Blue Raster joins the world in honoring Dr. Jane Goodall, whose vision united people, nature, and technology. Through collaborations with the Jane Goodall Institute, we’ve supported her mission with GIS tools and StoryMaps that connect local conservation efforts to global impact. Her legacy continues to inspire data-driven action for the planet.
National Geographic’s World Water Map, enriched by Blue Raster, brings 40+ years of water demand data and future projections into the classroom. Using ArcGIS Online, interactive maps, and Python automation, the Atlas helps students explore water demand and water gaps through 2050. This engaging GIS resource supports geographic learning and builds awareness of global water challenges.
Blue Raster partnered with Climate Central to support the development of FloodVision, an ArcGIS Experience Builder application that helps communities visualize future flood risks from sea level rise and storm events. By integrating advanced imagery, cloud storage, and custom data workflows, the tool transforms complex climate data into clear, local insights that support planning, education, and resilience
Launched in 2021, the Land Emissions and Removals Navigator (LEARN) Tool was designed to help communities easily measure greenhouse gas
Our latest collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab – Space Enabled Research group and Fight Toxic Prisons (FTP), is a participatory research initiative designed to shed light on the environmental hazards faced by prisons, jails, and detention centers across the United States.
On Friday April 19th the White House announced the launch of Conservation.gov, an information hub supporting locally led efforts to
Blue Raster excels in tapping into the full potential of ArcGIS for imagery hosting, analysis, and delivery workflows across ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Pro, and ArcGIS Online. With ArcGIS Image Server and ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online, we enable organizations to host and conduct dynamic imagery analysis on an unprecedented scale.
Blue Raster is pleased to release the new build for the LEARN (Land Emissions and Removals Navigator) Tool. Built in partnership with Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI) and the World Resources Institute (WRI), the LEARN Tool allows for community inventorying of the effects of land use change on greenhouse gas emissions. This tool empowers policy makers, local governments, and community members to make informed decisions on environmental and climate policy.
Audubon has partnered with Blue Raster to create the Bird Migration Explorer- an immersive application that teaches users about the joy of migration. By mapping the over 450 bird species, and visualizing the conservation needs of high priority areas, the Bird Migration Explorer tells the stories of birds across the hemisphere. This application is designed to excite, engage and inform a variety of users from birders to conservationists to researchers. Blue Raster helped make this application a reality by configuring, publishing, and visualizing data.
Blue Raster developed the Mekong Dam Monitor to provide unprecedented transparency of the flow of water and conditions of dams and reservoirs along the Mekong River. Using satellite data as well as weather and water gauge data, the monitor provides visibility into what is happening upstream, giving a comprehensive near-real time view of the current state of the Mekong basin along with historic conditions. This allows people all along the river and those advocating for more equitable and sustainable use of the river to understand and plan for changes in the levels of the river.
