AND this year's meeting registration is complimentary! #EsriOceanForum

Happy Friday! A @wakelet Twitter compilation of this week's #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum posts now available at http://bit.ly/2NtdjZE cc @seabed2030 @mapthegaps

Great energy in the new #Esri GeoExperience Center at Esri HQ as part of the #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

Great to hear now from Peter Trevelyan of the UK Met Office on the environmental data retrieval API at the #EsriOceanAtmoForum climate/weather special interest group. Using technology to tell us useful things about weather! #EsriOceanForum

Important #bigdata climate/weather/ocean live feeds and their special features from the @LivingAtlas as presented by @danpisut #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

Super critical data sharing Qs, regarding weather/climate (e.g., ocean surface (vector) winds): (1) how will it be used in a GIS workflow? (2) how often will it be updated? (3) how many people will use it? Great guidance from @danpisut et al. #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

Great turnout for #EsriOceanAtmoForum Climate and Weather Special Interest Group meeting, starting with “Strategis for Serving Atmospheric and Multi-Dimensional Data” especially via the @LivingAtlas #EsriOceanForum

The importance interface between the #blueeconomy #bluetech #EsriOceanForum and the UN SDGs via @TMA_BlueTech @UNSDG2030 @UNESCAP and more .. #EsriOceanForum #EsriOceanAtmoForum

TEACH SDGs To help reach our goal of actively supporting and enhancing the work of the United Nations' efforts within K-12 classrooms, our TeachSDGs organization contributes to the 2030 Agenda in the following...

There is #blueeconomy #bluetech and also #blueSTEM, for creating the next generation of people caring about the ocean and the water For example see http://teachsdgs.org #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

#BlueTech is “all things wet” but they need data, including geospatial data! Says @TMA_BlueTech #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

Key to the #blueeconomy and to #bluetech is a CLUSTER, in order to be heard and to take effective action for “people, planet, & profit” (via @TMA_BlueTech) #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

“Everything we throw away now needs to be re-USED. We have to change our thinking!...We HAVE the technology now!” Via @TMA_BlueTech (cc Sebastian at @saildrone) See below 👇🏾 from #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

How big is the #blueeconomy REALLY? We still don’t know! We do know it’s “big” and it’s part of why, for example, China is focused on the South China Sea... via @TMA_BlueTech at the #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

How to get the politicians interested? It’s the economic side, the jobs side, the #blueeconomy #bluetech side that is key. So pleased to have the amazing Michael B. Jones @TMA_BlueTech to enlighten us at the #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum https://www.bluetechweek.org

Well said by @EsriOceans: “We are evolving to the place where people are going to be able to get to their data without ever knowing there is a ‘sport’ called GIS” #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

And the data and PEOPLE **integration** work of UN ESCAP is really important. See their slide below 👇🏾 #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

Love the continuing theme and message of ACTION in Gemma Van Halderen’s conclusion to her UN ESCAP talk and throughout the #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum, as well as @UNSDG2030 @GEOBluePlanet and more! Cc @JaneLubchenco

UN ESCAP Pacific Accounting Portal showing top 5 species caught and sold from Pacific by countries, including this interesting comparison between USA 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦 #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

A quick demo of the evolving UN ESCAP Pacific Accounting Portal at Http://portal-test-escap.hub.org with #storymaps therein one showing spatial accounting units based on Ecological Marine Units #EMUs #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

The UN ESCAP team calls this a “jackpot,” full integration of 26 public datasets into their Pacific Accounting Portal as an important start AND linking to the SDG hub at http://SDG.org #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum @ArcGISHub

Nice input and full integration of many data sources and approaches, including @OceanHealthIndx into UN ESCAP’s new Pacific Accounting Portal (using @ArcGISHub) #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

Love this variation on the @UNSDG2030 grid: “Life below water, makes life above it possible” #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum cc @GEOBluePlanet

Speaking of @ArcGISHub, we are very pleased to hear now from Gemma Van Halderan of the Stats Div of @UN’s Economic & Social Commission for Asia & the Pacific (ESCAP) who in 3 months have already built a Portal based on Hub and w/ #StoryMaps #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

Q: What is the biggest surprise seen with @ArcGISHub? A: How creative and amazing the sites are that users are creating, with more & more engagement in communities, as well as the evolution to hub of hubs #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

It’s all about engagement and action with @ArcGISHub! This what an “initiative” means. People can “follow” or “join” these initiatives too, even with mini EventBrites (premium version) #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

So funny because I’m not sure if Brenda saw what was going on behind her as she inserted my Twitter feed. 🤣 #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

Did you know that you can build beautiful web sites just with @ArcGISHub? See below or one of the @Earth_Challenge sites I mentioned yesterday’s plenary, https://plastics-ec2020.hub.arcgis.com #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum #DYK cc @EarthDayNetwork

Coming soon to @ArcGISHub will be the ability to upload data directly to the hub without using @ArcGISOnline and then it will be incorporated into @ArcGISOnline #EsriOceanAtmoForum #EsriOceanForum

Moving from the “deep weeds” of technology at #EsriOceanAtmoForum to the VALUE of technology for society! And a big part of this is understanding and using @ArcGISHub, the basic version of which ALREADY comes with @ArcGISOnline (thank you Brenda Wolfe #EsriProud #EsriOceanForum)
