THE MISSION
The primary goal is the development and integration of
Earth Observation (EO) methodologies for studying a wide
spectra of geophysical and environmental processes.
Satellite and
ground-based remote
sensing
In-situ network
and laboratory
measurements
Environmental
modelling
ICT for EO data
interoperability
This approach fits with the main strategic lines of GMES and
GEOSS implementation plan.
