  1. GEO 2014 Work Plan SymposiumOpening RemarksBarbara J. RyanDirector, GEO SecretariatGeneva, Switzerland28 April 2014

  2. Created in 2005, to develop a coordinated and sustained Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) to enhance decision making in nine Societal Benefit Areas (SBAs) GEO today: 90 Members 77 Participating Organizations

  3. 77 Participating Organizations

  4. A broad Commercial Sector spans the entire information value chain Data providers Value-Added providers Downstream users

  5. Ministerial Guidance • Continue improving Earth observations worldwide • Urge the adoption and implementation of data sharing principles globally • Advance the GEOSS information system • Develop a comprehensive interdisciplinaryknowledge base • Cultivate global initiatives

  6. Enabling a System of Systems GEOSSPortal GEOHome Page GEODiscovery & Access Broker GEODAB

  7. Introduction of the Brokering approach

  8. Current Assets About 20 brokered data providers – capacities, systems, communities .. . Publish More than 7 Million (1.2 Million GEOSS Data Core) Discoverable and potentially accessible resources (mix of data collections, datasets and individual images) .. . .. . Contain More than 65 Million (50 Million GEOSS Data Core) Discoverable and potentially accessible granules (e.g. satellite scene, raingauge record) Resources

  9. Space GEOSS Hypercube GEOSS Time Themes

  10. GEOSS Targeted Gaps Uncertainty over continuity of observations Large spatial and temporal gaps in specific data sets Space Time Precipitation in France (1946-2013) Themes

  13. GEOSS Targeted Gaps Uncertainty over continuity of observations Large spatial and temporal gaps in specific data sets Major Floods in Europe (1984-2010) Space Land Use change in Europe (1984-2010) Time Themes Demography in Europe (1984-2010)

  14. GEOSS Targeted Gaps Uncertainty over continuity of observations Large spatial and temporal gaps in specific data sets Space Time West Africa drought 90-day outlook (April – June 2014) Themes

  15. GEOSS Targeted Gaps Uncertainty over continuity of observations Large spatial and temporal gaps in specific data sets Space Time West Africa drought observations(1995–2013) Themes

  16. GEOSS Targeted Gaps Uncertainty over continuity of observations Large spatial and temporal gaps in specific data sets Space East Africa drought observations(2010 – 2012) Time Themes West Africa drought observations(1995–2013)

  17. GEOSS Targeted Gaps Uncertainty over continuity of observations Large spatial and temporal gaps in specific data sets Space Time Themes West Africa crop prediction(2014-2015)

  20. GEOSS should be making this cube as dense and transparent as possible GCI Ecosystems mapping in Europe (1987-2010) Major disasters in South Asia (1992-2005) Space Global water bodies (1998-2005) Faults monitoring in South America (1980-2014) Crops obs. Asia (2005-2010) Global Climate predictions (2012-2032) West Africa Land Use (SB)(1990-2005) Precipitation in Africa ( Time GCI Searches Themes

  22. Summary • Broad open data policies/practices essential for publically funded collections & must be strengthened • Economic value in downstream elements – value-added products and services • Broaden stakeholder engagement needed, including the private sector • Strengthen policy linkages/mandates • National, Regional and International collaboration is essential
