  3. Global environment under pressure … Water – 20% of all surface watersources seriously threatened by pollution Soil Erosion – 17% of total European land area affected, economic loss around 85 € per ha Biodiversity – 335 species highlyendangered in Europe Agriculture – intensification leads to water stress,soil erosion and biodiversity decline Urban Settlementsand transport networks growing - leads to soil sealing and fragmentation of landscape e.g. man-made and climate induced changes in Europe Man-made impact & climate variability – require adaptation Directives & Regulations – requesting geo-spatial monitoring 3 18/03/2009

  4. Context • Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) aims to provide, on a sustained basis, reliable and timely geo-information services related to environmental and security issues in support of public policy makers’ needs • GMES is an EU-led initiative, in which ESA implements the space component and the European Commission manages actions for developing services, relying on both in-situ and space-borne remote sensing data. • GMES basic architecture • Infrastructures: In-situ and Space data • Core Mapping Services : Generic products • Down-stream services: End-users applications • “Fast Track” Services • Marine Monitoring • Emergencies Response • Land Monitoring Core Service 4 18/03/2009

  5. Needs for a Global Land Monitoring Core Service • Why? • Because environmental protection and civil security are global issues that require global monitoring to provide an informed basis for action. • EU 'development' policies • EuropeanConsensusonDevelopment (Enviroment, Water, Agriculture, Rural Devl) • EuropeanConsensusonHumanitarianAid • JointAfrica-EU Strategy (AMESD, GMES & AFRICA) • Otherrelevantpolicies (Thematic Strategy for Food Security, Environment and Natural Resources Thematic Program (ENRTP), EU WaterInitiative (EUWI)) • International environmentaltreaties • UN Framework ConventiononClimateChange (UNFCCC) (eg. Kioto Protocol). • UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) • UN ConventiononBiologicalDiversity (UNCBD) • UN ForumonForest (UNFF) + UN Millennium DevelopmentGoals • Link withotherinternationalinitiatives • Global LMCS willbe part of GEOSS • Linkedto GCOS, GTOS, IGOS, CEOS… 5 18/03/2009

  6. Users • Users • Europeaninstitutions (DG DEV, DG AIDCO, DG ENV, DG AGRI, EEA) • International bodies (IPCC, UNFCCC, UNCCD, UNCBD) • International agencies (FAO, UNEP, ECMWF, JRC-ACP, JRC/FOODSEC.) • Otherorganisations (AMESD, GEO,..) • ResearchonEarthScienceSystem (ESSP, WCRP, IGBP, …) • NGO, Civil society, Private sector (cropproduction, forest ..) • Needgeo-informationproductsfor • Climate Change, including Carbon fluxes; • Land degradation and desertification; • Forest and natural resources • Biodiversity • Waterresources • Agriculture and Foodresources • Urban and regional development 6 18/03/2009

  7. Global Land Monitoring Core Service • Three service elements: • Global Systematic Monitoring Services ( ECVs) • Land Cover and Land Cover Change • Vegetation, Fire, Radiation • Water and Soil • Snow, Glacier, Ice, permafrost • Hot Spots ad hoc Monitoring Services (eg. GMES & Africa) • Thematic Services (eg. Land Carbon, Crop Monitoring) • Definition of product ‘status’: • Development: Products under development • Pre-operational: Products generated routinely and available to beta-users for evaluation. Further improvements are expected after validation. • Operational: Products generated routinely and validated. • Accuracy level: • Threshold accuracy: Minimum acceptable quality. • Target accuracy: Commitment from the producer. • Optimal accuracy: Maximum expected accuracy. 7 18/03/2009

  8. Global Land Monitoring Core Service • Requirements • Consistent long-time series of ECVs • Improving spatial resolution (better than 1 km when possible) • Products independent of satellite sensors (multi-sensor approach) • Products with uncertainties defined according to CEOS WGCV procedures • Land Cover & Land Cover Change 8 18/03/2009

  9. Global Land Monitoring Core Service • Vegetation, Fire and Radiation 9 18/03/2009

  10. Global Land Monitoring Core Service • Water and Soil • Snow, Glacier, Ice and Permafrost 10 18/03/2009

  11. Implementation: Geoland-2 Geoland-2 Implementation ofOperational Capacity • LMCS complements existing operational European services: EUMETSAT / SAF Land, JRC / MARS Food, JRC/ ACP Observatory • ESA DUE GLOBCARBON, GLOBCOVER, GLOBSNOW.. • Data distribution: PUMA, AMESD, EUMETCast, DevCoCost… 11 18/03/2009

  13. BioPar Objectives Set-up an operational system, fully validated, developed according to industry standard, and that meets users’ needs. Taking benefit of previous R&D projects to complement (SAF Land) or to extend (VGT4Africa) operational services Building a strong user base (user-driven service) Moving from off-line processing to Near Real Time Integration global-regional-local to build a service providing bio-geophysical parameters at any scale of interest Ensuring Service Continuity Developing sensor-independent algorithms Design back-up processing line (in case of failure of nominal sensor) Guarantee the compatibility between historic and current products Adapting the present method to the next generation of sensors Improving Quality Assessment Combining technical, scientific, utility and external assessments 13 18/03/2009

  16. Quality Assessment Procedure 1- Technical validation at production centres (IM, VITO) 2- Scientific validation by independent team (EOLAB) 3- Utility assessment by user (CIS) • 1- Technical Validation 16 18/03/2009

  17. Quality Assessment • 2-Scientific Validation Plan • Following CEOS WGCV procedures • A) Inter-comparison with operational products • Spatial consistecy • Overall evaluation of products • Statistical analysis of different metrics • Temporal consistency • Temporal profiles • Evolution of statistics • B) Direct Validation • Quantitative accuracy • Temporal realism • 3-Utility Assessment • User oriented validation. 17 18/03/2009

  19. Conclusions: Stresa Workshop on Global LMCS • Identification of key products/issues, user requirements • Global Monitoring: Land Cover & LCC, Vegetation & Fires, Water & Soils, Snow & Ice • Hot-spot Mapping and Thematic Services • Integration of complementary info (EO, in-situ, models) • Architecture: Atmosphere/Marine services could be used as a model • Research/expertise support to operations: quality, validation, improvements, new products • Need of continuity of products in time, reprocessing • End-to-end information chain: need of integration (EO, in situ data, land surface models, land cover change, carbon & water cycles, crop monitoring) through land data assimilation systems and human expertise 19 18/03/2009

  20. Conclusions: Stresa Workshop • Improve interaction with parallel projects • EUMETSAT SAF’s • DevCoCast • ESA Strategic Actions: WACMOS (soil moisture time series) • ESA Earth explorer mission: SMOS (dedicated soil moisture mission) • Collaboration, potentialexchanges (procedures, data, etc…) interfaces, complementarities PNT ? • Open issues • Consolidation of the GMES document: Assessment of Maturity and Relevance • More discussion needed for “hot-spot” theme: • policy driven or driven by global systematic mapping? • Continuous or flexible monitoring? • Governance to be addressed (assessment of existing assets, interfacing, internationalcooperation) • Bridge financing 2011-2013 20 18/03/2009
