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
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.
We are proud to work in partnership with the Space Enabled Research Group at the MIT Media Lab and East
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.
Global Forest Watch Fires (GFW Fires) is an online platform for monitoring and responding to forest and land fires using near real-time data. New features and tools make it easier to respond to fires, increase enforcement against illegal fires, and coordinate relationships between government agencies.
Blue Raster recently collaborated with New America on a story map highlighting city and community connectedness across the US. The story map looks at 25 different community focused networks working to help cities and counties solve a wide-range of challenges including climate change, criminal justice, and homelessness.
