Earth Observations Value: Agriculture
Drought costs in U.S. = $6-8B annually

Better ocean observations = more accurate forecasts &
effective warnings

GEOSS Implementation
Data Management Needs New systems mean 100-
fold increase in data Current systems already
face challenges Development of browser
and visualization systems— underpinned by core geospatial technologies
Interoperability through protocols and standards

Other National Earth Observation Efforts
Other countries are following the lead of the US and Europe in developing their own national integration structures:
Canada China Japan Morocco South Africa
