  1. SB-04 Task Outputs / Activities, 2012-2015 TARGET 1. Improve the overall coordination of urban observations, monitoring, forecasting, and assessment initiatives worldwide. Targets by 2015 Action 1: GEO SB-04 Symposium in 2012 (in conjunction with EORSA2012) Action 2: Book - Global Urban Monitoring and Assessment thru Earth Observation, to be published in 2013. Action 3: GEO SB-04 Symposium in 2013 (in conjunction with JURSE2013) TARGET 2. Support the development of global urban observation and analysis systems. Action 4: Develop EU-China collaboration in urbanization monitoring within the Dragon 3 programme Action 5: Generation and provision of data set on spatio-temporal development (1975-2010) of actual 26 mega-cities. TARGET 3. Produce up-to-date information on the status and development of the urban system – from local to global scale. Action 6: Set-up of global data base of binary settlements masks (Global Urban Footprint 2012/2013) derived from SAR data of TanDEM-X mission. Action 7: The USGS will accomplish 2011 impervious surface and urban land cover mapping for the conterminous United States. TARGET 4. Fill gaps in integration of global urban observations with (i) data characterizing urban ecosystems, built environment, air quality, and carbon emission; and (ii) indicators of population density, environmental quality, and quality of life; and (iii) patterns of human, environmental and infectious diseases. Action 8:Construction of a 2012 nighttime lights of the world using Suomi NPP VIIRS data (NOAA-NGDC). Action 9: GEO Grid/AIST and the University of Tokyo are developing ASTER Global Urban Area Map (3734 cities of more than 0.1 million). Action 10:The National Observatory of Athens is developing advanced methodologies for the study of the thermal environment of cities. Action 11: Developing methods to monitor high resolution dynamics of land reflectance in China TARGET 5. Develop innovative concepts and techniques in support of effective urban sensing and sustainable urban development. Action 12: Participate in NASA’s HyspIRI Science Study Group.
