ESA launches two climate observation satellites.

The European Space Agency has put two satellites into orbit to take a closer look at the impact of climate change. One of them will focus particularly on plant life.

“The National Geodetic Survey has spent years building a replacement for the reference system that fixes every published position in the country. New geodetic-control submissions into the old system stop being accepted after January 13, 2027…
Every official latitude, longitude and height published in the United States is going to change, by as much as four metres. The ground being described will not have moved at all. What is being replaced is the reference system those numbers are counted from.
The National Geodetic Survey is retiring the North American Datum of 1983 [NAD83] and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 [NGVD88.] Those are the horizontal and vertical reference systems that currently underpin surveying, flood mapping, construction and aviation across the country. In their place will come four new terrestrial reference frames and one new geopotential datum. The agency has kept the national reference system since its predecessor, the Survey of the Coast, was founded in 1807.
|| The reference surface is what is changing ||
... A coordinate is not a property of a place; it is a measurement of that place against an agreed reference surface. The United States is changing the reference surface. The four metres is the gap between two descriptions of the same unmoved point.
That figure is not uniform either, and the agency does not present it as a single national number. Its guidance says the magnitude of change depends on which datum a user currently works in, where in the country they are, and which epoch the new coordinates refer to. Four metres is the outer edge of the range. NGS publishes separate maps for ellipsoid height change, orthometric height change, and horizontal change on the North American and Pacific plates…”

🚨 FEMA’s Hazus v7.2 Is Here — A Major Upgrade For Disaster Risk Modeling
--
https://www.fema.gov/flood-maps/products-tools/hazus <-- shared link to FEMA HAZUS download, documentation, use case, etc

[I used to work some with Hazus back in the back, but my career changed path; I still appreciate its strength and unity of purpose (sic) #alldataisspatial]
H/T @Laban "L.J." Johnson | Founder, LJ Learn & Concordia Initiative | Crisis Support · Leadership Development · Community Resilience | Bridging worlds to help people rise
“FEMA’s Hazus GIS platform has been updated with a new ArcGIS Pro–based version, bringing faster, more powerful tools for estimating losses from floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural hazards.
Key updates in Hazus 7.2 include:
• Streamlined workflows for flood and hurricane modeling
• New Earthquake ShakeMap integration using USGS data
• Expanded and improved results exports and reporting (including geodatabase outputs)
• Stronger security with known vulnerabilities addressed
• Performance improvements and optimized installation process
• [Significantly enhanced and comprehensive summary reports for flood and earthquake are now available for download.]
• Full integration with ArcGIS Pro (3.4–3.6) for a modern GIS experience
This release represents a significant step forward in how hazard planners, emergency managers, and GIS professionals analyze and prepare for disaster impacts…”

“FEMA’s Hazus program provides software, data, methods, and guidance for estimating risk from natural hazards. Hazus can estimate building damages, economic losses, displaced households, casualties, debris generation and more resulting from a natural hazard event and can be used in all phases of emergency management…”
