Towards a distributed Earth Science Data Infrastructure

Arab States Research and Education Network (ASREN) launch event
8 December 2010 - Cairo, Egypt
ASREN's aims are to implement, manage and extend sustainable pan-Arab e-Infrastructures dedicated to the use of research and education communities and to boost scientific research and cooperation in member countries through the provision of world-class e-Infrastructures and e-services. Its key objectives are to build, maintain and consolidate regional e-Infrastructures dedicated to e-Science and Education across the Arab countries; to help create and sustain National Research and Education Networks in Arab countries where they are not yet available; and to facilitate collaboration and cooperation among researchers and academics.

Luigi Fusco of the European Space Agency presented the initiatives of the European Space Agency (ESA) in large scale Environmental and Earth Science projects, outlining the social and economic benefits of earth science infrastructures.

Earth Science Research Infrastructures: Social and Economic Benefits
Presentation given at the meeting by Luigi Fusco, Senior Advisor for Earth Observation Applications, the European Space Agency.

8th e-Infrastructure Concertation Meeting
4-5 November 2010 - Geneva, Switzerland
The e-Infrastructure Concertation Meetings focus on supporting grid and high-performance computing in Europe. Key players in the e-Infrastructures' community in the new Distributed Computing Infrastructures era came together to discuss and present their work towards a long term sustainable e-Infrastructure for scientific research in Europe. The ultimate aim is to develop a world-class resource as part of a strategy to achieve European leadership in e-Science.

Roberto Cossu, Project Engineer, European Space Agency, introduced the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) that is composed of contributed earth observation systems, ranging from primary data collection systems to systems concerned with the creation and distribution of information products and emphasised on its nine societal benefit areas: disasters, health, energy, climate, water, weather, ecosystems, agriculture and biodiversity. He also presented the GENESI-DEC project (INFRA-2010-1.2.3) that is adding up on the Earth Science e-Infrastructure connecting Digital Repositories spread all over Europe and listed the specific socio-economic benefits in the aforementioned nine areas.
