What is GEOSS?
Comprehensive Coordinated Sustained An end-to-end
system of existing systems (both in situ and
remote sensing observation platforms)linked with
new systems

Societal Benefits of GEOSS
Terrestrial, Coastal Marine Ecosystems
Water Resources
Natural Human Induced Disasters
Sustainable Agriculture Desertification
Energy Resources
Human Health Well-Being
Biodiversity
Weather Information, Forecasting Warning
Climate Variability Change

Earth Observations Value Agriculture
  • Drought costs in U.S. 6-8B annually

6
Earth Observations Value Health
  • Malaria killed est. 1M people in 2004

7
Earth Observations Value Energy
8
Earth Observations Value Disaster Mitigation
FLOATS
BUOYS
Better ocean observations more accurate
forecasts effective warnings
GAUGES

GEOSS Implementation
  • Data Management Needs
  • New systems mean 100-fold increase in data
  • Current systems already face challenges
  • Development of browser and visualization systems
    underpinned by core geospatial technologies
  • Interoperability through protocols and standards

GEO IGeneva, Switzerland
  • First meeting of new GEO at WMO headquarters in
    early May
  • Iceland recognized as newest member of growing
    effort
  • GEO agreed to 12 member Executive Committee
  • Africa (2), Americas (3), Asia and Oceania (3),
    Commonwealth of Independent States (1), Europe
    (3)
  • Co-Chairs US, EC (developed) China, South
    Africa (developing)

Other National Earth Observation Efforts
  • Other countries are following the lead of the US
    and Europe in developing their own national
    integration structures
  • Canada
  • China
  • Japan
  • Morocco
  • South Africa
