Group on Earth Observations (GEOSS): Applications - Part 2 of 2

People are increasingly aware of the environment and the impact of war, pollution, natural disasters, and urban development on the environment. But there is less awareness of how scientists and engineers are using satellites and remote sensing technology to document, analyze and solve global problems.

The IEEE Committee on Earth Observation (ICEO) facilitates broad-based IEEE participation in the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) and its international effort to create a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) for applying Earth observation data and information for societal benefits. The focus of GEO and ICEO is helping to improve living conditions, particularly in developing countries, through the development of GEOSS, a realizable global resource for decision makers at all levels. http://www.ieee-earth.org/
