AquaWatch
AQUAWATCHConvenerFocuses on global water quality monitoring and management.
Water and Land Sustainability involves examining the interactions and interdependencies between water and land to promote their sustainable use, ensuring long-term resource availability and security.
GEO is uniquely positioned to monitor changes in water quality and quantity, land cover, and land use; track pollution from land to freshwater and marine systems; observe coastal erosion; and support holistic decision-making through comprehensive data that enhances land and water sustainability.
Through integrated Earth Intelligence solutions, GEO activities such as GEO-LDN, Earth Observations for Global Typical Karst, Aquawatch and GEO Blue Planet support:
Focuses on global water quality monitoring and management.
Advances Earth observations for monitoring and managing karst ecosystems.
Tracks environmental impacts of mining operations.
Focuses on ocean and coastal observations to support sustainable use.
Addresses global water sustainability through Earth observation-based solutions.
Provides tools and data to support global efforts in achieving land degradation neutrality.
This work aligns with:
GEO will advance tools for water monitoring, promote innovative solutions like AI-driven analytics for pollution control, and integrate community-based approaches to foster global water sustainability.
Provides accessible Earth observation data to support sustainable development in Africa.
Advancing and operationalizing Digital Earth, at an initial stage, through the Earth Observation (EO) Data Cubes efforts, with a focus on implementing global principles in local contexts
Provides tailored Earth observation solutions for Pacific Island nations.
Enhances disaster resilience through Earth observations.
Leverages Earth observations to support achievement of the SDGs.
Integrates Earth observations for sustainable resource management.
Focuses on Earth observations for cryosphere monitoring and research.
GEO-IA contributes to a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable approach to Earth observation initiatives that benefit Indigenous communities, the scientific community, and global efforts to harmoniously coexist with our planet.
Improves monitoring and management of global wetlands.
A step toward realizing the massive untapped potential for GEO and GEO Youth to mutually benefit from critical, deliberate engagement with one another.
Advances Earth observations for monitoring mountain ecosystems.
Enhances wildfire monitoring and risk assessment using Earth observations.
Hydrometeorological data in Africa should be publicly available, open, and free, but there is a lack of resources to realize this.
Uses Earth observations for enhancing security applications.
An international community focused on the value and socioeconomic impacts of geospatial information for decision-making
