Interactive access and visualization of geospatial data from the AWS Open Data Program

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.
