Wishes for the 2012-2015 GEO work plan ECOSYSTEM (enviroGRIDS project) GEO work plan: ECOSYSTEMS/Ecosystem Vulnerability to Global Change/Vulnerability of Sea Basins (EC-09-02c) Nicolas Ray, Gregory Giuliani, Anthony Lehmann University of Geneva / Climate Change and Climatic impacts / enviroSPACE group and United Nations Environment Programme / DEWA / GRID-Europe & the enviroGRIDS consortium London, February 2011
Large transnational projects • To contribute to ecosystem management at large, transnational scale • To spot and fill the gaps (data and services) • To transpose concepts, tools and lessons learnt in enviroGRIDS toanother region • Ideas for projects • Observation System for the Black Sea + Sea of Azov (with 6 border countries) • Caspian Sea • Africa Great Lakes (Victoria, Tanganyika, Malawi)
Massive Geoprocessing • To ease the ability to crosscut high resolution data sets from various sources • To be able to process an increasing influx of real-time data from (ecological) sensors • Ideas for projects • Elaborate ecosystem-relevant workflows with Web processing services (WPS) in the GEOSS • WPS coupled to distributed computing (grid/cloud computing)
