1 Global Mapping Concept and Recent Progress Peter R. Holland Vice Chair of ISCGM

2 iscgm.org 1992 Agenda 21 describes the need of geographic information, but available data were insufficient. Contribution from Survey and Mapping sector: provision of global geographic information for global environment research and decision making. Global Mapping

3 iscgm.org What is a Global Map? Digital geographic dataset of Global coverage Consistent specifications Worldwide open distribution

4 iscgm.org Global Map Specifications Spatial resolution: 1km, or 1:1,000,000 8 Layers Vector Transportation, Boundaries, Drainage, Population Centres Raster Elevation, Vegetation, Land Cover, Land Use Open and available online

5 boundaries transportation population centers drainage system elevation vegetation land use land cover Best Use of Innovative Technologies earth observation data data analysis geographic information systems satellite data Global Map

6 iscgm.org Implementation of Global Mapping Project Respective National Mapping Organizations’ voluntary contribution Each NMO has responsibility for the data production

7 iscgm.org 1996 2nd International Workshop on Global Mapping, Tsukuba, Japan The International Steering Committee for Global Mapping (ISCGM) was established.
