Introduction

ConnectinGEO aims at “Coordinating an Observation Network of Networks EnCompassing saTellite and IN-situ to fill the Gaps in European Observations.” Full information and the project is available at the ConnectinGeo.net web site.

The web workspace documents the progress of work in four work packages (WPs) of ConnectinGEO. The WPs included here are:

  • WP 2: Strategic Goals, Metrics, and Indicators
  • WP 3: European Network of Earth Observation Networks
  • WP 4: Observations and Essential Variables
  • WP 5: Stakeholder and Industry Challenges (Task 5.6: Interdisciplinary Challenge: The Food-Water-Energy Nexus)
  • WP 6: Gap Analysis and Priorities
  • WP 7: Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication

For WPs 2 and 6, which are led by Tiwah, the work space here is the main web documentation and work area for all tasks in these WPs. For WPs 3 and 7, only those parts Tiwah is leading or contributing to, documentation and work space is available here.
