Improved earth observation and geospatial techniques have improved the ability to measure nitrogen dioxide at ground level. Scientists are utilizing big data techniques that leverage modern GPS and tracking capabilities and can be combined with machine learning techniques to gain a better understanding of how animals migrate globally. Researchers have developed a high resolution flood map for the United States. Using arrays of underwater microphones, called hydrophones, scientists can use sound to create images of the environment by converting sound waves to electrical signals. New methods can detect location names from historical maps, make them searchable, and allow for the automated extraction of geographic data from those maps. This lesson demonstrates how to use spatial data science and remote sensing techniques in ArcGIS Pro to predict soil erosion from a catchment using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE).Measuring Nitrogen Dioxide Levels in Urban Zones using Geospatial Methods
