Community Event - GEO In-situ Data Strategy and Its Implementation Plan (ODOK Session)

Description

This session aims to advance understanding and alignment around the GEO in situ data strategy and its endorsement by bringing together key initiatives, user needs, and practical applications of in situ data. It will highlight the role of research infrastructures as custodians of high-quality in situ observations, present mechanisms, for articulating user requirements, and showcase integrated approaches combining Earth observation, citizen science, and non-space data sources for environmental compliance and decision-making. The session will also introduce the GEO in situ data strategy, inviting feedback and discussion to support its refinement, community buy-in, and formal endorsement.
