1. Wageningen University Chairgroup Geo-infomation and Remote Sensing (GRS) CITIZENSE proposal preparation meeting IIASA, 18. Jan. 2012

2. Introduction  Wageningen University – life sciences ● Almost 7000 students BSc/MSc (50/50) and 1500 PhD ● 20 BSc, 33 MSc studies, and 6 research schools ● MSc Geo-information science, 2 years  Chairgroup Geo-Information Remote Sensing ● Center for Geoinformation ● 2 chair groups, 15 scientific and technical staff ● ~30 Phd students ● 20+ ongoing research projects (4 EU-FP7, ESA, national science funding, CIFOR...)

3. Staff involved  Arnold Bregt: SDI; INSPIRE; assessment approaches and methods  Martin Herold: integrated land change monitoring  Arend Ligtenberg: social-spatial processes; CAS; human movement behaviour; mobile applications  Jan Verbesselt: time-series analysis and near-real time change detection and monitoring

4. WP involvement  WP 2: Citizen and community engagement ● Citizens involvement in crowd-sourcing; requirements analysis; methods for monitoring  WP 3: Architectural Design ● Geo-spatial/environmental services; sensor webs; interoperability and standards; mobile concepts; ontologies  WP 9: Biodiversity ● Remote sensing based hot-spot monitoring  WP 11: Land Change ● Implement a system for monitoring land change in Europe and globally including a mobile data streams and interactions with citizen observers  WP 12: Evaluation and Sustainability ● Methodology; Data quality; feedback framework; project compendium

5. WP 11 Pilot Case Study 6: Land Change Monitoring System  WU, IIASA, VUA, ALTERRA, FELIS, BRIDGEGIS, SENSARIS..  Design, build, implement and evaluate citizen-based contributions to a land change monitoring system  Citizen observers - provide more detail (time and thematic) and independent data source for tracking type, location, local information and characteristics of land changes – present and past  GMES: develop near-real time remote sensing data stream signalling change to continuously stimulate citizen observations and interaction  Link to ongoing or “mandated” monitoring through LUCAS (EUROSTATS, ground inventory) and CORINE (EEA, remote sensing-based)
