  1. Joint Research Centre GLC2000 First Results Workshop Ispra 18th to 22nd March 2002 Project overview

  2. Review of GLC 2000 objectives • Provide Global Land Cover for 2000 • Serve a broad user community • Science programmes (IGBP,…) • Global Observing Systems (GOFC – GOLD) • Environmental Conventions (MA, IPCC) • UN Organisations (UNEP, FAO, UNFF) • Regional development assistance programmes • National needs

  3. Implementation strategy • VEGA 2000 • VEGETATION data are a sound base for land cover mapping • Centralised processing ensures consistency of basic data across regions • provides observations throughout year 2000 • Scaleable legend • Regionally detailed & globally applicable through aggregation • LCCS ensures traceability between the two

  4. Implementation strategy cont. • Implementation by regional experts • optimises image classification methods • supports regionally appropriate map legend definition • validation by regional experts • international ownership • spreads the workload

  5. GLC 2000 Project Status • The VEGA 2000 S1 data set covers the period 1st November 1999 to 31st December 2000 • 55 regional windows have been extracted and distributed by GVM to 30 GLC 2000 partners • The Global legend has been agreed upon • A range of methods have been used to generate first-draft data classifications for regions including Eurasia, Africa, South America, North America, SE Asia and Europe

  6. Workshop objectives • Review GLC2000 production status • Review image classification methods • Review global and regional legends • Review database design & implementation • Review product validation strategy • Review product distribution / publication policy

  7. Validation strategy • Regional responsibility for regional products • Everyone can go as far as they want • A “uniform” systematic QA adopted by all • Global product • Single approach to give statistically valid measures of global product’s performance • International involvement and consensus • Special side session on Wednesday morning

  8. Product distribution / publication policy • Regional maps should be published by the lead scientists and their teams • Regional databases (maps, supporting metadata) will be collected by GVM, aggregated to give the global product and made available to all partners + the wider community via Web • All partners fully acknowledged • Mirror sites established within the Partnership

  9. continued… • Published workshop report based on a written version of the presentations. All submissions by 10th May • GVM to co-ordinate production of GLC GBA 2000 Atlas • Project summary • List of partners • Region by region description of map legend • classification method summary • the regional map (at reduced scale) • full scale sub-sets to illustrate the thematic / spatial detail of the product and to illustrate applications…focus is on processes with high regional relevance • CD ROM Version of the Atlas

  10. Workshop regional group objectives • Harmonize regional products • Compare map outputs within regions (Class boundaries, area covered) • Finalise regional map legends • Finalise regional aggregations to the global product legend • Regional product quality assessment • Structured validation process to be tested at the workshop

  11. Summary • Agreement on regional legends • Agreement on a final QA strategy • Agreement on Global Validation strategy • Identify all remaining gaps • Agree on a product and publication strategy • Agree on data format and metadata structure • Finalise the remainder of the project calendar
