GEOVILLE AND GMES (GLOBAL MONITORING FOR ENVIRONMENT AND SECURITY)

tl_files/test_gmes/gmes_logo.png represents a concentrated effort to bring data and information providers together with users, so they can better understand each other and make environmental and security-related information available to the people who need it through new enhanced services.

GMES is the next flagship initiative for space in Europe after Galileo, contributing to establish a European capacity for Global Monitoring for Environment and Security. GeoVille has been playing a key role in GMES services for land applications, related to both land cover production as well as downstream services in the spatial planning domain.

 

PAN-EUROPEAN LAND COVER MAPPING FOR THE EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY (EEA)
CORINE LAND COVER MAPPING
GMES-Fast-Track-Service

In the first operational GMES application for land monitoring, GeoVille was part of a service provider network to map built-up areas and soil sealing for Europe. A consistent high-resolution land cover data base covering 5.8 mio square kilometres was made available.

GeoVille has been responsible for mapping of 12 countries, for set-up of the processing chain, for training the consortium partners comprising GISAT s.r.o. (Cz), Infoterra GmbH (D; Prime), Metria (S), Planetek srl. (It), Tragsatec SA (ES) and acted as thematic and scientific advisor to the European Environment Agency. GeoVille was also involved in the subsequent upgrade and update for 2009.

Since 2007 GeoVille has implemented several Corine mapping projects: CLC2006 for Luxembourg, CLC2006 for Albania, and a CLC-type map in the context of the Egnatia motorway project.

In addition GeoVille has managed the implementation of CLC2006 in six Western Balkan Countries (Bosnia Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Kosovo).

EEA FRAMEWORK CONTRACT FOR THE PROVISION OF DATA SERVICES
BOSS4GMES

GeoVille signed a 4-year framework contract with the European Environment Agency for the provision of dataservices. Through this framework contract the EEA procures external data sets (e.g. Eurogeographics products) as well as related services.

The BOSS4GMES project provided the technical, financial and contractual foundations enabling the transition of GMES from a concept to an effective, operational programme.

As such BOSS4GMES links GMES with key political
decision makers, a broader sphere of users and the wider public.

GeoVille provided substantial input for operationalising the validation of land information services.

GSE LAND
GMES NETWORK OF USERS (GNU)
GSE LAND

GSE Land Information Services aimed at delivering
geoinformation services, which are harmonised and standardised for cross-border applications.
By integrating this information into existing infrastructure, models and management tools international and national public institutions are enabled to fulfil their reporting and management obligations in an improved way.

GeoVille was in this ESA GSE Stage 2
project task manager on the “Impervious areas and sealing levels” and responsible for service implementation in 10 European countries.

GNU

GNU intends to initiate a structuring of the GMES demand side by setting up an independent platform that will become the focal point and mouthpiece of European GMES user needs, and, likewise will foster a systematic dialogue between the stakeholder communities.

GeoVille supports the project in the future design of a land monitoring core service.
GEOLAND 1 & 2
SOIL SAGE

The ambition of EC-FP6 funded project geoland was to develop and demonstrate a range of European geoinformation services for supporting the implementation of European directives. GeoVille was Manager of the Spatial Planning Observatory

The EC-FP7 funded geoland2 aims to organise a qualified production network and demonstrate operational processing lines. GeoVille is responsible for production of core mapping products for the GMES Land Monitoring core service and managing the core information service for Spatial Planning.

The "Service for the Provision of Advanced Geo-Information on Environmental Pressure and State" (SAGE) offers a comprehensive product portfolio to serve the demands from the European Water and Soil Framework Directives.

GeoVille acted in this ESA-GSE Stage 1 Project as Task Manager of SoilSAGE.

AUSTRIAN CLUSTER FOR GMES
 
AUSTRIAN CLUSTER FOR GMES

The Austrian Cluster for GMES (Global Monitoring of Environment and Security) combines the forces of industry, applied research, university institutes and user organisations to develop sustainable Earth Observation (EO) based services in the settlement and alpine environment context.
GeoVille is the project co-ordinator of this project financed by the FFG/BMVIT via the Austrian National Space Programme (ASAP).
GMES Preparatory Projects
LAND INFORMATION SYSTEM AUSTRIA
Geoland

The aim of NEOS-QUICK was to explore the capabilities and limitations of novel EO systems for mapping Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) parameters as specified by the reporting standards of the Kyoto Protocol.

GeoVille has been the co-ordinator of this project financed by the FFG/BMVIT via the Austrian National Space Programme (ASAP).

LisaS

The development of a national Land Information System for Austria (LISA) was funded and initiated through the special GMES initiative of the Austrian Space Application Programme (ASAP).

GeoVille is project leader and responsible for the full cycle development and implementation of a standardised Land Information System for Austria.
