1 Integrated Earth Observations - Building the Bridges - IGOL Theme Team Meeting 13-15 Sept 2004 Jeff Tschirley Chief, SDRN

2 Space agencies IGOS –P brings together WMO UN organizations Global observing systems International science and research programmes

3 Need for earth observations Health Land Ecosystems Atmosphere Climate Oceans Biodiversity Disasters

4 IGOS themes (1)  Process for developing themes : – Form a group of interested partners and internationally recognized experts – Consult user communities to define needs and products – Assess current status of observations – Identify gaps in coverage  Theme content : – Objectives – Roles and responsibilities – Milestones – Evaluation criteria – Level of effort required

5 IGOS themes (2) Approved themes Global Carbon Cycle Geohazards Ocean Water cycleGlobal Carbon CycleGeohazardsOceanWater cycle Atmospheric chemistry Under preparation Coastal observations Coral Reefs Sub-Theme (approved) Land CryosphereCoastal observationsCoral Reefs Sub-Theme LandCryosphere

6 GEO Process G-8 Action 1 Evian, France 2 June 2003 Coordinate earth observation strategies Produce reliable data products on atmosphere, land, freshwater, ecosystems, oceans Improve data archiving and fill gaps

7 Sub-group reports User requirements, outreach Architecture Data utilization Capacity building International cooperation 3 Implementation Plan Task Team (Ten-year vision) 5 GEO-SEC Earth Observation Summits I - Washington DC, Jul 03 II - Tokyo, Apr 04 III - Europe, Feb 05 GEO 50+ countries International organizations 1 6 4 Framework document Benefits of earth observation Key areas of observation Shortcomings of current systems Need for a 10-year plan Outcomes Way forward IPTT Topic coordinators 5 Geo Co-chairs European community Japan South Africa Usa 2

8 GEOSS 10-year Implementation Plan Draft Outline  Scope  Purpose  Governance  Societal benefits and requirements Topics: Disasters, Health, Energy, Climate, Water, Weather, Ecosystems, Agriculture, Biodiversity  Opportunities and gaps  Elements of a systems (of systems)  Sharing and managing data  Serving the user  Capacity building  Outreach  Necessary conditions for success  Schedule for implementation and evolution

9 Nine social benefit areas  Disasters  Health  Energy  Climate  Water  Weather  Ecosystems  Agriculture  Biodiversity For each area a topic coordinator Geo sub-groups provide inputs

10 Inputs from current observing systems  IGOS Partners  Principal source of information for 7 of 9 topic areas (Disasters, Climate change, Water cycle, Weather, Ecosystems protection, Agriculture, Biodiversity)  UN agencies.
