  1. GEO Forest Carbon Tracking Task Europe (ESA), Australia (CSIRO), Norway (NSC), Japan (JAXA), Canada (CSA), Brazil (INPE), USA (USGS), Thailand (GISTDA) FAO, GOFC-GOLD JRC-EC, Wageningen Univ, USDA, Woods Hole, Restec, NIES Symbios, Google

  2. What is CEOS? 28 space agencies 20 participating organizations

  3. CEOS Virtual Constellations Common requirements, independent satellites, compatible data (CEOS – Committee on Earth Observation Systems)

  4. Forest Carbon Tracking – Task Force Is it feasible to monitor the world´s tropical forests?

  5. The need • An operational global network of national forest monitoring systems • Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of forest in the COP15 agreement

  6. Network of Forest Monitoring Systems Standards & Methods Reporting Accounting Systems UNFCCC Rules Country-X Forest Monitoring System Satellite In-situ Forest & Carbon Monitoring Carbon Models + Forest & Carbon Info Products Local Forest Measurementsites Capacity Building Verificat Local Observations /Data

  7. Product Requirements • National level Forest information (border-to-border) - to avoid ‘leakage’ • Annual Change basis (i.e. time-series) • Resolution (best operationally available eg 25 m)

  8. Time-Series & Interoperability Systematic Satellite Data Acquisitions SAR 1972 Forest Inventory or Carbon Model …. . Accounting Rules and International Reporting . 1972 Verification 1990 1991 1991 . 1992 1992 1993 1994 1995 1995 1996 … .. …. … 2003 2003 Optical … … … … 2012 2012 Forest Cover Product Consistency is critical

  9. Timeline of Forest Carbon Tracking Task Standards, Methods Definition & Continuous Improvement

  10. FCT National Demonstrators 2009 Brazil Guyana Mexico Indonesia (Borneo) Australia (Tasmania) Cameroon Tanzania Further expansion in 2010

  11. Landsat Acquisitions over Borneo 173 ETM+ Scenes in USGS Archive from May – August 2009 11

  12. Initial Products: SAR mosaic of Borneo + classified image 2009 Borneo Island ND ALOS PALSAR JAXA / METI 2009

  13. Open access data policies: a qualified success CBERS@INPE: 1 million images (2004-2009) LANDSAT @USGS: 1 million images (Jan-Aug-2009) GMES Sentinels @ESA-EC: Data will be open access (Sep 2009)

  14. 23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009 GEO FCT Data Portal[http://portal.geo-fct.org/ - official launch GEO-VI, Nov.18, 2009] Supported by Google
