1 GMES Global Monitoring for Environment and Security European Commission, GMES Bureau Pleiades Days, January 2012, Toulouse, France

2 From Baveno to GMES Initial Operations 15 years of continuous effort - EC Communication on GMES capacity by First Space Council - EC ESA framework agreement signed - EC Communication From Concept to Reality - ESA C-Min Berlin on GMES Space Component - GIO implementation - GMES Committee, Security Board, User Forum - EC Communication on next MFF - EC Communication on GMES - EC Proposal for a Regulation on GMES Initial Operations (GIO) - EC Communication GMES challenges and next steps for the Space Component - ESA C-Min Edinburgh - EU Gothenburg summit - EC-ESA Action plan - First funds for services First GEO meeting - Establishment of the GMES Bureau Baveno Manifesto Adoption of the GIO - GMES Partners Board - First EC-ESA Delegation Agreement - Launch of first three fast track services at Lille Forum - EC Communication GMES: We care for a Safer Planet - ESA C-Min The Hague with major funding for GSC - Adoption of FP7 Space Programme - 4th Space Council recognising GMES as a flagship of the ESP - Lisbon Declaration on Africa

3 GMES: why an EU lead programme? Earth Observation & Monitoring is strategic Security, risk and crisis management Spatial planning Monitoring of natural resources Meteorology and Climate monitoring Need for a European autonomous capacity Synergies are mandatory EO costs for a comprehensive programme like GMES go beyond resources of a single nation Market potential for EU wide, regional and local applications services Pooling of resources at EU level fosters innovation and competitiveness for all

4 GMES : a user driven process GMES services are aiming at providing information in the field of environment and security EARTH OBSERVING SYSTEMS Information PUBLIC POLICIES (space, airborne, in-situ) Needs (policy driven) (Environment & Security) Space Agencies In-situ Observing systems Scientific Community EO Value Adding Industry National Governments and Agencies European Union Institutions Inter-Governmental Organisations (IGOs) Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs)

GMES = Earth monitoring programme Regulation adopted in October 2010 EU-led programme, EC in charge of coordination and management Partnership with ESA and Member States Based on three components:

5 GMES = Earth monitoring programme Regulation adopted in October 2010 EU-led programme, EC in charge of coordination and management Partnership with ESA and Member States Based on three components: service, space and in situ Initial Operations for the period Definition of organisational arrangements Mixed operational and R&D budget Implementation of the service delivery Data and information policy (Delegated Act) Security issues

6 Available budget until 2013 : 3.2 Bn million Space Component : 2.4 Bn EU 1,210 million from FP7 (GSC, access to space, development of services, in situ component, Preparatory Actions), GMES Initial Operations, and other EC services 260 million EU 100 million (FP6) for fast track services ESA 130 million (GSE) and additional studies ESA 1,730 million for GSC built-up, GSE followon and Climate Change Initiative

7 GMES services USERS Policy Makers & Public & Private, Commercial Needs to be addressed Examples of Services Provision Farming Oil Spill Tracking Air Quality Flood Surveillance Arctic change Services Land Marine Atmosphere Emergency Security Climate Space Infrastructure & In Situ Infrastructure Observation infrastructures OBSERVATION

8 GMES services Scope of GMES services Provide standardized common (multi-purpose) information Based on common requirements from EU and public MS institutions Will support public good data policy Supported by EU/public funding (GMES programme) Downstream sector Tailored for specific applications at local, regional, national levels EU to encourage and support the implementation of these service layer through incentive measurements (user uptake, R&D)

9 Sentinel 1/2/3/4/5 & Jason-CS series GMES Space Segment Contributing missions In situ observations Tasking FOS Core Ground Receiving Station PDGS Core Ground Segment Collaborative Ground Receiving Station Coordinated Data Access System GMES SERVICES USERS / (DOWNSTREAM) SERVICES

10 GMES Contributing missions: Data sets and licensing scheme Additional data sets Optical and SAR HR and VHR new acquisitions in rush mode Optical and SAR HR and VHR archive retrieval in rush mode Optical and SAR HR and VHR new acquisitions in normal mode Optical and SAR HR and VHR archive retrieval in normal mode Requirements of the marine service Requirements of the atmosphere service + VIEW for public Core data sets Daily MR and LR land coverage Bi-monthly HR composites HR Sub-Saharan African Coverage EU VHR coverage EEA 38 wall to wall coverage in 2011/2012 and access to previous archives FP7 projects EU, agencies and contractors Member States and contractors NGOs and international org.

11 Which GMES Services will take benefit from Pleiades? All services! However, greater beneficiaries likely to be: Emergency, Security, Land Services Land Marine Atmosphere Security Emergency Climate

12 GMES Emergency Management Service mapping in rush mode on-demand and fast provision of geospatial information immediately following an emergency event. mapping in non-rush mode on-demand provision of geospatial information in support to the prevention, preparedness and reconstruction phases. external validation external quality control, validation of thematic information content and comparison to alternative information sources related to the emergency context.

Another example of potential use of Pleiades:

intervention in Libya Since 24 February:

Sallum), Malta (City of La Valletta) Mapping

checkpoints: Libya Algeria, Libya Egypt,

13 Another example of potential use of Pleiades: preparation of humanitarian crisis intervention in Libya Since 24 February: production of different geographic reference maps: over Libya (Cities of Tripoli, Benghazi, Derna and Tobruk), Egypt (city of Sallum), Malta (City of La Valletta) Mapping of population movements at cross-border checkpoints: Libya Algeria, Libya Egypt, Libya Tunisia Mapping of poss. damages to infrastructure: airports, harbors, hospitals

14 GMES Security services Border surveillance (land, sea) Support to EU External Actions Maritime Surveillance Internal Security [TBC] e.g. EU Chiefs of Police

15 Support to Border Surveillance Political Driver - EUROSUR February 2008, EC Communication on the creation of a European Border Surveillance System (EUROSUR) with focus on the southern and eastern external borders preventing unauthorised border crossings, reducing the number of illegal immigrants loosing their life at sea and increasing the internal security of the EU. GMES observation capacities can contribute to improve the mapping and monitoring of border areas. Concept of Operations JUNE 2011 (FRONTEX and EU Agencies)

Data Common application of surveillance tools (Article 12) Services Monitoring of 3 rd country ports and coasts (embarkation points) Tracking of vessel Monitoring designated areas Environmental

16 Data Common application of surveillance tools (Article 12) Services Monitoring of 3 rd country ports and coasts (embarkation points) Tracking of vessel Monitoring designated areas Environmental assessment Maritime data Sea EO data Land (incl. coasts) Information Land data/ /intel Tools Ship reporting systems (AIS, VMS) Satellite imagery Sensors mounted on any kind of platform, incl. un/manned aerial vehicles Intelligence National Coordination Centres EUROSUR network

17 Support to EU External Actions Political Driver Actions outside the EU What can GMES do in support to EU External Actions? Scenarios approach; Areas for possible support : EUFOR support (e.g. Chad) Food security (e.g. Ethiopia) through synergic actions with Global Land Illicit crops, scenario to be focused on specific case(s) Monitoring of country recovery, (e.g. DRC) Crisis aftermath monitoring of reconstruction and rehabilitation, (e.g. Aceh) including transparency in external aid Treaty monitoring / Non-proliferation Urban resilience (vulnerability to disaster) Access to water and natural resources assessing risks of conflict

18 Application areas R&D activities demonstrated the potential of EO for security applications : GMOSS, LIMES. MARISS, G-MOSAIC Potential Mining Map Potential areas of coca cultivation Situation Awareness Libya-Tunisia Borders G-MOSAIC Timber Logging

19 Land Monitoring service Three components: Local: hot spot (e.g. urban areas, protected area, coastal areas etc.) Continental: Pan-EU products (e.g. Pan-EU land cover and land cover change) Global: Essential Climate Variables (ECVs), biogeophysical parameters in support to Climate Change monitoring

20 Urban Atlas: compactness indicators

21 GMES Marine Environment 4 application areas Area 1 «MARINE SAFETY» (maritime operations, sea pollutions, ship routes, search and rescues ) Area 3 «COSTAL & MARINE ENVIRONNEMENT» (Water quality, pollution, costal activities ) Area 2 «MARINE RESOURCES» (fishery, ICES, FAO, ) Area 4 «CLIMATE & SEASONAL FORECAST» (Climate change and impact mitigation, meteorological forecasting,..)

22 GMES Climate Change monitoring service Climate monitoring and data integration Focus on GCOS ECVs Recovery, lodging, digitally archiving, homogenisation Delivering of consistent data sets of observational data For climate model initialisation for seasonal and decadal predictions For re-analysis and attribution Earth system re-analysis Including interactions between Atmosphere Ocean Land -Ice/Snow - Hydrological Cycle Dynamical vegetation Data assimilation with integrated observational data Portal for climate impact indicators Improve historical records of impact indicators Conversion into gridded data sets covering sparse regions Attribution service Natural climate variability versus human-induced effects Linking Disaster Risk Reduction to CC Relies on climate modelling capabilities

23 GMES: next steps 2014 onwards: GMES operational phase Need for long term and sustainable governance and funding New functions to be fulfilled, e.g. operations of services and space component Scope of services and observation architecture in continuity of the built-up phase Taking stock of past efforts and developments Governance and funding Communication of the EC on the next Multi-annual Financial Framework ( ): GMES proposed to be out of the EU budget Communication of the EC on GMES (Nov 2011) 2012 : discussion with Council and European Parliament : possibly new Regulation End 2013 : deadline for adopting new Regulation, together with Multiannual Financial Framework

24 Concluding remarks Pleiades = first European civil sub-metric optical satellite autonomous capacity Huge potential of Pleiades data in many GMES service areas and downstream services Emergency, Security Land, Reference mapping Marine (coastal areas), climate change monitoring Importance of VHR data for cal/val activities (e.g. validation of LR data & products) validation of GMES products Pleiades follow-on? Long term continuity of GMES Contributing missions Dialogue between EC/ESA and Member States/private owners 3 scenarios: Europeanization (Sentinel-like), bulk data buy agreements, shared infrastructure
