Project Objectives
The EU-funded GEOLAND2 project is carried out in the context of GMES, a joint initiative of European Commission (EC) and European Space Agency (ESA), which aims to build up a European capacity for Global Monitoring of Environment and Security.
The GEOLAND2 consortium, with 56 GEOLAND2 partners, has developed and demonstrated a range of reliable, affordable and cost efficient European geo-information services, based on available Earth Observation resources in combination with in-situ measurements, supporting the implementation of European directives and their national implementation, as well as European and International policies.
At ECMWF the GEOLAND2 project has developed an offline modelling and data assimilation prototype for land surface Carbon and Vegetation cycles.
