A reminder…
In 1998…
The Baveno initiative was launched for 2 key reasons:

put into motion a user driven process for developing
further the use of remote sensing from space

help Agencies, Stakeholders, Industry and SMEs
Key actors were:
the European Commission – mainly DG JRC and RTD
Space Agencies i.e. ESA,BNSC, ASI, and
International Organisations i.e. EUMETSAT, EARSC

In 2001…
The Baveno initiative became GMES with a clear mandate to:

develop the Community effort

assess requirements and have them drive the technology

identify a possible European architecture

maintain the dialogue between all actors
2

In a 2001 Resolution the EU Council,
“urges the Commission to start, in close coordination with the ESA,
the initial period of GMES,….STRESSES the importance of the
initial period in preparing the next phase of GMES, aimed

at

achieving by 2008 an operational and autonomous

European capability for global monitoring for
environment and security…..”

3

“We must aim to become a global civil power at
the service of sustainable global development.
After all, only by ensuring sustainable global
development can Europe guarantee its own
strategic security”.

R. Prodi, European Parliament, February 2000

GMES Higher order objectives

To develop/maintain a data gathering and information system to
support the sustainable management of our environment and
our resources at the EU and global levels.
(By extension develop applications to a broader range of EU
policies)

Setting up of European capacity to independently acquire
information that is necessary to secure Europe’s vital interests and
for Europe to play an active role globally
(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

Setting up of European capacity to independently acquire
information that is necessary to secure Europe’s vital interests and
for Europe to play an active role globally
(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

7

Incidentally, the GMES will

-Help space programs to hook on mid to long term
community objectives (re: EU Space Policy)

-Provide fertile grounds for innovation and new
initiatives, especially when combined with
capacities provided by telecom and
navigation/positioning
-Contribute significantly to “knowledge society”.
8

-Stimulate the activities of value added industry
-Provide more material for research in the “nature
of things”

-Link satellite observations, functioning models
and ground data measurements

9

It was/is expected that GMES/KOPERNIKUS satisfies the
user’s requirements for

-MONITORING : securing an observation service along the
frequency, resolution, spectral characteristics… required by
the particular application

-DETECTION : securing a capacity to detect, interpret and
assess events of significance in the area of concern

-VERIFICATION : securing system of such quality that it can
be used to guarantee (or otherwise) the application of public
policies
(compliance regimes, mutually assured observation,
contractual situations, emergencies, etc..)

10

KOPERNIKUS bonuses
Promoting novel approaches to generate knowledge

-Global governance based on awareness and facts
-Making information available to all – ambient information
-From NIMBY! to WIMBY?
(or from Not In My Back Yard! to What’s In My Back Yard? )
-Added capacity to make sense of events
-Enhancing forecasting (development of spatial models)
-Adding to security technologies

11

KOPERNIKUS and European
“independence”, “autonomy”, “non-dependence”

“…European autonomy for Kopernikus services is
essential….”- Kopernikus draft Communication 2008
“The European citizens are increasingly dependent upon
space systems but these systems are themselves not
independent from non-European technologies …” –
Seminar on “Critical Space Technologies in Europe”Brussels 09/08

12

Selective autonomoy only can be considered

It requires:

-A political decision on what is essential to know
independently of others (e.g world food supply in 2014?)
-A political decision on what will be shared with others for
example in the context of GEO (e.g. cartographic data base)
-An assessment of what will be needed to maintain
competitive advantage of Europe in international
negotiations (e.g climate change in post-post-Kyoto)strategic posturing (!)

13

Selective autonomoy (cont’d)
- An evaluation of what it will take to address “mutual
verification” (e.g geographical position of critical
installations)
- Setting up Europe as a champion of “positive surveillance”
for global stewardship
- The technological capabilities to assume those choices
(real politik!)

Note: The above political debate has yet to start !

14

Main areas of relevance (classical; innovation opportunities)

Core service 1a: land monitoring service- EUROPE
-Basic land cover mapping “à la Corine”
-Regular update of land cover change at different scales
--thematic applications to agriculture, forestry, soils,
urbanisation, infrastructure, transport, ..

15

Core service 1b: land – World

-Global land cover mapping (see GlobCover2000 and much
improved GlobeCover2006) – see site Medias

-Global land use and changes – yearly/5yr update or
automatic Delta detection
-Forest monitoring : watching the disappearance of tropical
rainforest, assessing aforestation.deforestation

-Analyses addressing hot spots, infringement, risks,
-WIMBY on line with regular updating

16

Core service 1b: land – World Cont’d
-Detection of hot spots of relevance for development,
agriculture production, investments, markets etc…
-Carbon balance: carbon fluxes in the biosphere

-Land degradation world wide
-Addressing risk mapping, stand-by cartographic material in
case of emergencies etc..
-Monitoring food production world wide (food security)
-The State of the World Resources – strategic options, alarm

-GMES/KOPERNIKUS Atmosphere services

-Intense R&D on detecting atmospheric components
from space and addressing local air quality issues
-Potential is seen in linking air quality ground
monitoring systems and modelling
-Can impact on quality of life, individual decision
making process, life style.

Real-world CO2 emissions from a loaded truck driving from Maribor
to Barcelona. For comparison: new passenger cars emit 160-180 g/km

CO2 (g/km)

20

Core service : Emergency Response

This requires the capacity to bring the relevant data/information
to those directly involved in reacting to crises, providing
immediate assistance, assessing the damages.

- cartographic support (support to rapid response)
- event monitoring (continuous watch)
- assessment of impacts (details are usually needed)

21

Core service : Emergency Response (Cont’d)
Challenges are
- responsiveness to unexpected events

- availability of data at right resolution
- speed of delivery under adequate format
- validation, trust, reliability
In the long term Europe must address the “anywhere,
anytime” capacity issue.

Satellites (other technologies)

Users demand/public
response

feeding core services
stimulating user’s services

All embedded in a multilayer governance scheme

Consultando Google Earth, un anonimo internauta ha scoperto un'enorme macchia intorno
a una nave. a largo di Montalto di Castro, nel Lazio. Ha così scoperto un mercantile che
stava scaricando in mare, creando una chiazza di probabile origine oleosa.

Leçon - Insegnamento
-Tous gendarmes – tutti carabinieri?
-Tous gardiens du phare – tutti guardiani del faro?

-Tous responsables de la terre? – tutti custodi della
terra?

-Other technological “signals”

* CNES e-Corce : globally interconnected web-systems will
channel data from constellation of very high resolution
satellites directly to “consumer”;
new services ( yet to be set up ) addressing individual
/collective interests will act as leverage for “massive
demand for earth observation data”.

* European space policy has so far not given rise to public
investments in VHR satellite data and their open use in the
public domain (re Sentinel program). This void is being filled
by private sector.

28

Concluding remarks

GMES/Kopernikus
-

has been an engine of change in European space
landscape

-

will represent the main European public
effort in EO for the decade to come

-

offers numerous opportunities for
applications, innovations

-

will provide key geo data/information asset for
the conduct of EU public policy

29

Concluding remarks

Technology changes rapidly

New operational models already appear on the horizon
Earth observation seems to have been caught unaware of
those developments

Europe needs to better exploit such opportunities
Innovation (often using unintended exploitation of
technological offer) is the key
Public authorities have to create the necessary conditions
for this to happen (infrastructure, risk taking,
education,support)

GMES Higher order objectives

To develop/maintain a data gathering and information system to
support the sustainable management of our environment and
our resources at the EU and global levels.
(By extension develop applications to a broader range of EU
policies)

Setting up of European capacity to independently acquire
information that is necessary to secure Europe’s vital interests and
for Europe to play an active role globally
(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

7

Incidentally, the GMES will

-Help space programs to hook on mid to long term
community objectives (re: EU Space Policy)

-Provide fertile grounds for innovation and new
initiatives, especially when combined with
capacities provided by telecom and
navigation/positioning
-Contribute significantly to “knowledge society”.
8

-Stimulate the activities of value added industry
-Provide more material for research in the “nature
of things”

-Link satellite observations, functioning models
and ground data measurements

9

It was/is expected that GMES/KOPERNIKUS satisfies the
user’s requirements for

-MONITORING : securing an observation service along the
frequency, resolution, spectral characteristics… required by
the particular application

-DETECTION : securing a capacity to detect, interpret and
assess events of significance in the area of concern

-VERIFICATION : securing system of such quality that it can
be used to guarantee (or otherwise) the application of public
policies
(compliance regimes, mutually assured observation,
contractual situations, emergencies, etc..)

10

KOPERNIKUS bonuses
Promoting novel approaches to generate knowledge

-Global governance based on awareness and facts
-Making information available to all – ambient information
-From NIMBY! to WIMBY?
(or from Not In My Back Yard! to What’s In My Back Yard? )
-Added capacity to make sense of events
-Enhancing forecasting (development of spatial models)
-Adding to security technologies

space systems but these systems are themselves not
independent from non-European technologies …” –

12

Selective autonomoy only can be considered

It requires:

-A political decision on what is essential to know
independently of others (e.g world food supply in 2014?)
-A political decision on what will be shared with others for
example in the context of GEO (e.g. cartographic data base)
-An assessment of what will be needed to maintain
competitive advantage of Europe in international
negotiations (e.g climate change in post-post-Kyoto)strategic posturing (!)

13

Selective autonomoy (cont’d)
- An evaluation of what it will take to address “mutual
verification” (e.g geographical position of critical
installations)
- Setting up Europe as a champion of “positive surveillance”
for global stewardship
- The technological capabilities to assume those choices
(real politik!)

Note: The above political debate has yet to start !

14

Main areas of relevance (classical; innovation opportunities)

Core service 1a: land monitoring service- EUROPE
-Basic land cover mapping “à la Corine”
-Regular update of land cover change at different scales
--thematic applications to agriculture, forestry, soils,
urbanisation, infrastructure, transport, ..

15

Core service 1b: land – World

-Global land cover mapping (see GlobCover2000 and much
improved GlobeCover2006) – see site Medias

-Global land use and changes – yearly/5yr update or
automatic Delta detection
-Forest monitoring : watching the disappearance of tropical
rainforest, assessing aforestation.deforestation

-Analyses addressing hot spots, infringement, risks,
-WIMBY on line with regular updating

16

Core service 1b: land – World Cont’d
-Detection of hot spots of relevance for development,
agriculture production, investments, markets etc…
-Carbon balance: carbon fluxes in the biosphere

-Land degradation world wide
-Addressing risk mapping, stand-by cartographic material in
case of emergencies etc..
-Monitoring food production world wide (food security)
-The State of the World Resources – strategic options, alarm

-Potential is seen in linking air quality ground
monitoring systems and modelling
-Can impact on quality of life, individual decision

Core service : Emergency Response

This requires the capacity to bring the relevant data/information
to those directly involved in reacting to crises, providing
immediate assistance, assessing the damages.

- cartographic support (support to rapid response)
- event monitoring (continuous watch)
- assessment of impacts (details are usually needed)

21

Core service : Emergency Response (Cont’d)
Challenges are
- responsiveness to unexpected events

- availability of data at right resolution
- speed of delivery under adequate format
- validation, trust, reliability
In the long term Europe must address the “anywhere,
anytime” capacity issue.

-Other technological “signals”

* CNES e-Corce : globally interconnected web-systems will
channel data from constellation of very high resolution
satellites directly to “consumer”;
new services ( yet to be set up ) addressing individual
/collective interests will act as leverage for “massive
demand for earth observation data”.

* European space policy has so far not given rise to public
investments in VHR satellite data and their open use in the
public domain (re Sentinel program). This void is being filled
by private sector.

Concluding remarks

GMES/Kopernikus
-

has been an engine of change in European space
landscape

-

will represent the main European public
effort in EO for the decade to come

-

offers numerous opportunities for
applications, innovations

-

will provide key geo data/information asset for
the conduct of EU public policy

29

Concluding remarks

Technology changes rapidly

New operational models already appear on the horizon
Earth observation seems to have been caught unaware of
those developments

Europe needs to better exploit such opportunities
Innovation (often using unintended exploitation of
technological offer) is the key
Public authorities have to create the necessary conditions
for this to happen (infrastructure, risk taking,
education,support)

GMES Higher order objectives

To develop/maintain a data gathering and information system to
support the sustainable management of our environment and
our resources at the EU and global levels.
(By extension develop applications to a broader range of EU
policies)

Setting up of European capacity to independently acquire
information that is necessary to secure Europe’s vital interests and
for Europe to play an active role globally
(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

Setting up of European capacity to independently acquire
information that is necessary to secure Europe’s vital interests and

(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

7

Incidentally, the GMES will

-Help space programs to hook on mid to long term
community objectives (re: EU Space Policy)

-Provide fertile grounds for innovation and new
initiatives, especially when combined with
capacities provided by telecom and
navigation/positioning
-Contribute significantly to “knowledge society”.
8

-Stimulate the activities of value added industry
-Provide more material for research in the “nature
of things”

-Link satellite observations, functioning models
and ground data measurements

9

It was/is expected that GMES/KOPERNIKUS satisfies the
user’s requirements for

-MONITORING : securing an observation service along the
frequency, resolution, spectral characteristics… required by
the particular application

-DETECTION : securing a capacity to detect, interpret and
assess events of significance in the area of concern

-VERIFICATION : securing system of such quality that it can
be used to guarantee (or otherwise) the application of public
policies
(compliance regimes, mutually assured observation,
contractual situations, emergencies, etc..)

10

KOPERNIKUS bonuses
Promoting novel approaches to generate knowledge

-Global governance based on awareness and facts
-Making information available to all – ambient information
-From NIMBY! to WIMBY?
(or from Not In My Back Yard! to What’s In My Back Yard? )
-Added capacity to make sense of events
-Enhancing forecasting (development of spatial models)
-Adding to security technologies

“independence”, “autonomy”, “non-dependence”

essential….”- Kopernikus draft Communication 2008
“The European citizens are increasingly dependent upon
space systems but these systems are themselves not
independent from non-European technologies …” –
Seminar on “Critical Space Technologies in Europe”Brussels 09/08

12

Selective autonomoy only can be considered

It requires:

-A political decision on what is essential to know
independently of others (e.g world food supply in 2014?)
-A political decision on what will be shared with others for
example in the context of GEO (e.g. cartographic data base)
-An assessment of what will be needed to maintain
competitive advantage of Europe in international
negotiations (e.g climate change in post-post-Kyoto)strategic posturing (!)

13

Selective autonomoy (cont’d)
- An evaluation of what it will take to address “mutual
verification” (e.g geographical position of critical
installations)
- Setting up Europe as a champion of “positive surveillance”
for global stewardship
- The technological capabilities to assume those choices
(real politik!)

Note: The above political debate has yet to start !

14

Main areas of relevance (classical; innovation opportunities)

Core service 1a: land monitoring service- EUROPE
-Basic land cover mapping “à la Corine”
-Regular update of land cover change at different scales
--thematic applications to agriculture, forestry, soils,
urbanisation, infrastructure, transport, ..

15

Core service 1b: land – World

-Global land cover mapping (see GlobCover2000 and much
improved GlobeCover2006) – see site Medias

-Global land use and changes – yearly/5yr update or
automatic Delta detection
-Forest monitoring : watching the disappearance of tropical
rainforest, assessing aforestation.deforestation

-Analyses addressing hot spots, infringement, risks,
-WIMBY on line with regular updating

16

Core service 1b: land – World Cont’d
-Detection of hot spots of relevance for development,
agriculture production, investments, markets etc…
-Carbon balance: carbon fluxes in the biosphere

-Land degradation world wide
-Addressing risk mapping, stand-by cartographic material in
case of emergencies etc..
-Monitoring food production world wide (food security)
-The State of the World Resources – strategic options, alarm

-Potential is seen in linking air quality ground
monitoring systems and modelling
-Can impact on quality of life, individual decision

20

Core service : Emergency Response

This requires the capacity to bring the relevant data/information
to those directly involved in reacting to crises, providing
immediate assistance, assessing the damages.

- cartographic support (support to rapid response)
- event monitoring (continuous watch)
- assessment of impacts (details are usually needed)

21

Core service : Emergency Response (Cont’d)
Challenges are
- responsiveness to unexpected events

- availability of data at right resolution
- speed of delivery under adequate format
- validation, trust, reliability
In the long term Europe must address the “anywhere,
anytime” capacity issue.

-Other technological “signals”

* CNES e-Corce : globally interconnected web-systems will
channel data from constellation of very high resolution
satellites directly to “consumer”;
new services ( yet to be set up ) addressing individual
/collective interests will act as leverage for “massive
demand for earth observation data”.

* European space policy has so far not given rise to public
investments in VHR satellite data and their open use in the
public domain (re Sentinel program). This void is being filled
by private sector.

Concluding remarks

GMES/Kopernikus
-

has been an engine of change in European space
landscape

-

will represent the main European public
effort in EO for the decade to come

-

offers numerous opportunities for
applications, innovations

-

will provide key geo data/information asset for
the conduct of EU public policy

29

Concluding remarks

Technology changes rapidly

New operational models already appear on the horizon
Earth observation seems to have been caught unaware of
those developments

Europe needs to better exploit such opportunities
Innovation (often using unintended exploitation of
technological offer) is the key
Public authorities have to create the necessary conditions
for this to happen (infrastructure, risk taking,
education,support)

A reminder…
In 1998…
The Baveno initiative was launched for 2 key reasons:

put into motion a user driven process for developing
further the use of remote sensing from space

help Agencies, Stakeholders, Industry and SMEs
Key actors were:
the European Commission – mainly DG JRC and RTD
Space Agencies i.e. ESA,BNSC, ASI, and
International Organisations i.e. EUMETSAT, EARSC

In 2001…
The Baveno initiative became GMES with a clear mandate to:

develop the Community effort

assess requirements and have them drive the technology

identify a possible European architecture

maintain the dialogue between all actors
2

In a 2001 Resolution the EU Council,
“urges the Commission to start, in close coordination with the ESA,
the initial period of GMES,….STRESSES the importance of the
initial period in preparing the next phase of GMES, aimed

at

achieving by 2008 an operational and autonomous

European capability for global monitoring for
environment and security…..”

“We must aim to become a global civil power at
the service of sustainable global development.
After all, only by ensuring sustainable global

12

Selective autonomoy only can be considered

It requires:

-A political decision on what is essential to know
independently of others (e.g world food supply in 2014?)
-A political decision on what will be shared with others for
example in the context of GEO (e.g. cartographic data base)
-An assessment of what will be needed to maintain
competitive advantage of Europe in international
negotiations (e.g climate change in post-post-Kyoto)strategic posturing (!)

13

Selective autonomoy (cont’d)
- An evaluation of what it will take to address “mutual
verification” (e.g geographical position of critical
installations)
- Setting up Europe as a champion of “positive surveillance”
for global stewardship
- The technological capabilities to assume those choices
(real politik!)

Note: The above political debate has yet to start !

Main areas of relevance (classical; innovation opportunities)

Core service 1a: land monitoring service- EUROPE
-Basic land cover mapping “à la Corine”
-Regular update of land cover change at different scales
--thematic applications to agriculture, forestry, soils,
urbanisation, infrastructure, transport, ..

15

Core service 1b: land – World

-Global land cover mapping (see GlobCover2000 and much
improved GlobeCover2006) – see site Medias

-Global land use and changes – yearly/5yr update or
automatic Delta detection
-Forest monitoring : watching the disappearance of tropical
rainforest, assessing aforestation.deforestation

-Analyses addressing hot spots, infringement, risks,
-WIMBY on line with regular updating

16

Core service 1b: land – World Cont’d
-Detection of hot spots of relevance for development,
agriculture production, investments, markets etc…
-Carbon balance: carbon fluxes in the biosphere

-Land degradation world wide
-Addressing risk mapping, stand-by cartographic material in

Core service : Emergency Response

This requires the capacity to bring the relevant data/information
to those directly involved in reacting to crises, providing
immediate assistance, assessing the damages.

- cartographic support (support to rapid response)
- event monitoring (continuous watch)
- assessment of impacts (details are usually needed)

21

Core service : Emergency Response (Cont’d)
Challenges are
- responsiveness to unexpected events

- availability of data at right resolution
- speed of delivery under adequate format
- validation, trust, reliability
In the long term Europe must address the “anywhere,

/collective interests will act as leverage for “massive
demand for earth observation data”.

* European space policy has so far not given rise to public
investments in VHR satellite data and their open use in the
public domain (re Sentinel program). This void is being filled

28

Concluding remarks

GMES/Kopernikus
-

has been an engine of change in European space
landscape

-

will represent the main European public
effort in EO for the decade to come

-

offers numerous opportunities for
applications, innovations

-

will provide key geo data/information asset for
the conduct of EU public policy

29

Concluding remarks

Technology changes rapidly

New operational models already appear on the horizon
Earth observation seems to have been caught unaware of
those developments

Europe needs to better exploit such opportunities
Innovation (often using unintended exploitation of
technological offer) is the key
Public authorities have to create the necessary conditions
for this to happen (infrastructure, risk taking,
education,support)

A reminder…
In 1998…
The Baveno initiative was launched for 2 key reasons:

put into motion a user driven process for developing
further the use of remote sensing from space

help Agencies, Stakeholders, Industry and SMEs
Key actors were:
the European Commission – mainly DG JRC and RTD
Space Agencies i.e. ESA,BNSC, ASI, and
International Organisations i.e. EUMETSAT, EARSC

In 2001…
The Baveno initiative became GMES with a clear mandate to:

develop the Community effort

assess requirements and have them drive the technology

identify a possible European architecture

maintain the dialogue between all actors
2

In a 2001 Resolution the EU Council,
“urges the Commission to start, in close coordination with the ESA,
the initial period of GMES,….STRESSES the importance of the
initial period in preparing the next phase of GMES, aimed

at

achieving by 2008 an operational and autonomous

European capability for global monitoring for
environment and security…..”

3

“We must aim to become a global civil power at
the service of sustainable global development.
After all, only by ensuring sustainable global
development can Europe guarantee its own
strategic security”.

KOPERNIKUS and European
“independence”, “autonomy”, “non-dependence”

“…European autonomy for Kopernikus services is
essential….”- Kopernikus draft Communication 2008
“The European citizens are increasingly dependent upon
space systems but these systems are themselves not
independent from non-European technologies …” –
Seminar on “Critical Space Technologies in Europe”Brussels 09/08

12

Selective autonomoy only can be considered

It requires:

-A political decision on what is essential to know
independently of others (e.g world food supply in 2014?)
-A political decision on what will be shared with others for
example in the context of GEO (e.g. cartographic data base)
-An assessment of what will be needed to maintain
competitive advantage of Europe in international
negotiations (e.g climate change in post-post-Kyoto)strategic posturing (!)

13

Selective autonomoy (cont’d)
- An evaluation of what it will take to address “mutual
verification” (e.g geographical position of critical
installations)
- Setting up Europe as a champion of “positive surveillance”
for global stewardship
- The technological capabilities to assume those choices
(real politik!)

Note: The above political debate has yet to start !

Main areas of relevance (classical; innovation opportunities)

Core service 1a: land monitoring service- EUROPE
-Basic land cover mapping “à la Corine”
-Regular update of land cover change at different scales

Core service 1b: land – World

-Global land cover mapping (see GlobCover2000 and much
improved GlobeCover2006) – see site Medias

-Global land use and changes – yearly/5yr update or
automatic Delta detection
-Forest monitoring : watching the disappearance of tropical
rainforest, assessing aforestation.deforestation

-Analyses addressing hot spots, infringement, risks,
-WIMBY on line with regular updating

16

Core service 1b: land – World Cont’d

Core service : Emergency Response

This requires the capacity to bring the relevant data/information
to those directly involved in reacting to crises, providing
immediate assistance, assessing the damages.

- cartographic support (support to rapid response)
- event monitoring (continuous watch)
- assessment of impacts (details are usually needed)

21

Core service : Emergency Response (Cont’d)
Challenges are
- responsiveness to unexpected events

- availability of data at right resolution
- speed of delivery under adequate format
- validation, trust, reliability
In the long term Europe must address the “anywhere,
anytime” capacity issue.

/collective interests will act as leverage for “massive
demand for earth observation data”.

* European space policy has so far not given rise to public
investments in VHR satellite data and their open use in the
public domain (re Sentinel program). This void is being filled
by private sector.

28

Concluding remarks

GMES/Kopernikus
-

has been an engine of change in European space
landscape

-

will represent the main European public
effort in EO for the decade to come

-

offers numerous opportunities for
applications, innovations

-

will provide key geo data/information asset for
the conduct of EU public policy

29

Concluding remarks

Technology changes rapidly

New operational models already appear on the horizon
Earth observation seems to have been caught unaware of
those developments

Europe needs to better exploit such opportunities
Innovation (often using unintended exploitation of
technological offer) is the key
Public authorities have to create the necessary conditions
for this to happen (infrastructure, risk taking,
education,support)

A reminder…
In 1998…
The Baveno initiative was launched for 2 key reasons:

put into motion a user driven process for developing
further the use of remote sensing from space

help Agencies, Stakeholders, Industry and SMEs
Key actors were:
the European Commission – mainly DG JRC and RTD
Space Agencies i.e. ESA,BNSC, ASI, and
International Organisations i.e. EUMETSAT, EARSC

In 2001…
The Baveno initiative became GMES with a clear mandate to:

develop the Community effort

assess requirements and have them drive the technology

identify a possible European architecture

maintain the dialogue between all actors
2

In a 2001 Resolution the EU Council,
“urges the Commission to start, in close coordination with the ESA,
the initial period of GMES,….STRESSES the importance of the
initial period in preparing the next phase of GMES, aimed

at

achieving by 2008 an operational and autonomous

European capability for global monitoring for
environment and security…..”

3

“We must aim to become a global civil power at
the service of sustainable global development.
After all, only by ensuring sustainable global
development can Europe guarantee its own
strategic security”.

To develop/maintain a data gathering and information system to
support the sustainable management of our environment and
our resources at the EU and global levels.
(By extension develop applications to a broader range of EU
policies)

Setting up of European capacity to independently acquire
information that is necessary to secure Europe’s vital interests and
for Europe to play an active role globally
(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

7

Incidentally, the GMES will

-Help space programs to hook on mid to long term
community objectives (re: EU Space Policy)

-Provide fertile grounds for innovation and new
initiatives, especially when combined with
capacities provided by telecom and
navigation/positioning
-Contribute significantly to “knowledge society”.
8

-Stimulate the activities of value added industry
-Provide more material for research in the “nature
of things”

-Link satellite observations, functioning models
and ground data measurements

9

It was/is expected that GMES/KOPERNIKUS satisfies the
user’s requirements for

-MONITORING : securing an observation service along the
frequency, resolution, spectral characteristics… required by
the particular application

-DETECTION : securing a capacity to detect, interpret and
assess events of significance in the area of concern

-VERIFICATION : securing system of such quality that it can
be used to guarantee (or otherwise) the application of public
policies
(compliance regimes, mutually assured observation,
contractual situations, emergencies, etc..)

10

KOPERNIKUS bonuses
Promoting novel approaches to generate knowledge

-Global governance based on awareness and facts
-Making information available to all – ambient information
-From NIMBY! to WIMBY?

Core service : Emergency Response

This requires the capacity to bring the relevant data/information
to those directly involved in reacting to crises, providing
immediate assistance, assessing the damages.

- cartographic support (support to rapid response)
- event monitoring (continuous watch)
- assessment of impacts (details are usually needed)

21

Core service : Emergency Response (Cont’d)
Challenges are
- responsiveness to unexpected events

- availability of data at right resolution
- speed of delivery under adequate format
- validation, trust, reliability
In the long term Europe must address the “anywhere,

channel data from constellation of very high resolution
satellites directly to “consumer”;
new services ( yet to be set up ) addressing individual
/collective interests will act as leverage for “massive
demand for earth observation data”.

* European space policy has so far not given rise to public
investments in VHR satellite data and their open use in the
public domain (re Sentinel program). This void is being filled
by private sector.

28

Concluding remarks

GMES/Kopernikus
-

has been an engine of change in European space
landscape

-

will represent the main European public
effort in EO for the decade to come

-

offers numerous opportunities for
applications, innovations

-

will provide key geo data/information asset for
the conduct of EU public policy

29

Concluding remarks

Technology changes rapidly

New operational models already appear on the horizon
Earth observation seems to have been caught unaware of
those developments

Europe needs to better exploit such opportunities
Innovation (often using unintended exploitation of
technological offer) is the key
Public authorities have to create the necessary conditions
for this to happen (infrastructure, risk taking,
education,support)

A reminder…
In 1998…
The Baveno initiative was launched for 2 key reasons:

put into motion a user driven process for developing
further the use of remote sensing from space

help Agencies, Stakeholders, Industry and SMEs
Key actors were:
the European Commission – mainly DG JRC and RTD
Space Agencies i.e. ESA,BNSC, ASI, and
International Organisations i.e. EUMETSAT, EARSC

In 2001…
The Baveno initiative became GMES with a clear mandate to:

develop the Community effort

assess requirements and have them drive the technology

identify a possible European architecture

maintain the dialogue between all actors
2

In a 2001 Resolution the EU Council,
“urges the Commission to start, in close coordination with the ESA,
the initial period of GMES,….STRESSES the importance of the
initial period in preparing the next phase of GMES, aimed

at

achieving by 2008 an operational and autonomous

European capability for global monitoring for
environment and security…..”

3

“We must aim to become a global civil power at
the service of sustainable global development.
After all, only by ensuring sustainable global
development can Europe guarantee its own
strategic security”.

GMES Higher order objectives

To develop/maintain a data gathering and information system to
support the sustainable management of our environment and
our resources at the EU and global levels.
(By extension develop applications to a broader range of EU
policies)

Setting up of European capacity to independently acquire
information that is necessary to secure Europe’s vital interests and
for Europe to play an active role globally
(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

7

Incidentally, the GMES will

-Help space programs to hook on mid to long term
community objectives (re: EU Space Policy)

-Provide fertile grounds for innovation and new
initiatives, especially when combined with
capacities provided by telecom and
navigation/positioning
-Contribute significantly to “knowledge society”.
8

-Stimulate the activities of value added industry
-Provide more material for research in the “nature
of things”

-Link satellite observations, functioning models
and ground data measurements

9

It was/is expected that GMES/KOPERNIKUS satisfies the
user’s requirements for

-MONITORING : securing an observation service along the
frequency, resolution, spectral characteristics… required by
the particular application

-DETECTION : securing a capacity to detect, interpret and
assess events of significance in the area of concern

-VERIFICATION : securing system of such quality that it can
be used to guarantee (or otherwise) the application of public
policies
(compliance regimes, mutually assured observation,
contractual situations, emergencies, etc..)

10

KOPERNIKUS bonuses
Promoting novel approaches to generate knowledge

-Global governance based on awareness and facts
-Making information available to all – ambient information
-From NIMBY! to WIMBY?
(or from Not In My Back Yard! to What’s In My Back Yard? )
-Added capacity to make sense of events
-Enhancing forecasting (development of spatial models)
-Adding to security technologies

Challenges are
- responsiveness to unexpected events

- availability of data at right resolution
- speed of delivery under adequate format
- validation, trust, reliability

* European space policy has so far not given rise to public
investments in VHR satellite data and their open use in the

28

Concluding remarks

GMES/Kopernikus
-

has been an engine of change in European space
landscape

-

will represent the main European public
effort in EO for the decade to come

-

offers numerous opportunities for
applications, innovations

-

will provide key geo data/information asset for
the conduct of EU public policy

29

Concluding remarks

Technology changes rapidly

New operational models already appear on the horizon
Earth observation seems to have been caught unaware of
those developments

Europe needs to better exploit such opportunities
Innovation (often using unintended exploitation of
technological offer) is the key
Public authorities have to create the necessary conditions
for this to happen (infrastructure, risk taking,
education,support)

A reminder…
In 1998…
The Baveno initiative was launched for 2 key reasons:

put into motion a user driven process for developing
further the use of remote sensing from space

help Agencies, Stakeholders, Industry and SMEs
Key actors were:
the European Commission – mainly DG JRC and RTD
Space Agencies i.e. ESA,BNSC, ASI, and
International Organisations i.e. EUMETSAT, EARSC

In 2001…
The Baveno initiative became GMES with a clear mandate to:

develop the Community effort

assess requirements and have them drive the technology

identify a possible European architecture

maintain the dialogue between all actors
2

In a 2001 Resolution the EU Council,
“urges the Commission to start, in close coordination with the ESA,
the initial period of GMES,….STRESSES the importance of the
initial period in preparing the next phase of GMES, aimed

at

achieving by 2008 an operational and autonomous

European capability for global monitoring for
environment and security…..”

3

“We must aim to become a global civil power at
the service of sustainable global development.
After all, only by ensuring sustainable global
development can Europe guarantee its own
strategic security”.

GMES Higher order objectives

To develop/maintain a data gathering and information system to
support the sustainable management of our environment and
our resources at the EU and global levels.
(By extension develop applications to a broader range of EU
policies)

Setting up of European capacity to independently acquire
information that is necessary to secure Europe’s vital interests and
for Europe to play an active role globally
(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

information that is necessary to secure Europe’s vital interests and
for Europe to play an active role globally
(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

7

Incidentally, the GMES will

-Help space programs to hook on mid to long term
community objectives (re: EU Space Policy)

-Provide fertile grounds for innovation and new
initiatives, especially when combined with
capacities provided by telecom and
navigation/positioning
-Contribute significantly to “knowledge society”.
8

-Stimulate the activities of value added industry
-Provide more material for research in the “nature
of things”

-Link satellite observations, functioning models
and ground data measurements

9

It was/is expected that GMES/KOPERNIKUS satisfies the
user’s requirements for

-MONITORING : securing an observation service along the
frequency, resolution, spectral characteristics… required by
the particular application

-DETECTION : securing a capacity to detect, interpret and
assess events of significance in the area of concern

-VERIFICATION : securing system of such quality that it can
be used to guarantee (or otherwise) the application of public
policies
(compliance regimes, mutually assured observation,
contractual situations, emergencies, etc..)

10

KOPERNIKUS bonuses
Promoting novel approaches to generate knowledge

-Global governance based on awareness and facts
-Making information available to all – ambient information
-From NIMBY! to WIMBY?
(or from Not In My Back Yard! to What’s In My Back Yard? )
-Added capacity to make sense of events
-Enhancing forecasting (development of spatial models)
-Adding to security technologies

“independence”, “autonomy”, “non-dependence”

essential….”- Kopernikus draft Communication 2008

space systems but these systems are themselves not
independent from non-European technologies …” –
Seminar on “Critical Space Technologies in Europe”Brussels 09/08

12

Selective autonomoy only can be considered

It requires:

-A political decision on what is essential to know
independently of others (e.g world food supply in 2014?)
-A political decision on what will be shared with others for
example in the context of GEO (e.g. cartographic data base)
-An assessment of what will be needed to maintain
competitive advantage of Europe in international
negotiations (e.g climate change in post-post-Kyoto)strategic posturing (!)

13

Selective autonomoy (cont’d)
- An evaluation of what it will take to address “mutual
verification” (e.g geographical position of critical
installations)
- Setting up Europe as a champion of “positive surveillance”
for global stewardship
- The technological capabilities to assume those choices
(real politik!)

Note: The above political debate has yet to start !

Core service : Emergency Response

This requires the capacity to bring the relevant data/information
to those directly involved in reacting to crises, providing
immediate assistance, assessing the damages.

- cartographic support (support to rapid response)
- event monitoring (continuous watch)
- assessment of impacts (details are usually needed)

21

Core service : Emergency Response (Cont’d)
Challenges are
- responsiveness to unexpected events

- availability of data at right resolution
- speed of delivery under adequate format
- validation, trust, reliability
In the long term Europe must address the “anywhere,

Concluding remarks

GMES/Kopernikus
-

has been an engine of change in European space
landscape

-

will represent the main European public
effort in EO for the decade to come

-

offers numerous opportunities for
applications, innovations

-

will provide key geo data/information asset for
the conduct of EU public policy

29

Concluding remarks

Technology changes rapidly

New operational models already appear on the horizon
Earth observation seems to have been caught unaware of
those developments

Europe needs to better exploit such opportunities
Innovation (often using unintended exploitation of
technological offer) is the key
Public authorities have to create the necessary conditions
for this to happen (infrastructure, risk taking,
education,support)

A reminder…
In 1998…
The Baveno initiative was launched for 2 key reasons:

put into motion a user driven process for developing
further the use of remote sensing from space

help Agencies, Stakeholders, Industry and SMEs
Key actors were:
the European Commission – mainly DG JRC and RTD
Space Agencies i.e. ESA,BNSC, ASI, and
International Organisations i.e. EUMETSAT, EARSC

In 2001…
The Baveno initiative became GMES with a clear mandate to:

develop the Community effort

assess requirements and have them drive the technology

identify a possible European architecture

maintain the dialogue between all actors
2

In a 2001 Resolution the EU Council,
“urges the Commission to start, in close coordination with the ESA,
the initial period of GMES,….STRESSES the importance of the
initial period in preparing the next phase of GMES, aimed

at

achieving by 2008 an operational and autonomous

European capability for global monitoring for
environment and security…..”

3

“We must aim to become a global civil power at
the service of sustainable global development.
After all, only by ensuring sustainable global
development can Europe guarantee its own
strategic security”.

GMES Higher order objectives

To develop/maintain a data gathering and information system to
support the sustainable management of our environment and
our resources at the EU and global levels.
(By extension develop applications to a broader range of EU
policies)

Setting up of European capacity to independently acquire
information that is necessary to secure Europe’s vital interests and
for Europe to play an active role globally
(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

Setting up of European capacity to independently acquire
information that is necessary to secure Europe’s vital interests and
for Europe to play an active role globally
(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

7

Incidentally, the GMES will

-Help space programs to hook on mid to long term
community objectives (re: EU Space Policy)

-Provide fertile grounds for innovation and new
initiatives, especially when combined with
capacities provided by telecom and
navigation/positioning
-Contribute significantly to “knowledge society”.
8

-Stimulate the activities of value added industry
-Provide more material for research in the “nature
of things”

-Link satellite observations, functioning models
and ground data measurements

9

It was/is expected that GMES/KOPERNIKUS satisfies the
user’s requirements for

-MONITORING : securing an observation service along the
frequency, resolution, spectral characteristics… required by
the particular application

-DETECTION : securing a capacity to detect, interpret and
assess events of significance in the area of concern

-VERIFICATION : securing system of such quality that it can
be used to guarantee (or otherwise) the application of public
policies
(compliance regimes, mutually assured observation,
contractual situations, emergencies, etc..)

10

KOPERNIKUS bonuses
Promoting novel approaches to generate knowledge

-Global governance based on awareness and facts
-Making information available to all – ambient information
-From NIMBY! to WIMBY?
(or from Not In My Back Yard! to What’s In My Back Yard? )
-Added capacity to make sense of events
-Enhancing forecasting (development of spatial models)
-Adding to security technologies

“independence”, “autonomy”, “non-dependence”

“…European autonomy for Kopernikus services is
essential….”- Kopernikus draft Communication 2008

space systems but these systems are themselves not
independent from non-European technologies …” –
Seminar on “Critical Space Technologies in Europe”Brussels 09/08

12

Selective autonomoy only can be considered

It requires:

-A political decision on what is essential to know
independently of others (e.g world food supply in 2014?)
-A political decision on what will be shared with others for
example in the context of GEO (e.g. cartographic data base)
-An assessment of what will be needed to maintain
competitive advantage of Europe in international
negotiations (e.g climate change in post-post-Kyoto)strategic posturing (!)

13

Selective autonomoy (cont’d)
- An evaluation of what it will take to address “mutual
verification” (e.g geographical position of critical
installations)
- Setting up Europe as a champion of “positive surveillance”
for global stewardship
- The technological capabilities to assume those choices
(real politik!)

Note: The above political debate has yet to start !

Main areas of relevance (classical; innovation opportunities)

Core service 1a: land monitoring service- EUROPE
-Basic land cover mapping “à la Corine”
-Regular update of land cover change at different scales

Concluding remarks

GMES/Kopernikus
-

has been an engine of change in European space
landscape

-

will represent the main European public
effort in EO for the decade to come

-

offers numerous opportunities for
applications, innovations

-

will provide key geo data/information asset for
the conduct of EU public policy

29

Concluding remarks

Technology changes rapidly

New operational models already appear on the horizon
Earth observation seems to have been caught unaware of
those developments

Europe needs to better exploit such opportunities
Innovation (often using unintended exploitation of
technological offer) is the key
Public authorities have to create the necessary conditions
for this to happen (infrastructure, risk taking,
education,support)

A reminder…
In 1998…
The Baveno initiative was launched for 2 key reasons:

put into motion a user driven process for developing
further the use of remote sensing from space

help Agencies, Stakeholders, Industry and SMEs
Key actors were:
the European Commission – mainly DG JRC and RTD
Space Agencies i.e. ESA,BNSC, ASI, and
International Organisations i.e. EUMETSAT, EARSC

In 2001…
The Baveno initiative became GMES with a clear mandate to:

develop the Community effort

assess requirements and have them drive the technology

identify a possible European architecture

maintain the dialogue between all actors
2

In a 2001 Resolution the EU Council,
“urges the Commission to start, in close coordination with the ESA,
the initial period of GMES,….STRESSES the importance of the
initial period in preparing the next phase of GMES, aimed

at

achieving by 2008 an operational and autonomous

European capability for global monitoring for
environment and security…..”

3

“We must aim to become a global civil power at
the service of sustainable global development.
After all, only by ensuring sustainable global
development can Europe guarantee its own
strategic security”.

GMES Higher order objectives

To develop/maintain a data gathering and information system to
support the sustainable management of our environment and
our resources at the EU and global levels.
(By extension develop applications to a broader range of EU
policies)

Setting up of European capacity to independently acquire
information that is necessary to secure Europe’s vital interests and
for Europe to play an active role globally
(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

Setting up of European capacity to independently acquire
information that is necessary to secure Europe’s vital interests and
for Europe to play an active role globally
(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

7

Incidentally, the GMES will

-Help space programs to hook on mid to long term
community objectives (re: EU Space Policy)

-Provide fertile grounds for innovation and new
initiatives, especially when combined with
capacities provided by telecom and
navigation/positioning
-Contribute significantly to “knowledge society”.
8

-Stimulate the activities of value added industry
-Provide more material for research in the “nature
of things”

-Link satellite observations, functioning models
and ground data measurements

9

It was/is expected that GMES/KOPERNIKUS satisfies the
user’s requirements for

-MONITORING : securing an observation service along the
frequency, resolution, spectral characteristics… required by
the particular application

-DETECTION : securing a capacity to detect, interpret and
assess events of significance in the area of concern

-VERIFICATION : securing system of such quality that it can
be used to guarantee (or otherwise) the application of public
policies
(compliance regimes, mutually assured observation,
contractual situations, emergencies, etc..)

10

KOPERNIKUS bonuses
Promoting novel approaches to generate knowledge

-Global governance based on awareness and facts
-Making information available to all – ambient information
-From NIMBY! to WIMBY?
(or from Not In My Back Yard! to What’s In My Back Yard? )
-Added capacity to make sense of events
-Enhancing forecasting (development of spatial models)
-Adding to security technologies

KOPERNIKUS and European
“independence”, “autonomy”, “non-dependence”

“…European autonomy for Kopernikus services is
essential….”- Kopernikus draft Communication 2008
“The European citizens are increasingly dependent upon
space systems but these systems are themselves not
independent from non-European technologies …” –
Seminar on “Critical Space Technologies in Europe”Brussels 09/08

12

Selective autonomoy only can be considered

It requires:

-A political decision on what is essential to know
independently of others (e.g world food supply in 2014?)
-A political decision on what will be shared with others for
example in the context of GEO (e.g. cartographic data base)
-An assessment of what will be needed to maintain
competitive advantage of Europe in international
negotiations (e.g climate change in post-post-Kyoto)strategic posturing (!)

13

Selective autonomoy (cont’d)
- An evaluation of what it will take to address “mutual
verification” (e.g geographical position of critical
installations)
- Setting up Europe as a champion of “positive surveillance”
for global stewardship
- The technological capabilities to assume those choices
(real politik!)

Note: The above political debate has yet to start !

14

Main areas of relevance (classical; innovation opportunities)

Core service 1a: land monitoring service- EUROPE
-Basic land cover mapping “à la Corine”
-Regular update of land cover change at different scales
--thematic applications to agriculture, forestry, soils,
urbanisation, infrastructure, transport, ..

15

Core service 1b: land – World

-Global land cover mapping (see GlobCover2000 and much
improved GlobeCover2006) – see site Medias

-Global land use and changes – yearly/5yr update or
automatic Delta detection
-Forest monitoring : watching the disappearance of tropical
rainforest, assessing aforestation.deforestation

-Analyses addressing hot spots, infringement, risks,
-WIMBY on line with regular updating

16

Core service 1b: land – World Cont’d
-Detection of hot spots of relevance for development,
agriculture production, investments, markets etc…
-Carbon balance: carbon fluxes in the biosphere

-Land degradation world wide
-Addressing risk mapping, stand-by cartographic material in
case of emergencies etc..
-Monitoring food production world wide (food security)
-The State of the World Resources – strategic options, alarm

-GMES/KOPERNIKUS Atmosphere services

-Intense R&D on detecting atmospheric components
from space and addressing local air quality issues
-Potential is seen in linking air quality ground
monitoring systems and modelling
-Can impact on quality of life, individual decision
making process, life style.

Core service : Emergency Response

This requires the capacity to bring the relevant data/information
to those directly involved in reacting to crises, providing
immediate assistance, assessing the damages.

- cartographic support (support to rapid response)
- event monitoring (continuous watch)
- assessment of impacts (details are usually needed)

21

Core service : Emergency Response (Cont’d)
Challenges are
- responsiveness to unexpected events

- availability of data at right resolution
- speed of delivery under adequate format
- validation, trust, reliability
In the long term Europe must address the “anywhere,
anytime” capacity issue.

/collective interests will act as leverage for “massive
demand for earth observation data”.

* European space policy has so far not given rise to public
investments in VHR satellite data and their open use in the
public domain (re Sentinel program). This void is being filled
by private sector.

Concluding remarks

GMES/Kopernikus
-

has been an engine of change in European space
landscape

-

will represent the main European public
effort in EO for the decade to come

-

offers numerous opportunities for
applications, innovations

-

will provide key geo data/information asset for
the conduct of EU public policy

29

Concluding remarks

Technology changes rapidly

New operational models already appear on the horizon
Earth observation seems to have been caught unaware of
those developments

Europe needs to better exploit such opportunities
Innovation (often using unintended exploitation of
technological offer) is the key
Public authorities have to create the necessary conditions
for this to happen (infrastructure, risk taking,
education,support)

1

A reminder…
In 1998…
The Baveno initiative was launched for 2 key reasons:

put into motion a user driven process for developing
further the use of remote sensing from space

help Agencies, Stakeholders, Industry and SMEs
Key actors were:
the European Commission – mainly DG JRC and RTD
Space Agencies i.e. ESA,BNSC, ASI, and
International Organisations i.e. EUMETSAT, EARSC

In 2001…
The Baveno initiative became GMES with a clear mandate to:

develop the Community effort

assess requirements and have them drive the technology

identify a possible European architecture

maintain the dialogue between all actors
2

In a 2001 Resolution the EU Council,
“urges the Commission to start, in close coordination with the ESA,
the initial period of GMES,….STRESSES the importance of the
initial period in preparing the next phase of GMES, aimed

at

achieving by 2008 an operational and autonomous

European capability for global monitoring for
environment and security…..”

3

“We must aim to become a global civil power at
the service of sustainable global development.
After all, only by ensuring sustainable global
development can Europe guarantee its own
strategic security”.

R. Prodi, European Parliament, February 2000

GMES Higher order objectives

To develop/maintain a data gathering and information system to
support the sustainable management of our environment and
our resources at the EU and global levels.
(By extension develop applications to a broader range of EU
policies)

Setting up of European capacity to independently acquire
information that is necessary to secure Europe’s vital interests and
for Europe to play an active role globally
(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

Setting up of European capacity to independently acquire
information that is necessary to secure Europe’s vital interests and
for Europe to play an active role globally
(questions of autonomy, independence,”non-dependence”)

7

Incidentally, the GMES will

-Help space programs to hook on mid to long term
community objectives (re: EU Space Policy)

-Provide fertile grounds for innovation and new
initiatives, especially when combined with
capacities provided by telecom and
navigation/positioning
-Contribute significantly to “knowledge society”.
8

-Stimulate the activities of value added industry
-Provide more material for research in the “nature
of things”

-Link satellite observations, functioning models
and ground data measurements

9

It was/is expected that GMES/KOPERNIKUS satisfies the
user’s requirements for

-MONITORING : securing an observation service along the
frequency, resolution, spectral characteristics… required by
the particular application

-DETECTION : securing a capacity to detect, interpret and
assess events of significance in the area of concern

-VERIFICATION : securing system of such quality that it can
be used to guarantee (or otherwise) the application of public
policies
(compliance regimes, mutually assured observation,
contractual situations, emergencies, etc..)

10

KOPERNIKUS bonuses
Promoting novel approaches to generate knowledge

-Global governance based on awareness and facts
-Making information available to all – ambient information
-From NIMBY! to WIMBY?
(or from Not In My Back Yard! to What’s In My Back Yard? )
-Added capacity to make sense of events
-Enhancing forecasting (development of spatial models)
-Adding to security technologies

11

KOPERNIKUS and European
“independence”, “autonomy”, “non-dependence”

“…European autonomy for Kopernikus services is
essential….”- Kopernikus draft Communication 2008
“The European citizens are increasingly dependent upon
space systems but these systems are themselves not
independent from non-European technologies …” –
Seminar on “Critical Space Technologies in Europe”Brussels 09/08

12

Selective autonomoy only can be considered

It requires:

-A political decision on what is essential to know
independently of others (e.g world food supply in 2014?)
-A political decision on what will be shared with others for
example in the context of GEO (e.g. cartographic data base)
-An assessment of what will be needed to maintain
competitive advantage of Europe in international
negotiations (e.g climate change in post-post-Kyoto)strategic posturing (!)

13

Selective autonomoy (cont’d)
- An evaluation of what it will take to address “mutual
verification” (e.g geographical position of critical
installations)
- Setting up Europe as a champion of “positive surveillance”
for global stewardship
- The technological capabilities to assume those choices
(real politik!)

Note: The above political debate has yet to start !

14

Main areas of relevance (classical; innovation opportunities)

Core service 1a: land monitoring service- EUROPE
-Basic land cover mapping “à la Corine”
-Regular update of land cover change at different scales
--thematic applications to agriculture, forestry, soils,
urbanisation, infrastructure, transport, ..

15

Core service 1b: land – World

-Global land cover mapping (see GlobCover2000 and much
improved GlobeCover2006) – see site Medias

-Global land use and changes – yearly/5yr update or
automatic Delta detection
-Forest monitoring : watching the disappearance of tropical
rainforest, assessing aforestation.deforestation

-Analyses addressing hot spots, infringement, risks,
-WIMBY on line with regular updating

16

Core service 1b: land – World Cont’d
-Detection of hot spots of relevance for development,
agriculture production, investments, markets etc…
-Carbon balance: carbon fluxes in the biosphere

-Land degradation world wide
-Addressing risk mapping, stand-by cartographic material in
case of emergencies etc..
-Monitoring food production world wide (food security)
-The State of the World Resources – strategic options, alarm

-GMES/KOPERNIKUS Atmosphere services

-Intense R&D on detecting atmospheric components
from space and addressing local air quality issues
-Potential is seen in linking air quality ground
monitoring systems and modelling
-Can impact on quality of life, individual decision
making process, life style.

20

Core service : Emergency Response

This requires the capacity to bring the relevant data/information
to those directly involved in reacting to crises, providing
immediate assistance, assessing the damages.

- cartographic support (support to rapid response)
- event monitoring (continuous watch)
- assessment of impacts (details are usually needed)

21

Core service : Emergency Response (Cont’d)
Challenges are
- responsiveness to unexpected events

- availability of data at right resolution
- speed of delivery under adequate format
- validation, trust, reliability
In the long term Europe must address the “anywhere,
anytime” capacity issue.
