Monitoring and Forecasting Impacts on Humans with Earth Observations

This project aims to increase the use of Earth observations for improved environmental, economic, and societal impact assessments. It will develop tools and services to monitor impacts on humans in various sectors such as energy policy planning, geo-resource exploration, and CO2 storage sites.

  1. DS-08 Monitoring and Forecasting the Impacts of/on Humans for each SBA Definition (Scope or Aim or Vision) • Facilitate/encourage significant increase the use of Earth observations for improved environmental, economic and societal impact assessments of each SBA • Facilitate/encourage significant increase the use of Earth observations for monitoring impacts of each SBA. • Explore tools and services for monitoring and impact assessment of each SB A

  2. Deliverables • A set of data and tools for impact assessment service for energy policy planning (e.g. develop a modelling platform that will enable planners and governments to forecast and monitor the environmental impact of changes in the energy mix; integrate Earth observation data with state-of-the-art modelling tools to calculate socio-economic impacts and environmental costs) Priority Actions: • … Leads (Members and/or Organizations, tentative): TNO, DLR, MINES ParisTech, others?

  3. Deliverables 2. Impact monitoring system for geo-resource exploration and exploitation (e.g. develop new tools for impact monitoring of mining operations using Earth observations; integrate information from in situ, airborne and satellite observation through data assimilation and models to provide impact diagnostics) Priority Actions: • Evaluate illegal mining operations Leads (Members and/or Organizations, tentative): UK, BRGM? And so on

  4. Deliverables 3. A range of Earth Observation data sets, in situ as well as remotely sensed, which may be used to map and monitor CO2 storage sites. A set of tools to process and analyze the data, either separately or in combination, including geophysical models Priority Actions: • Gap analysis • Engage stakeholders • Prepare a detailed work plan for 2012-2015 Leads (Members and/or Organizations, tentative): Norwegian Space Centre, British Geological Service, TNO, SciSys ?

  5. Issues and Gaps • Organizing the project • Funding • International communication • Embed international bodies • Completeness of the available data • Engaging stakeholders • Historical data • Availability of privately owned data
