2 VISION Policy-making GHGs Carbon Cycle

3 Fragmented landscape: society
Societal dimension Citizens Municipalities Private sector GEO-C’s role: identify and collaborate with the end-users across societal sectors Governmental institutions NGOs High-level decision making Science Ecosystems Oceans Atmosphere Gases Aerosols Human activities Natural processes Scientific dimension of Earth Observations

4 Fragmented landscape: science
Carbon Cycle Climate Change Ecosystems Oceans Atmosphere Gases Aerosols Human activities Natural processes Very diverse scientific domains that need specialized approaches NEON GOOS ACTRiS AnaEE TCCON IG3IS SOCAt IAGOS Blue Planet FLUXNET NIES JAXA eLTER GAW ARGO CEOS ICOS USGS … and many others!

5 Current situation AIM: Coherent and global GHG observations
Contributions to global GHG observations Distributed and largely independent observations and programs with obscure relations … and many others!

6 GEO-C’s role: follow landscape
AIM: Coherent and global GHG observations Global CO2 concentrations US GHG fluxes Global GHG fluxes European GHG fluxes and concentrations Japanese GHG fluxes and concentrations Sustained development of the oceans Coordinated EO satellite observations Global ocean surface CO2 concentrations Atmospheric GHG concentrations Gaps to be filled Current contributions … and many others!

7 Background of the GEO Carbon and GHG Initiative
“GEO through its Members and Participating Organizations, has begun work to implement a global carbon observation and analysis system… to provide high quality information on carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4)…” “…a response to the GEO Carbon Strategy. It details the adequacy of past, present, and planned satellite measurements of carbon in the land, oceans and inland waters, and atmosphere domains to support GEO…” “Improve the inter-operability with other carbon observation systems, contributing to the new GEO Strategy and the new GEO 10 years Implementation Plan (IP) for ”

8 Type of gaps identified
Access to existing data New data using existing stations New stations for new data Developing technical and scientific methodology Sustained observations and products Data architecture to bind these all together

9 Identified gaps specified
Improve fossil fuel GHG emission estimates Improve estimation of carbon capture and export in the ocean Improve satellite data accessibility Improve carbon pool estimates Decadal carbon pool monitoring Develop spatial scaling techniques for pCO2 and land flux observations Develop space measurements of global GHG distributions Data architecture for combination of different data streams Increase the density and geographical coverage of in situ networks

10 GEO-C’s role: support and build on existing efforts
Data sources Data infrastructures (portals) Data tools (software, codes) Elaborated products (models, visualisations) Existing actors RIs Communities Institutes Programs Initiatives Existing practices GEOSS Data Sharing Principles ICOS Measurement Standards EU guidelines (e.g. Inspire directive) Cross-domain integration Many necessary things are already present, mutual benefits and joint actions need to be identified and promoted

11 Examples from ICOS OCEAN ATMOSPHERE ECOSYSTEMS pCO2,water pCO2,air Ecosystem processes H2020 funding (RINGO, VERIFY) Combined ΔpCO2 Modeling Ocean GHG fluxes Regional GHG fluxes  When opportunities are present, people are eager to take actions

12 Benefits of GEO-C for ICOS
Way to promote GEO values Way to advocate SDG’s and SBA’s Way to contribute to the Paris Agreement challenges Scientists benefit from easier access to different data streams More use for ICOS data and services Opportunities for collaboration Learn from others, improve operations Good for the image Opportunities for funding

13 GEO-C showcases Support the ocean flux calculations built out of SOCAt (input to GCP) Support the transition from “residual” land sink to independent model/observation-based approaches Support interoperability of Research Infrastructures (e.g. ICOS-NEON joint site)

14 GEO-C showcase: SOCAt fluxes
Global Carbon Project Existing data portal Publications GEO-C sphere of actions PROJECT SOCAt-data based ocean fluxes Funding source (e.g. EuroGEOSS) Best practices (GEOSS, EU,…) ICOS OTC … SOCAt and GLODAP communities GOOS

15 GEO-C’s role: facilitate needed actions

16 From Observations to Decisions
SBSTA Observations Services Knowledge Decisions 3 2 1 4 Identifying observational gaps Improve data harmonization Improve inter-operability Improve data accessibility Data Citation Cross-sectoral engagement Sustainability Elaborated products and services

17 Summary of GEO-C contributions
follow the landscape and identify current efforts and their relations identify and facilitate needed projects promote and support existing efforts explore cross-domain and cross-societal-sector opportunities

18 GEO-C structure Steering and Advisory Group GEO-C SAG
High-level discussion forum to guide operation GEO-C Secretariat Secretariat Office to coordinate and facilitate actions GEO-C Implementation Implementing Network GEO-C participants who do the hands-on work

19 Next actions: GEO-C visibility, Work Plan, Showcases and Projects
GEO Workshop on Paris Agreement 3rd ICOS Science Conference COP24 Secretariat meeting EuroGEOSS call GEO Week 2018 SAG meeting Events 2018 Working schedule 2019 Goals Work plan draft GEO-C part of EuroGEOSS proposal White paper and Implementation plan finalised GEO-C structure and MO finalised Scientific landscape analysed Cross-societal opportunities identified Next GEO-C showcases started
