  4. Ecosystems Atmosphere Climate Disasters Health Ocean Land Earth Observations Improved Understanding for Global Management A Basis for Sustainable Development

  5. Framework • Group on Earth Observations www.earthobservations.org • Global Earth Observation System of Systems • IEEE-GEO Collaboration • Opportunities

  6. Group on Earth Observations

  7. FIRST MEETING An Intergovernmental group with 81 Members and 58 Participating Organizations U.S. Department of State, Washington DC July 31, 2003

  8. GEO • Response tothe 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development and to G8 leaders • Voluntary partnership of governments and international organizations • Framework to coordinate strategies and investments • Charged with developing GEOSS

  9. …we will accelerate efforts within the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), ... in priority areas, inter alia, climate change and water resources management, by strengthening observation, prediction and data sharing ... capacity building for developing countries … interoperability and linkage …

  10. Global Earth Observation System of Systems

  11. GEOSSGlobal, Coordinated, Comprehensive Sustained System of Observing Systems

  12. GEOSS Vision is to realize a future wherein decisions and actions for the benefit of humankind are informed via coordinated, comprehensive, and sustained Earth observations and information.

  13. What is a “System of Systems?” • Definition: • A System-of-Systems (SoS) is a “super-system” comprised of elements that are themselves complex, independent systems which interact to achieve a common goal. • Common Characteristics: • The component systems achieve well-substantiated purposes in their own right even if detached from the overall system Not just a large, complex system • The components systems are managed in large part for their own purposes rather than the purposes of the whole Constructed of Independent systems • It exhibits behavior, including emergent behavior, not achievable by the component systems acting independently Value of the synergy Dynamic, open environment • Component systems, functions, and behaviors may be added or removed during its use 13

  14. Three perceptions of “A System of Systems” A System for Integrating Observation, Modeling, and Data Management Systems Disaster Health Energy Climate A System for Coordinating the Nine Socio Benefit Areas Water Weather A System for Converging Observation Systems Worldwide Ecosystem Agriculture Biodiversity 14

  15. GEOSSGlobal Earth Observation System of Systems • An integrating infrastructure for Earth observing and information systems to inform decision making for society • 2015: Global, Coordinated, Comprehensive and Sustained System of Observing Systems

  16. GEOSS Objectives • Improve and Coordinate Observation Systems • Provide Open Data Access • Foster Use • Build Capacity • Identify gaps in observations based on user requirements

  17. Strategic Goals • Sustain operation of networks and components • Address data sharing • Implement interoperability • Build capacity • Catalyze investments • Foster R&D

  18. GEOSS Development • 10-Year Development Plan http://earthobservations.org/documents/10-Year%20Implementation%20Plan.pdf • Two-Year Work Plan • Current plan for 2009-2011 http://earthobservations.org/documents/work%20plan/geo_wp0911_rev2_091210.pdf

  19. Grand Challenge:The Environment and Earth Observation

  20. GEOSS Development • Successes • GEO boosts access to data for Haiti earthquake • US, China, Brazil offer free data • GEOBON informs biodiversity decisions – creating global networks • GEO stimulates global R&D programs and international collaborations

  21. GEOSS Development • Challenges • Interoperability • Open data access • Participant funding self-generated 21

  22. Data Sharing • Full Open Exchange of Data • Recognizing Relevant International Instruments and National Policies and Legislation • Minimum time delay, cost • Free of Charge or Cost of Reproduction for Research and Education

  23. Interoperability Interoperable Architecture and Standard Formats • Technical Specifications for Collecting, Processing, Storing, and Disseminating Data and Products • Non-proprietary Standards • Defining System Compliance for Contribution

  24. GEOSS Work Plan Organization • Cross-cutting Committees • ADC STC • CBC UIC • Societal Benefit Areas

  30. Editor-in-Chief Paul Racette GSFC Earthzine • GEO Outreach Task • Successful and growing • Current article: Nutritious Potato a Global Source of Sustainable Food and Income • Current person: Judith Curry On the Credibility of Climate Research • Always looking for writers and syndications www.earthzine.org

  31. Water Harvesting • Food Security • Collaboration: villagers, local industries, NGO, ISRO, IEEE, international consultants • Regional training leading to regional and international expansion

  32. IEEE Successes andImpacts in GEOSS • Leading Standards and Interoperability • Sponsoring Global Workshops and Publications • Water for the World Pilot Projects • Recognized for leadership contributions • Building relationships with governments and international organizations

  33. Advisor to Nations • IEEE has a wealth of expertise that has not been organized to provide specific advice/studies for Governments beyond US • South Africa as Pilot - Initially funded by NIC - now self-sustaining

  34. Partnering with SA Government and IEEE SA Section for Human CapacityDevelopment Satellite Calibration Energy Rural Communications Telemedicine South Africa
