Presentation Transcript

  1. The Centre for Earth Observation Science (CEOS) • Dr. David G. Barber, • Director, Professor of Geography • University of Manitoba

  2. What is CEOS? • Level 1 teaching and research centre, U of Manitoba. • Climate Change is the Driver • Two Focci • Geomatics Technology • Numerical Process Modeling • Collaborative/Partnerships

  3. Where do we work?

  4. What are the central Science Drivers? • Climate Variability and Change

  5. What are the central Technological Drivers? • Geomatics Technologies (RS/GIS/GPS) • Numerical Modelling • Integration of these tools to understand processes • Information Technologies

  6. Some CEOS projects

  7. The Arctic

  8. Africa

  9. Indonesia

  10. Drought Information Prairie Canada 1988 Drought

  11. Flooding

  12. The Agassiz Centre for Disaster Information (DICE) Uncertainty Risk Consequences

  13. Climate Change and Manitoba • Risks - floods, droughts, permafrost • Benefits - better growing season, Port of Churchill • Uncertainty is the key variable • Science (improving the crystal ball) • Communication (information enables) • Education (poor understanding of the issues)
