GMES Global Monitoring of Environment and Security Possible GMES contributions for the WFD implementation Thomas Dworak (Ecologic) Steffen Kuntz (Infoterra) F. Martin Seifert (ESA) What is GMES? Overall goal - Overall goal - Establish by 2008 a European Capacity for Global Monitoring of Environment and Security the user s dimension the user s dimension - the need for independent information for EU environmental and security policies the strategic dimension the strategic dimension - the necessity for Europe to play a leading role in information and Earth observation technology key drivers The European Commission DG Research / DG InfSo / DG Environment / DG Regio / DG Agri / DG JRC / The European Space Agency ESA What is GMES? Main GMES Thematic Priorities : A- Land Cover Change in Europe B- Environmental Stress in Europe C- Global Vegetation Monitoring D- Global Ocean Monitoring E- Global Atmosphere Monitoring F- Support to Regional Aid Development G- Systems for Risk Management H- Systems for Crisis Management and Humanitarian Aid I- Information Management Tools and Contribution to the Development of a European Spatial Data Infrastructure GMES Programmes Program initia Projects /Programme DG Research Support: DG-Env European Space Agency Program initiatorsProjects /Programme DG Research Support: DG ENV FP 6 Projects e.g GEOLOAND Operationa l Programs? GSE projects e.g SAGE GMES Participants Users Researchers Industry Policy Makers GMES SAGE Mission Statement SAGE aims to establish an operational capacity / organisation at European scale which is able to deliver in a sustainable, reliable, and affordable way geo-spatial information in time for water management & soil protection Geoland Mission Statement Geoland is a development and demonstration activity to proof the feasibility and user acceptance of GMES products for a broad range of ecozones and countries EO based Service Development for WFD Nat. / EU levelMedium Resolution geoland Source Apportionment Map (Northern Europe) catchment based modelling of nutrient leakage geoland Maps of Nutrient Surpluses (Central Europe) Catchment based GIS reporting on the nutrient surpluses. NOPOLU Model Nat. / Reg. levelHigh Resolution SAGE AquaSAGE/Water Quality (Central Europe) Transboundary catchment and impact assessment of agricultural land use on nitrate pollution of ground water (WFD reporting) Demonstration of interoperable products linking Water & Soil aspects MONERIS Model SAGE AquaSAGE/Water Quality (Northern Europe) Impact scenarios of different land & forest management practices on ground water pollution (WFD management) Hot SpotVery High Resolution geoland Water Pollution Central Europe Nutrient (N & P) emission into river systems, based on GIS environment and EO derived input data. Upgrade of spatial resolution and thematic resolution with respect to information needed for hot spot mapping. MONERIS Model EO based tools supporting the WFD Contribution to RBM plans Core service on topical and accurate land cover information (better than CORINE) Monitoring of impacts (early warning) Improved model results based on better information on local / regional level Harmonised, standardised and reliable (auditable!) geo-information across borders (synoptic view) Catchment based source apportionment modelling e.g Water Pollution Nitrogen leakage from boreal forests EO data Intermediate products: wall-to-wall datasets forest biomass & productivity clear cuttings Intermediate products: wall-to-wall datasets forest biomass & productivity clear cuttings Ancillary data point sources runoff climate land use N deposition etc Ancillary data point sources runoff climate land use N deposition etc Final products source apportionment nitrogen water quality maps nitrogen leakage, including scenario studies Final products source apportionment nitrogen water quality maps nitrogen leakage, including scenario studies Possible Links to PRBs Consider to include spaceborne geo- information as a valuable source when implementing monitoring requirements of the WFD. Participate actively as a potential GMES customer in next stage of ESA- GSE implementation (2005 2007) Have impact on the services (i.e. that your needs are fulfilled until operation starts (2008)) Further Information On GMES:On SAGE and GEOLAND:On SAGE:Or contact: Steffen Kuntz Thomas Dworak Thanks for attention
