean currents and understanding how they vary is critical for geographers and scientists, especially as our globe changes. Qiusheng Wu explains how to make a 60-second satellite timelapse of any location on the globe. Remote sensing techniques, particularly those based on satellite, drone, and aircraft data, have revolutionized collecting ecosystem data. Scientists from have created a collaborative effort, called the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN), which aims to map and protect large areas of fungi. This tutorial demonstrates a shoreline extraction strategy in ArcGIS Pro by explaning how to use the Tasseled Cap and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to automatically delineate shoreline using the Landsat toolkit.Open-Source Science in the Cloud Collaboration
