The Global Framework A distributed system of systems Improves coordination of strategies and observation systems Links all platforms: in situ, aircraft, and satellite networks Identifies gaps in our global capacity Facilitates exchange of data and information Improves decision-makers’ abilities to address pressing policy issues The Earth is an integrated system. All the processes that influence conditions on the Earth, whether ecological, biological, climatological, or geological, are linked, and impact one another. Therefore, Earth observing systems are strengthened when data collection and analysis are achieved in an integrated manner. Right now, 52 countries have come together – at the highest political levels – to develop such a system. The basic tenets of such a system are listed here [SEE SLIDE]. Slide # 3

GEOSS Architecture and Data Committee Interests ADC oversees 30+ tasks from the GEO work plan related to common architecture and data management Primary architecture tasks include: AR-07-01: Establishes common operational resources for GEOSS architecture AR-07-02: Pilots the development of GEOSS Web Portal and Clearinghouse capabilities and tests architectural design Slide # 4

Why GEOSS? GEOSS-Global System To Meet Societal Needs Interdisciplinary focus An integrated international system using remote sensing & in situ systems Foundation for sound decision-making: global, regional, & local level Social, Economic, & Science Concerns More than half the world’s population lives within 60 km of the shoreline, & this could rise to 3/4 by the year 2020 More than 90% of natural disaster-related deaths occur in developing countries 25% of Earth’s biological productivity & an estimated 80-90% of global commercial fish catch is concentrated in coastal zones Worldwide agricultural benefits of better El Niño forecasts are conservatively estimated at $450-$550M/year Slide # 13

GEO Societal Benefit Areas Disasters – Reducing loss of life and property from natural and human-induced disasters Health – Understanding environmental factors affecting human health and well being Energy – Improving management of energy resources Climate – Understanding, predicting, mitigating and adapting to climate variability and change Water – Improving water resource management through better understanding of the water cycle Weather – Improving weather information, forecasting and warning Ecosystems – Improving the management and protection of terrestrial, coastal and marine resources Agriculture – Supporting sustainable agriculture and combating desertification Biodiversity – Understanding, monitoring, and conserving biodiversity Across the globe, through observations, we are helping respond to the problems created by weather and other environmental phenomena - through satellite, aircraft and ground-based measurements that reveal environmental changes across the globe. Whether these measurements assist in monitoring crops, exploring the oceans, improving weather forecasts, or assessing disasters, they are an essential resource for every nation. This slide contains current examples of benefits of Earth observations:  Help reduce loss of life and property from natural disasters Understand disease and environmental factors affecting human health Improve capacity to achieve sustainable development, including improved management of energy resources Understand climate and mitigating climate change impacts Improve understanding of global water resource management Improve weather information and prediction Improve management of coastal and marine ecosystems Monitor and manage inland ecosystems, including forests Support sustainable agriculture and combat desertification Understand, monitor, and prevent loss of biodiversity   These are beneficial implications for farmers in the developing world, for folks who make their livelihood along the coast, for governments trying to make the most of limited resources, and for the multibillion dollar insurance and food industries.
