CEOS SIT-28NASA - Langley12-14 March 2013

Created in 2005, to develop a coordinated and sustained Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) to enhance decision making in nine Societal Benefit Areas (SBAs)

•Improve and Coordinate Observation Systems

•Advance Broad Open Data Policies/Practices

•Foster Increased Use of EO Data and Information

•Build Capacity

GEO Objectives

GEO 2012-15 WP – Rev 2

• Incorporates technical & official comments from GEO community during summer 2012 & recommendations of 2012 WPS

• No major change to Rev 1 (Dec 2011):

(i) Two Task Components created under the Global Land Cover Task

(ii) Two Task Components removed (Carbon Capture and Sequestration & Ecosystem Capital Accounting)

(iii) Four Disaster Task Components merged into two

(iv) Task Leads updated, Task Descriptions & Priority Actions refined, and Resources Available for Implementation amended

Work Plan Symposium“Demonstrating GEOSS Added Value: Sprint to

Summit”4-6 June in Geneva

Objectives•Advance the Sprint to Summit initiative•Develop cross-cutting demonstrators for Ministerial Summit & GEO-X Plenary•Strengthen synergies across Tasks and accelerate GEOSS implementation•Inform the Work Plan community of recent progress (outputs and activities)•Develop practical recommendations for the 2014 Work Plan update (Task descriptions and contents)•Collectively address issues and gaps•Improve Component Sheet contents

Implementation boards meetings 3 & 6-7 June

Ministerial Summit 17 January 2014

1.Post-2015 WG -> CEOS

2.Ministerial WG -> CEOS

3.Sprint to Summit -> CEOS

Towards 2015

Sprint to Summit

• Joint Implementation Boards initiative

• Accelerated improvement of user experience of GEOSS

• Showcases (videos): added value of GEOSS & GEO

• Wider access to EO resources

• Increasing capacity of developing countries to use & benefit from EO

• Capabilities of GEOSS to be demonstrated include:

• Search, discovery & access to priority EO data (GEOSS DataCORE)

• Dissemination techniques (GEO Portal, GEONETCast, Community Portals)

• Action plan & dedicated action teams

• AIP-6 will contribute substantially

• Dialogue with Ministerial Working Group

Priorities 2013

• Coordinated data acquisitions, data access & R&D support for  - GFOI  - GEOGLAM  - Disasters & Supersites

• Sprint To Summit

• Architecture for Climate Mon from Space & Impl of response to GCOS IP

• Increasing developing countries benefits from GEOSS, in line with AfriGEOSS

• Increased coordination of in-situ networks and access to in-situ data

• Easier access to satellite data

• Supporting– WP management (TCs & PoCs)– Implementation Boards– Working Groups (Post-2015, Ministerial, DS)

• Bring GEO Secretariat to full staff complement -> Second experts
