To support these goals, Esri’s offering, being previewed at the event, gives users access to Microsoft Planetary Computer. This multi-petabyte catalog of global environmental data will be directly accessible from ArcGIS Pro, Esri’s comprehensive image analysis software. Features will include:

• A user interface in addition to options for scripting and notebooks.
• A set of ready-to-use analysis tools and raster functions built for change detection, time series analysis, deep learning, and more.
• On-the-fly processing.
• The ability for users to share their tradecraft via models, dashboards, custom apps, and more once research is complete.
• New image services, such as the full Sentinel-1 archive. This expands on the Sentinel-2 Level-2A, Landsat 8 and 9 Level-2, and Sentinel-2 10m Land Use/Land Cover Timeseries already in the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World.

Esri experts are on hand to demonstrate this new collection of data for attendees.
