  1. Michael Brady, Executive Director ADC Meeting, 20-21 2006 Review of ADC Tasks Co-Led by GOFC-GOLD

  2. Tasks • AR-06-09, reviewed by PoC, L. Pettinger • AG-06-04, forest assessment • DI-06-13, forest & fire warning system

  3. Task AG-06-04 Task Definition Initiate an international assessment effort on forests and forest changes utilizing ongoing land cover mapping projects (e.g. GLOBCOVER). Ensure application of standardized classifications and harmonization of existing datasets.

  4. Task AG-06-04 Representatives • FAO (FRA) • GTOS/GOFC-GOLD • USA (3) • Canada • CEOS • EEA • Germany • GLOBECOVER participants ( JRC, FAO, UNEP, ESA etc. ) • GTOS • ISCGM • Italy • Japan • Thailand

  5. Task AG-06-04 Output and Deliverables • Up to date user needs assessment for forest and land cover observations for forestry at regional and global scales • Launch and progress for GEOSS implementation project on international forest assessments . Availability and adoption of land characterization standards and updated land cover data

  6. Task AG-06-04 Contributory Programs & Projects • FAO FRA, GLCN • GTOS, GOFC-GOLD • Italy, GLCN • Germany • Contributions to GMES ESA FOREST Project • GMES - Fast Track Service Land Monitoring • INSPIRE Implementation Rules Data Specification • Japan • FFPRI: To coordinate a Committee of Forest Monitoring with related institutions • Relevant EC Projects • GEOLAND • CARBOAFRICA • CARBOEUROPE-IP

  7. Task AG-06-04 Team Activities • Established PoC (Mette Loyche-Wilke of FAO-FRA) • Linked to other relevant tasks (AG-06-03 GOFC-GOLD, USGS) • Co-leads have made initial contact and plans initiated; Mailing list created • Complete list of potential contributions from task members (Q3 06) • Organization and coordination of the GEOSS implementation project - Kick-Off Meeting (Q4 06) • Seeking clarification with GEOSEC: • Planned 2007 Forest symposium • WP07/09: Continue; reclassified and expanded as EC-07-P2

  8. Task DI-06-13 Task Definition Initiate a globally coordinated warning system for fire and monitoring for forest conversion, including the development of improved information products and risk assessment models.

  9. Task DI-06-13 Representatives • Portugal (PoC) • GTOS/GOFC-GOLD • Australia • Canada • FAO • Japan • Portugal • Thailand • USA • WMO • FDSN • Japan • South Africa

  10. Task DI-06-13 Output and Deliverables • Specifications (technical, operational) for a global early warning system for fire and forest conversion monitoring

  11. Task DI-06-13 Contributory Programs & Projects • Portugal • INOV system Ciclope • LSA SAF project • GTOS/GOFC-GOLD • Fire monitoring and mapping theme – global fire danger rating system • Japan • FFPRI: To continue operational use of the existing forest-fire early detection system • AFFRC: Continuing operation of the practical use of the forest fire early detect system • JAXA to contribute through the Sentinel Asia Project • EC • DG-ENTR: PREVIEW • DG-RTD: ARMONIA

  12. Task DI-06-13 Team Activities • PoC yet to be active (Portugal) • GOFC-GOLD co-lead appointed (Fire Implementation Team) • WP07/09: Continue; forest monitoring part now in EC-07-P2

  13. Task DI-06-13 Work to be Performed (e.g., GOFC-GOLD & GFMC*) • Review of existing warning systems for fire (Strategy document, 2005) • Enhance current fire early warning systems (Geostationary fire detection network) • Operational global early warning system (proposal for global fire danger rating system-linked to UNISDR, regional networks) * GOFC-GOLD Fire Monitoring and Mapping Implementation team; Global Fire Monitoring Centre
