13 Technology push but still waiting for end-user pull Robert Bukata Science Management Accessibility to reliable and well documented archival data Lack of universal standards Institutional and historic adherence to historical monitoring protocols Suspect reputation of remote sensing technologies In the past, promised more than they delivered. Need processing software (e.g.beam)

14 GEO WORK PLAN The GEO Work Plan provides the agreed framework for implementing the GEOSS 10-Year Implementation Plan ( ). It is a living document that is updated annually.

19 C4 Global Water Quality Products and Services This component aims to develop international operational water quality information systems based on Earth observation. This component encompasses both the collation and development of in-situ water quality databases and remote-sensed data, particularly space-borne data. The component addresses both flowing and static water bodies, recognizes differing approaches to assessing their water quality and the linkages/interface betweeen them The goal of this component is to integate water quality data from multiple sources in a timely manner and through data assimilatation of Earth observation with other sources of data such as water quantity, hydrodynamics, biogeochemical modelling, generate higher level information products
