GEOSS Task EC Lead and POC Roger Sayre, PhD U.S. Geological Survey EC-06-02: Ecosystem Classification (from GEO Workplan) Establish an ad hoc Ecosystems Classification Task Force, covering terrestrial, freshwater, and ocean ecosystems, with a mandate to create a globally agreed, robust, and viable classification scheme for ecosystems. In parallel with the classification effort, develop, review, and initiate a mapping approach to spatially delineate the classified ecosystems. Co-lead Alberto Yanosky, PhD Guyra Paraguay
