  2. Earth Monitoring becomes more and more important

  3. Our Bridge Thanks to high bandwidth internet, EM information cannot be limited by political boundary

  4. Earth Monitoring Working Group • Natural Resouce Area • Agriculture • Earth Monitoring • Earth System • Established: July 1998 • Co-Chair: Pakorn Apaphant, Ph.D. <GISTDA> Hirokazu Yamamoto (AIST) Vice Chair: Chris Elvidge, Ph.D. <NOAA> • 60++ Members from 12 countries • India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea, USA, Philippines, Vietnam, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Australia, and Singapore • http://www.affrc.go.jp/apan/emwg/

  5. Objectives • To utilize the APAN network resources in the exchange and distribution of earth observation satellite data in a full and open manner with a minimum time delay and minimum cost, recognizing relevant international instruments, national policies andlegislation. • Preservation and open access to the long term record of satellite earth observation data through digital archives. • Open access to a wider range of geospatial data of the Asia Pacific region.

  6. Objectives • Exchange of open source software for use in the access, display and analysis of earth observation satellite data. • Review of information requirements for consumers and policymakers in environmental, economic, and social arenas to further expand EO data utilization. • Capacity building activities to engage participation from all nations in the region and to maximize the availability and utilization of earth observation satellite data in developing countries. • Exploration and prototyping of innovative technologies and distributed methods for accomplishing the above.
