Why GEOSS?
•GEOSS - Global System To Meet Societal Needs – No one organization or country can provide comprehensive
capacity– An integrated international system using remote sensing & in situ
systems– Foundation for sound decision-making: global, regional, & local level
•Social, Economic, & Science Concerns– More than half the world’s population lives within 60 km of the
shoreline, & this could rise to 3/4 by the year 2020 – More than 90% of natural disaster-related deaths occur in developing
countries– 25% of Earth’s biological productivity & an estimated 80-90% of global
commercial fish catch is concentrated in coastal zones– Worldwide agricultural benefits of better El Niño forecasts are
conservatively estimated at $450-$550M/year•Basis For Sustainable Development

GEO Organization
• Architecture and Data Committee– The Architecture and Data Committee supports GEO in all architecture and data management
aspects of the design, coordination, and implementation of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) for comprehensive, coordinated, and sustained Earth observations.
• Capacity Building Committee– The Capacity Building Committee supports GEO in strengthening the capability of all countries,
in particular developing countries, to use Earth observation data and products in a sustainable manner and to contribute observations and systems to GEOSS.
• Science and Technology Committee– The Science and Technology Committee engages the scientific and technological communities
in the development, implementation and use of a sustained GEOSS in order to ensure that GEO has access to sound scientific and technological advice.
• User Interface Committee– The User Interface Committee engages users in the nine societal benefit areas in the
development, implementation, and use of a sustained GEOSS that provides the data and information required by user groups on national, regional and global scales. The User Interface Committee has a specific goal to address cross-cutting issues by coordinating user communities of practice, ensuring continuity and avoiding duplication.
• Working Group on Tsunami Activities– The Working Group on Tsunami Activities supports the coordinating activities of the UNESCO
Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) and other national, regional, and international initiatives to realize effective warning and mitigation systems for natural hazards, as an integral part of a multi-hazard approach supported by GEOSS.

What is GEOSS?
GEOSS will be a system of systems that is• comprehensive, by including observations and
products gathered from all components required to serve the needs of participating members;
• coordinated, in terms of leveraging resources of individual contributing members to accomplish this system, whose total capacity is greater than the sum of its parts; and
• sustained, by the collective and individual will and capacity of participating members.

US Response - USGEO
• “ …to develop and begin implementation of the U.S. framework and 10 year plan for an integrated, comprehensive Earth observation system to answer environmental and societal needs,
– including a U.S. assessment of current observational capabilities,– evaluation of requirements to sustain and evolve these capabilities
considering both remote and in situ instruments, – assessment of how to integrate current observational capabilities
across scales, and – evaluation and addressing of data gaps”
• “…to formulate the U.S. position and input to the international ad hoc Group of Earth Observations (GEO) as formed at the Earth Observation Summit on July 31, 2003.”
