GMES Land Service Concept 07/11/008
Global environment under pressure e.g. man-made and climate induced changes in Europe Water 0% of all surface water sources seriously threatened by pollution Soil Erosion 17% of total European land area affected, economic loss around 85 per ha Biodiversity 335 species highly endangered in Europe Agriculture intensification leads to water stress, soil erosion and biodiversity decline Urban Settlements and transport networks growing - leads to soil sealing and fragmentation of landscape Man-made impact & climate variability require adaptation Directives & Regulations requesting geo-spatial monitoring GMES supporting reporting & management tasks 07/11/008 3

Implementation Approach 07/11/008 8
GMES Services Approach Pre-Conditions Operational elements to be established INSPIRE the standards GMES the geo-information content, the space component SEIS (for environment) the spatial data infrastructure Bottom-up approach teaming to create critical mass and consensus, avoid blockages Legally mandated organisations Service providers (public & private) Researchers Project specific considerations Stakeholder collaboration within & across & beyond projects Early networking (about 1- years before anticipated call / programme) 07/11/008 9
GMES Service Approach - Implementation Availability of standardised core services to enable downstream applications Image Data Core Service Data (geo-information) In-situ Data Dissemination Tools Common standards (content, format, service / system interoperability) Up-take by down-stream services Stakeholder teaming to achieve consensus, prepare decisions Governance to achieve operational budgets and procurement 07/11/008 10

Fast Track Service Land Project (FP7) 07/11/008 14
FP7 Fast Track Service Land: project Land Monitoring Core Service - 1 of 3 Fast Track Services, implementing GMES, contributing to GEO, interacting with INSPIRE & SEIS 50 partners 171 collaborating user organisations (81 directly committed to ) 3.5 Mio. volume 4 years duration.4 Mio. European Commission grant (FP7) 11 thematic tasks 1 coordination office 3 stakeholder platforms (users, science, service providers) 3 core mapping services (land use/land cover, bio-physical vegetation parametres, annual monitoring), 7 core information services (Water, Agri-Env., Spatial Dev., Forest, Land Carbon, Global Crop Mon., African Sust. Dev.) 07/11/008 15
Objectives Further elaborate LMCS specifications / validation approach Set-up prototype production system to validate performance Evolve from core mapping parameters to core information relevant on a pan-european scale to support policy impact assessment, to serve as common reference for sector-specific analysis and/or national reporting 07/11/008 16
Expected Results Service / product related land cover change and seasonal dynamics enabling response to global change / climate variability impacts Service specifications and commonly agreed validation rules, operations requirements, production efficiency targets Production system prototype based on open standards End-to-end system validation Organisational layout for operating such a prototype system Stakeholder platforms users, service providers, science Dedicated technical service evolution (e.g. to integrate new sensors) 07/11/008 17
