ProjectsProjects

• Wide Area Grid (WAG)

• Innovation project by NASU– Supported by NASA and UN-SPIDER

• Namibian Pilot project on integrated flood management and water related vector borne disease modelling– Joint effort of UN-SPIDER, NASA,

NOAA, DLR and SRI NASU-NSAU

• Earth Science (ES) Specialized Support Center (SSC) within EGEE

5

WAGWAG

• Initiated by Paul Kopp (CNES)• To integrate capabilities of space agencies to

share computational and informational resources

• Study of middleware was completed by CNES– Globus Toolkit v4 was selected as a basic

middleware

• Bilateral Ukraine-Chinese project – WAG Implementation– To integrate Grid platforms with the use of Web

service approach, e.g. through Globus Toolkit services

6

• Title: “Geo-information infrastructure for environmental monitoring and emergency response”

• Goals– Creation of UN-SPIDER Regional Support Office in Ukraine– Workflow for flood mapping automation

• Funded by the National Academyof Sciences of Ukraine

• Collaborators– UN-SPIDER – NASA

InnovatiInnovativeve Project Project

Namibian Flood PilotNamibian Flood Pilot

• Flood/Disease SensorWeb Technical Interchange Workshop– Organised by UNOOSA /

UN-SPIDER – Bonn, Germany, 25-27

August 2009

• Goals– data integration within a

transboundary flood management system for local decision makers

– to explore possibilities of water related vector borne disease modelling

Earth Science (ES) Specialized Earth Science (ES) Specialized Support Center (SSC)Support Center (SSC)

• Within EGEE and the furtherEuropean Grid Infrastructure (EGI)

• Disciplines– EO, informatics, environment, climate, seismology,

civil protection, atmosphere, hydrology, meteorology, …

• GEOSS and CEOS promotion– presentation of GEOSS and CEOS activities was

given at EGEE09 Conference (Barcelona, Spain, Sept 2009)

Earth Science (ES) Specialized Earth Science (ES) Specialized Support Center (SSC) cont.Support Center (SSC) cont.

• VO-specific Services– ES specific applications

(e.g. MM5, WRF, ..)– Access/interfaces from/to existing ES community

infrastructures– Specific site services (runtime environments,

mathematical and ES libraries, IDL etc)– HPC support– Support for complex workflows– Resource reservation (operational and risk

management)– Our responsibility: Access to Satellite Data and

Sensors from Grid
