SIBERIA-II (Sib2)

Multi-Sensor Concepts for Greenhouse Gas Accounting of Northern Eurasia

The overall objective of SIBERIA-II was to demonstrate the viability of full carbon accounting (including greenhouse gases: CO2, CO, CH4, N2O, NOx) on a regional basis using the environmental tools and systems available to us today and in the near future. The region under study is Northern Eurasia, covering an area of more than 200 million ha and representing a significant part of the Earth's boreal biome which plays a critical role in global climate.

SIBERIA

SAR Imaging for Boreal Ecology and Radar Interferometry Applications

The primary objective of the SIBERIA project is to support the development of sustainable management policies at the strategic and operative levels in order to manage the Russian forest resources in an efficient and ecological way. This development is based on up-to-date information on forest resources and related variables where existing inventory data is to be validated and confirmed.

GSE FM

GSE Forest Monitoring in Russia

The GSE Forest Monitoring consortium was set up to address the policy related demands for securing the ecological functions in the forestry and landuse sector.

GMES Russia

Global Monitoring for Environment and Security

GMES-RUSSIA established a network of key data providers and users between the European component of GMES and Russia and contributes thus to the implementation of this specific EC programme. GMES-RUSSIA produced a current assessment of EO and in-situ data capabilities, on-going research activities and modelling approaches in Russia with respect to the GMES tasks.

SIB-ESS-C

Siberian Earth System Science Cluster

The mission of the Siberian Earth System Science Cluster is to provide a web-based infrastructure and comprehensive information products derived from Earth Observation that support environmental and earth system research in central Siberia.

SibFORD

Earth Observation for Assessment of Forest Disturbances induced Carbon Emissions in Central Siberia

The SibFORD project aims at the development of methods and tools to estimate carbon emissions induced by forest disturbances using Earth observation (EO) techniques in combination with in-situ data and contemporary models, and to improve the understanding of human impacts on the carbon balance in boreal ecosystems through analysis of multi-annual integrated land surface-model / remote sensing datasets.

GOFC-GOLD LC PO

ESA GOFC-GOLD Land Cover Implementation Team Project Office

The primary function of the Land Cover Implementation Team (LC-IT) is to develop and evaluate methods, tools and products for land cover measurements and monitoring using space-borne and in-situ observations. The LC-IT assesses current needs and deficiencies for global and regional monitoring to support Global Change research, national and regional forest inventories and international policy.
