Open data is reshaping how we understand and respond to global challenges. From climate change to disaster recovery, the ability to access and analyze large-scale geospatial datasets is critical for scientific research, policy-making, and real-world applications. Leading the charge are several open data initiatives designed to lower access barriers and accelerate innovation: Open Data on AWS, the Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative (ASDI), and the Maxar Open Data Program on AWS. Together, these programs demonstrate the power of cloud-enabled open data to democratize access to geospatial information, promote global collaboration, and drive real-world impact. In this post, we demonstrate how to explore and visualize these datasets using interactive web applications and Jupyter notebooks.

Kansas State University (K-State)—In collaboration with AWS and AWS Partner, ROK Technologies—is developing Geocat: a scalable, cloud-native ArcGIS Enterprise platform. Designed to serve students, faculty, and extension professionals, Geocat is advancing K-State’s land-grant mission by making cutting-edge geospatial infrastructure accessible across the university and beyond.

In this post, we discuss how to use datasets in the Registry of Open Data on AWS with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases. With Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, you can give foundation models (FMs) and agents contextual information from private and public data sources to deliver more relevant, accurate, and customized responses.

Through the AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program, customers are making over 300 PB of high-value, cloud-optimized data available for public use. All publicly available datasets can be found in the Registry of Open Data on AWS and are now also discoverable on Exchange. This quarter, AWS released 66 new or updated datasets.

Many government agencies, like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), participate in the AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program. In this post, we discuss how to use NOAA datasets in the Registry of Open Data on AWS using Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases.

The AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS works with data providers to democratize access to data by making it available to the public for analysis on AWS; develop new cloud-based techniques, formats, and tools that lower the cost of working with data; and encourage the development of communities that benefit from access to shared datasets. The full list of publicly available datasets are on the Registry of Open Data on AWS and are now also discoverable on AWS Data Exchange. This quarter, AWS released 53 new or updated datasets and you can learn more about them in this post.

Through this program, customers are making over 100 petabytes (PB) of high-value, cloud-optimized data available for public use. This quarter, AWS released 39 new or updated datasets.

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on AWS. Through this program, customers are making more than 100 petabytes (PB) of high-value, cloud-optimized data available for public use. This past quarter, AWS released 21 new or updated datasets. What will you build with these datasets?

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on AWS. Through this program, customers are making more than 100 petabytes (PB) of high-value, cloud-optimized data available for public use. Read this blog post to learn about the 34 new or updated datasets that were released in the first quarter.

Open source geospatial artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) analyses along with Internet of Things (IoT)-connected sensors can power near real-time data built on the cloud and assist in decision-making. Read this blog post to learn how Amazon Web Services (AWS) is supporting the Government of Pará, Brazil, in designing and deploying SeloVerde (Green Seal), a cutting-edge tool to address climate change challenges and traceability in deforestation-risk supply chains.
