  1. Natural Resources Area Report 22rd APAN Meeting - Singapore July 21, 2006

  2. NR Workshops at 22nd APAN • Eight AG-WG Workshop Sessions (five plus three joint) • Five EM-WG Workshop Sessions • 20-25 attendees each • Three meetings (EM-WG, AG-WG, NR Area)

  3. 22nd APAN NR Highlights

  4. First global poverty map derived from satellite data. Green = 1-10 persons in poverty per grid cell (~km2). Yellow = 11-50. Red = More than 50.

  5. Global DEM via GRID! Global coverage map from 2003. First global 15 meter digital elevation model (DEM) being processed from JAXA ASTER stereo imagery at AIST Grid Technology Research Center (GEOgrid Project). Since 2000 ASTER has been collecting image data from NASA’s EOS-Terra satellite. APAN is being used to: 1) Transfer raw data transferred via APAN from NASA to ERSDAC for processing (70 GB per day). 2) Return a copy of the processed data to USGS-EDC archive (70 GB per day). 3) Full ASTER archive (150 TB) is now being transferred from ERSDAC to AIST via APAN. 15 meter DEM derived from ASTER stereo image data.

  6. JAXA’sAdvanced Land Observing Satellite(ALOS)“Daichi”Launched onJanuary 24,2006 during 21st APAN in Tokyo!

  7. Unique capability to collect high resolution stereo imagery. ALOS PRISM(Panchromatic Remote-sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping) Shimizu Port, Shizuoka City, Japan as observed by the PRISM on Feb. 14, 2006 at 2.5 meter resolution.

  8. ALOS PALSAR(Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar) First polarimetric SAR in space! PALSAR can image day or night and through clouds!

  9. ALOS AVNIR-2 (Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer type-2) Osumi Peninsula in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan as observed by the AVNIR-2 on Feb. 17, 2006 at 10 meter resolution.

  10. ALOS Data Acquisitions – Go-Go-Go! • PRISM – 137,651 in two months (240,000 per global coverage) • AVNIR-2 17,869 in two months (70,000 per global coverage) • PALSAR – 93,054 in two months (230,000 per global coverage.

  11. ASF CNES/ESA NOAA JAXA Asia Region GA Europe and Africa Region North and South America Region Australia and Oceania Region Antarctica : JAXA in association with National Institute of Polar Research ALOS Data Will Be Distributed to Regional Nodes Via APAN Data Volume = 600GB/day. ESA: 146GB/day, ASF: 180GB/day, GA: 58GB/day, GISTDA: 61GB/day, other: 91GB/day.

  12. Group on Earth Observationswww.earthobservations.org • 1st Earth Observation Summit – 2003 Concept defined. • 2nd Earth Observation Summit – 2004 Framework developed. • 3rd Earth Observation Summit – 2005 Ten year implementation plan established. • GEO HQ at the World Meteorological Organization HQ – Geneva in 2005.

  13. Group on Earth Observations • The intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO) is leading a worldwide effort to build a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) over the next 10 years. • GEOSS will work with and build upon existing national, regional, and international systems to provide comprehensive, coordinated Earth observations from thousands of instruments worldwide, transforming the data they collect into vital information for society.

  14. GEO Goals – Societal Benefits • Reducing loss of life and property from natural and human-induced disasters. • Understanding environmental factors affecting human health and well-being. • Improving management of energy resources. • Understanding, assessing, predicting, mitigating, and adapting to climate variability and change. • Improving water resource management through better understanding of the water cycle. • Improving weather information, forecasting and warning. • Improving the management and protection of terrestrial, coastal and marine ecosystems. • Supporting sustainable agriculture and combating desertification. • Understanding, monitoring and conserving biodiversity.

  15. GEO Members – 64 countries Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Belize, Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, Central African Republic, Chile, China, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Egypt, European Commission, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guinea-Bissau, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mali, Mauritius, Mexico, Morocco, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Niger, Nigeria, Norway, Paraguay, Philippines, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Republic of the Congo, Russian Federation, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sudan, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Tunisia, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, Uzbekistan

  16. GEO also welcomes, as Participating Organizations, intergovernmental, international, and regional organizations with a mandate in Earth observation or related activities, subject to approval by GEO Members. Participating organizations are invited to GEO meetings and can participate in GEO committees and working group activities.

  17. GEO Committees & Working Groups • Architecture and Data Committee • GEONETCast Initiative • Capacity Building Committee • Science and Technology Committee • User Interface Committee • Working Group on Tsunami Activities

  18. GEONETCast Initiative • Expand the successful Eumetcast model to global coverage. • Uses standard Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) technology. • Broadcast EO image data and products relevant to regional users via telecommunication satellites.

  19. Success of Eumetcast • 1700 stations served – with most in Europe. • About 50 new stations added per month. • Primary data sets distributed are meteorological satellite images and products.

  20. NR Area Plan for 23rd APAN • EO data for disaster warning, prediction and assessment. • EO applications for aquaculture, fisheries and forestry. • Sensors and wireless networks in agriculture. • Ag modeling. • Ontology / multilingual.
