J-G05 - Integrated Earth Observing Systems

Earth observations are the fundamental basis for most IUGG scientific
research, activities, and applications. Integrating these observations
is of increasing importance to better understand our planet Earth and
the scientific and societal challenges that we face now and in the
coming decades. These observations are of vital importance for virtually
all associations working under the auspices of IUGG and for
inter-association and even inter-Union activities that are being further
developed or initiated. Entities like the Global Ocean Observing System
(GOOS), the Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS), and the Global
Climate Observing System (GCOS), along with the Global Geodetic
Observing System (GGOS), demonstrate the need for highly collaborative
international observations that target key
questions, and for the systems necessary to integrate them for
multi-disciplinary applications and decision-making. The importance of
developing global observing strategies is recognized by GEO, the Group
on Earth Observations, with its main aim to develop the GEOSS (Global
Earth Observation System of Systems), which is supported on the
government level by more than 80 countries. This symposium will give an
overview of the major international developments underway towards
integrating Earth observations, Inter-Union activities of the
International Council for Science (ICSU), and developments within the
IUGG associations.
