“Spatial Agent” is an app that helps visualize and map an increasing array of open public domain data (thousands of datasets from more than 300 institutions). Data includes statistical information, ground-based monitoring, satellite earth observation and model outputs (e.g. climate change projections) visualized in innovative ways.

The app is available in iOS or Android from the iOS AppStore / Google PlayStore or here.
