INPE• Capacitação (infra-estrutura, institucional e

treinamento e educação)– CRECTEALC (Centro Regional em Ciência e Tecnologia

Espaciais para a América Latina http://www.inpe.br/unidades/cep/atividadescep/crectealc/)

– Pós-Graduação em Sensoriamento Remoto– Treinamento e difusão (Spring, Terralib, Terraview)– Teleducação (e-learning)

• Política de dados CBERS (expansão ? Cotopaxi? CB em infra-estrutura? Institucional?)

• GEOSS (representação no ExCom)• EOPA (operação do GOES-10)• CEOS SIT constelação de satélites

• CB-07-P4: Open Source Software (OSS)• Encourage the development and use of open source

solutions across/along the Earth observation value chain through:

§         Developing an inventory of possible OSS solutions that could be used within GEO. Making this inventory and identified solutions available through the GEO portal.

§         Building on existing efforts and drawing on networks of OSS (and other) developers to stimulate OSS and other value chain related  projects that  foster the development of local technical skills for software production.

§         As a starting point TerraView and Terralib will be used to  encourage the development of open source software for end users dealing with integrated Earth observation and GIS data.

Importance of Earth Observation Data

• Flooding in Europe, Earthquake in Pakistan, Indian Ocean Tsunami, Katrina, and other natural disasters

• Climate change, biodiversity conservation, threat to property

GEO and GEOSS…….• GEO = Many People =

Group on Earth Observations

• GEOSS = One Vision =Establish a global, coordinated, comprehensive and sustained system of Earth observing systems

“Strengthen cooperation and coordination among global observing systems and research programmes for integrated global observations, taking into account the need for building capacity and sharing of data from ground-based observations, satellite remote sensing and other sources among all countries”

Recommendation from WSSD, Johannesburg, 2002

GEOSS should answer Society’s need for

Better Earth ObservationsEasier & More Open Data

GEOSS:GEOSS:• Here to promote data sharing for earth

observations• Here to promote interagency,

intergovernmental, and interdisciplinary collaboration

• Here to encourage sharing infrastructure• Here to inform the decision makers what

needs to be done and to build the political will to make it happen.

GEOSS will serve 9 Societal Benefit Areas

1. Prevention/Reduction of effects of disasters2. Human Health and Epidemiology3. Energy Management4. Climate Change5. Water Management6. Weather Forecasting7. Ecosystems8. Agriculture9. Biodiversity

Five Transverse Areas

1. Architecture

2. Data Management

3. User Engagement

4. Capacity Building

5. Outreach

Why a Transverse Approach ?

Same observations are often relevant to manySocietal Benefit Areas

(e.g., Altimetry)

Why a Transverse Approach ?

Many are interdependent (e.g., Weather-DisastersClimate-Agriculture-Health

Water-Energy)

Capacity Building

• Objectives:

develop (through a global partnership) human, scientific, technological, and institutional resources and capabilities across the nine Societal Benefit Areas.

• Main Themes

• Earth observation infrastructure (particularly in developing countries)

• Institutional capacities and

• Education and training.
