GEOSS History • Earth Observation Summit III February 2005, Brussels • Nearly 60 Countries + EC and 34 International Organizations • 10-Year Implementation Plan • Official Group on Earth Observations (GEO) established • Coordinated response to Indian Ocean Tsunami Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission

  3. GEOSS And GOOS • December 17, 2004 • Executive Order: Committee on Ocean Policy • http://ocean.ceq.gov U.S. IOOS GOOS GEOSS Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission

  4. What is GEOSS? Comprehensive Coordinated Sustained An end-to-end system of existing systems (both in situ and remote sensing observation platforms)linked with new systems Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission

  5. Earth Observations Value: Agriculture Drought costs in U.S. = $6-8B annually Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission

  6. Earth Observations Value: Disaster Mitigation FLOATS BUOYS Better ocean observations = more accurate forecasts & effective warnings GAUGES Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission

  7. GEOSS Implementation • Data Management Needs • New systems mean 100-fold increase in data • Current systems already face challenges • Development of browser and visualization systems— underpinned by core geospatial technologies • Interoperability through protocols and standards Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission

  8. GEO IGeneva, Switzerland • First meeting of new GEO at WMO headquarters in early May • IOC Update on Global Tsunami Early Warning Capabilities • Elected GEO Executive Committee • Begin Implementation of 10-year Plan • Next report to GEO in December 2005 Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission
