1 Committee on Earth Observation Satellites Stephen Briggs & SDCG EXEC (Ake Rosenqvist, Frank Martin Seifert, Gene Fosnight, George Dyke, Stephen Ward) Plenary Agenda Item #19 29 th CEOS Plenary Kyoto International Conference Center Kyoto, Japan 5 – 6 November 2015 Update on GFOI and the CEOS Space Data Coordination Group

2 29 th Plenary session Kyoto, Japan 4-6 November 2015  www.gfoi.org 2 Global Forest Observation Initiative (GFOI) Co-leads: GFOI Objectives: to foster sustained availability of satellite and ground observation in support of national forest information systems to support countries in the use of observations for their national forest information systems 2008 Establishment of GEO FCT task 2009+ FCT demonstration based on NDs 2010 GFOI Concept plan 2011 GFOI Implementation plan 2012 GFOI Start-Up Phase 2013-15Incrementing coverage 2016+ Full Operations Phase

3 29 th Plenary session Kyoto, Japan 4-6 November 2015 Space Data GFOI works with space agencies through CEOS to ensure the long-term, global acquisition of core satellite data helps countries meet their individual data needs Capacity Building GFOI provides capacity building in cordination with others such as UN- REDD. It supports the use of satellite and ground data to monitor forests, and estimate GHG emissions. Methods and Guidance Guidance on integrating remote-sensing and ground- based observations for estimation of emissions and removals of greenhouse gases in forests. Research and Development Identifying and promoting R&D needed for improved practical, global implementation of National Forest Monitoring GFOI Office Coordination and Management GFOI Components

5 29 th Plenary session Kyoto, Japan 4-6 November 2015 5 Outlook GFOI office to relocate to UN FAO, Rome 2016 (until 2015 alongside GEOSEC; 2015 interim support by Australia DOTE) Baseline mapping with global acquisitions from Landsat-7/-8, Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-2A in good shape  multiple global coverages in 2016 MGD version 2 (including interactive portal) due June 2016 Updated R&D programme (GFOI / GOFC GOLD) with two expert workshops in 2016 3 rd GFOI Plenary meeting o ESRIN - Frascati, February 2016 o SDCG-9 o Component coordination Emphasis on outreach & country engagement

6 SDCG & GFOI Space Data Component Update 29 th CEOS Plenary Kyoto, 4-6 November 2015

7 29 th Plenary session Kyoto, Japan 4-6 November 2015 7 The Role of SDCG in GFOI Coordination of satellite data acquisition and supply is fundamental to GFOI objectives and supports all countries’ reporting Satellite data can provide substantial input for MRV o Measurements of forest extent, status and characteristics o Support to countries in GHG Reporting o Independent Verification 2011 plenary endorsed the set-up of the Ad-hoc CEOS Space Data Coordination Group to support GFOI

8 29 th Plenary session Kyoto, Japan 4-6 November 2015 8 SDCG Co-chairs: ESA, USGS SDCG Secretariat: DOTE SDCG Members: ASI, CNES, CONAE, CRESDA, CSA, DLR, INPE, ISRO, JAXA, NASA Convene biannual meetings of SDCG o CSA hosted SDCG-1 in March 2012 o USGS hosted SDCG-2 in Sep 2012 o Australia hosted SDCG-3 in Feb 2013 o NASA hosted SDCG-4 in Sep 2013 o ESA hosted SDCG-5 in Feb 2014 o NSC hosted SDCG-6 in Oct 2014 o Australia hosted SDCG-7 in Mar 2015 o DLR hosted SDCG-8 in Sep 2015 o ESA will host SDCG-9 in Feb 2016 SDCG Set-up

9 29 th Plenary session Kyoto, Japan 4-6 November 2015 Assuring the availability of consistent time-series of optical and radar (SAR) satellite data over global forest cover. At least one annual national cloud-free optical coverage over each country. Publicly open (“core”) satellite data, phased implementation – multiple full global coverage by 2016. Implementation of Baseline Global Data Acquisition Strategy A coordinated strategy for national data acquisitions accommodating countries’ specific technical requirements, heritage, and experience. Covers a wider range of satellite data sources, including commercial. Innovative country data uptake by novel computing and database technologies Space Data Services Available Includes support for science studies assisting the development and evolution of the MGD for GFOI and addressing specific country needs. Data Supply in Support of GFOI R&D Activities CEOS Space Data Strategy for GFOI: 3 Elements

10 29 th Plenary session Kyoto, Japan 4-6 November 2015 Global annual coverages by 2016 of the world’s forested areas In 2016, full (127 country) global coverage o Coverage by Landsat-7/-8, Sentinel-1 and -2, o Regional coverage by CBERS-4 o Annual 25 m mosaic by ALOS-2 o On request coverage by non-core tasking missions Encourage non-core data providers to release older data to serve as baseline (generally 1990+) 10

14 29 th Plenary session Kyoto, Japan 4-6 November 2015 Space Data Services Strategy endorsed at SIT-29, Toulouse Removing obstacles to country uptake of satellite data through cloud computing, storage, novel computing and database technology Countries can focus on data applications and not handling Pilot projects underway, e.g. o Kenya Cube in support of their NFMS - Colombia Cube will follow o SEPAL by FAO o ESA’s Thematic Exploitation Platform on Forestry New GFOI Space Data Portal for all countries is being developed. 14

15 29 th Plenary session Kyoto, Japan 4-6 November 2015 GFOI R&D Programme Methods and Guidance only includes operational methods and approaches. Component aims to stimulate R&D on developing approaches that are not operational but could become widely available and useful R&D Workshops to discuss major topics, on-going work and how to promote further development, in cooperation with GOFC-GOLD Identifying and provision of space data to meet R&D (SDCG R&D Element) Identification of new approaches that can be included in future versions of the Methods and Guidance Identifying funding opportunities GOFC-GOLD: http://www.gofcgold.wur.nl/ GFOI: http://www.gfoi.org/rd

17 29 th Plenary session Kyoto, Japan 4-6 November 2015 Issues & Concerns SDCG seeks confirmation from GFOI Leads of the model of in-country delivery by GFOI, FAO and WB o What is the best modus operandi for cooperation? Continuity of Leadership Capacity o CEOS GFOI Lead will step down in March 2016 o No replacement of third SDCG co-chair (was NSC) o Current USGS SDCG Co-Chair retires 2016 o SDCG SEC funding expires Jun 2016 COP-21 in Paris is a global Milestone o GFOI side event (ESA, Australia, Cameroon, RESTEC) – opening by Greg Hunt, Australian Minister for the Environment SDCG willing and able to continue as an Ad-hoc CEOS Group for another year! 17

18 29 th Plenary session Kyoto, Japan 4-6 November 2015 For Plenary Acquisition Strategy Implementation Report for 2014 – for reference and endorsement Updated 3-year Work Plan (per SIT-30 action) – for reference Request renewal as CEOS Ad-hoc Group 18
