Presentation Transcript

  1. Improving global agricultural cropland though integration and expert elicitation Steffen Fritz Linda See Christoph Perger

  2. Activities of IIASA in the wider field of Early warning • Global/regional land use models – impact of certain policies on GHG emissions, impact on food prices • Crop modeling using crop modelling (e.g. Epic model), comparison of ASCAT Soil Moisture with EPIC soil moisture • Evaluatingthe potential of mobile phones in cropland mapping and Early Warning applications

  3. Current State of maps and possible improvements in data collection • Global Land Cover and cropland maps in particular disagree • Lots of national maps have been produced which can be integrated (e.g. Africover) • Google earth offers enormous potential to cross check and validate maps • Mobile phones allow to collect data – e.g. pictures on the ground

  4. Disagreement between MODIS and GlobCover

  5. Disagreement between GLC-2000 and MODIS

  6. Geo-wiki.org www.geo-wiki.org

  7. Data Shared at the Workshop

  8. One Key Action from the Workshop • IIASA leads new subtask under the GEO Agriculture task, and work with the GEO Agriculture ‘Community of Practice’, Subtask: ‘Global land-use map’ • Cropland irrigated/non-irrigated • Rangelands • Crop Type • First step: Create a hybrid map of current cropland distribution.

  9. How to make a ‘hybrid product’ • Data integration • Kind of ensemble for cropland maps • Use national and sub-national statistics • Use experts via feedback on current maps to improve at certain locations • Integrate validation points collected from very high resolution (e.g. geo-wiki) and ground points/ pictures from mobile phones
