  1. GEO in the Netherlands

  2. Netherlands Space Office Stimulate (use of) space in an (inter)national context Enhance role of the Netherlands in space Space for Society

  3. GEO in the Netherlands Activities in European Commission & ESA Programs National initiatives, e.g.: research & news instruments such as OMI (NASA AURA) and TROPOMI (ESA)

  4. SBA Agriculture Who: Wageningen University / Alterra What: operations of WOFOST crop model (WOrld FOod STudies) / Crop Growth Monitoring System (CGMS) for EC JRC.

  5. SBA Biodiversity Who: Alterra Wageningen UR What: EBONE is a European pilot for GEO BON. It will make extant data exchangeable and is designed to make the links between (isolated) databases, e.g. using matrices of linking remote sensed categories with in situ habitat data for use in biodiversity indicators. LIDAR detection of a single tree In situ data of 1 km square in south France, legend: General Habitat Categories (GHCs) In situ data of 1 km square in the Negev desert, Israel

  6. SBA Capacity Building Who: ITC (Twente University) What: GEONETCast Toolboxapproach (GEO task GEO CB-09-03 task); distribution of data and derived products for the global user community, covering all nine Societal Benefit Areas (SBA)
