Geography: Datasets & Web Mapping

• For more details on content and access, see the ArcGIS Online page.
• For support using ArcGIS online, contact the DREAM Lab.
• The UCSB Library provides a university-wide site license for the Esri suite of GIS software. This includes desktop and server software, ArcGIS Online, extensive cloud-based data services such as image analysis and address geocoding.
• Datasets include census information from many different countries, detailed consumer data for the United States (Tapestry Layers) and other countries, near real-time traffic information for several regions around the world, and global soil and elevation datasets. 
   

There are three methods of access:

• A web application is available on campus and off-campus via the VPN or the proxy server. We strongly recommend the campus VPN; LandScan is much less stable via proxy
• Desktop GIS users can access the dataset from inside your applications via these two URLs:
  • WMS
  • WCS 

Additional information is available directly from EastView. LandScan is produced by Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
