Environmental data and information

Data availability Lack of adequate, reliable and consistent environmental and socioeconomic data Scattered, limited, discontinued and insufficient data Institutional constraints in accessing and sharing data

There was data online from a 2006 environmental risk conference, other geospatial data, none of it integrated.

Working at the EROS Data Center, the team produced numerous maps and analyses, as well as a substantial environmental information system for the two basins using remotely sensed, map, and environmental data.

E. Harmonization of data collection activities with environmental economic accounting concepts and definitions

Because several environmental conventions, policies and programmes depend on national self assessment processes and environmental audits, young people highlight the need to be involved in environmental consultations, monitoring and data collection.

Presentations on remote sensing focused on the opportunities for using satellite data for environmental monitoring.

In West Asia, UNEP is a strategic partner in the Abu Dhabi Global Environmental Data Initiative (AGEDI), supporting regional and national efforts in environmental information development and management.

(e) Work towards the harmonization of data collection activities of environment and related statistics with concepts and definitions of environmental economic accounting, including the assurance of data quality.

This is a system that could put the next generation at the front lines of gathering environmental data.

They will provide improved access to data to support integrated environmental assessments and reporting activities in the regions.

The general exploration plan is to gather data on the mineral resources and to establish environmental baseline parameters.

The global study included a global environmental data and information systems knowledge base, global lessons learned for the design of environmental information systems and a conceptual design document for AGEDI.

It used these maps and other spatial data in a GIS with environmental models to estimate consumptive water use.

Pathfinders constitute a recent application of Earth science and other data sets, developed specifically to study global environmental change.

Landsat data applications support programs such as global change research, coastal zone monitoring, timber management, regional planning, and environmental monitoring.

The data portal provides access to a broad collection of harmonized environmental and socio economic data sets from authoritative sources at the global, regional, subregional and national levels and allows basic data analysis and the creation of maps and graphics.

This data will support technological developments and environmental monitoring in response to concerns of those governments about pollution and disease control.

The project is using satellite image data to map land use at the scale of 1 250,000 as a part of the Environmental Information Systems Development component of the Ghana Environmental Resources Management Project (GERMP).

State Parties shall exchange available information and data regarding the hydrological, hydro geological, water quality, meteorological and environmental condition of shared watercourses.

The GEO data portal is continually updated and upgraded by UNEP. This is an authoritative source for data sets used by UNEP and its partners in the GEO report and other integrated environmental assessment processes.

Harmonizing environment statistics and environmental economic accounting concepts, definitions and classifications would introduce statistical checks and balances in the data and produce consistent data systems from individual sets of environment statistics across time and countries.

The USGS was cooperating with the EPA, NOAA, and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to prepare a baseline of global, multiscale data on environmental characteristics and to develop mechanisms for identifying, monitoring, and assessing environmental change.

The contents of the GEO data portal cover a broad range of environmental themes such as climate, disasters, forests and freshwater, as well as categories in the socio economic domain, including education, health, the economy, population and environmental policies.

SCD 1, designed and built by the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE) is a small spin stabilized satellite dedicated to the collection and distribution of environmental data acquired and emitted by data collecting platforms over Brazilian territory.

Satellite data have been utilized in many fields, including agriculture, forestry, land use and land cover mapping, geology, map updating, natural disaster monitoring and environmental studies.

For this phase, warheads were followed, from their receipt to their breakdown into component parts, with environmental and non destructive assay data taken at each stage.

Among other activities, UNEP is supporting the data collection work and development of environmental indicators for the countries of Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia.

China has a developed terrestrial observation system consisting of a network that collects data on hydrological systems, ice and snow, ecological systems, agrometeorology and environmental protection.

For activity data, a cluster of countries based mainly on waste management practices could be used for estimating certain types of data, such as the waste generation rate, but not for estimating other types of data, such as the amount of waste incinerated or the amount of waste deposited, because these data largely depend on national environmental waste management policies.

(a) Firstly, it compiles a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information and analyses them with a view to identifying trends and taking stock of policy options

Environmental management This consists of environmental modification, environmental manipulation and measures to reduce human vector contact.

RADARSAT I will use synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to observe the Earth, even in darkness and through clouds, providing data essential to a variety of applications for resource management and environmental monitoring.

An Earth Witness site could also serve as a collection spot for all sorts of data about conditions around the planet picked up by environmental sensors that attach to your cell phone.

Huang Xingguo and his party came to the environmental monitoring site at the scene of August 12 Accident to conduct an on site observation of the surrounding environment and understand the monitoring data.

The MERCURE system would also provide much wider access to the Internet in Africa, and facilitate much more efficient dissemination of documents, environmental data, images and messages, resulting in substantial savings in telecommunications costs.

The successful April 13, 1994, launch of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) I, renamed GOES 8 once it achieved orbit, resulted in more precise and timely weather observation and provision of data on the atmosphere.

You say, This photograph, it's about it depicts this person. Bing! That's data. Data, data, data.

The analysis on environmental goods and services (EGS) focuses on identifying environmental goods of potential environmental and trade interest for developing countries.
