Overview of land precursor activities
FP6 GEOLAND and FP7 GEOLAND2 project, Boss4GMES;
ESA GSE Land, Urban services, Forest, GMFS;
Corine LC/LCCC (since 1986…)
Land Fast Track Service Precursor: development of 1 High Resolution layer using Image 2006 (Soil sealing)
Urban Atlas (DG REGIO funding)
Preparatory action on Reference Data Access started in June 2009
And the results of consultation of user communities

GIO Land components
Local : zooming on ‘hot spot’ (e.g. urban atlas, protected areas, coastal areas)
Continental : pan-European products (Corine 2012, 5 HRLs soil sealing, forest, agriculture, wetland, water)
Global : bio-physical parameters (Essential Climate Variables (ECVs), food security (Africa) etc.)
Local component – Urban Atlas EU component - CLC Global component – ECV*s

Delegated tasks to EEA
GMES land monitoring service: Pan-European Continental Component
Providing land cover and land cover change information at Pan-European scale
GMES land monitoring service: Local Component
Providing very HR information on specific areas of interest at European level (as defined in GMES annual work programmes)
Dissemination + archiving + cataloguing
START: signature EEA/EU and END: 31/12/2015
Operational implementation phase: start  31/12/2014
01/01/2015  31/12/2015: closure phase

GIO land Pan-European CONTINENTAL component
Post-processing space data + automatic extraction of intermediate products (incl. mosaic of ortho-rectified HR images + other intermediate products s.a. Biophysical variables)
Production of 5 HR layers
Artificial surfaces: imperviousness layer (0-100%) (former soil sealing);
Forest areas: tree cover density (0-100%) and forest type (broadleaved or coniferous);
Agricultural areas: occurrence of permanent grassland (2006, 2009, 2012)
Wetlands (wetland inventory)
Water bodies: permanent water bodies (2006, 2009, 2012)
characteristics at pixel level + validated 1 ha grid cell

3. New Corine Land Covery inventory:
Corine Land Cover Change mapping 2006-2012
Resolution 5ha (for standard 44 Corine Land Cover Classes)
Corine Land Cover Map 2012
Support to harmonization of national monitoring at EU level
Harmonize national land cover activities of Member States
Improve synergies with Pan-European land cover activities (as LUCAS)
4. Validation + quality control
5. Collection of in situ data
(non space data)

GMES Land monitoring service: LOCAL component
Post-processing of Very High Resolution (VHR) space data
Production of VHR information on specific areas of interest
Biodiversity on Natura2000 sites -> monitoring of riparian zones
Validation + quality control
Collection of in situ data
Non-space data (incl. ancillary + reference data)

Production scheme for the Pan-European CONTINENTAL component of GIO Land

High Resolution Layers (HRL)
Reference year: 2012 (also 2006 and 2009)
Satellite image resolution: 20 x 20 m
Intermediate products: 20 x 20 m
MMU (Minimum Mapping Unit): 1ha (validation)  imperviousness in 2006 (0 – 100 %): http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/eea-fast-track-service-precursor-on-land-monitoring-degree-of-soil-sealing-100m

Verification High Resolution Layers
Identifying systematic classification errors
Randomly selected samples
Visual inspection
O mission and commission errors
Carried out on the intermediate products at full resolution (20m x 20m, in national projection)

Enhancement High Resolution Layers
Data content to be improved on the basis of the findings of the verification task
All enhancements shall be done for the full resolution datasets (20m x 20m, in national projection)
It is requested to specify which improvements shall be done through automatic processes and/or manual interactive processes

Decision tree between centralised procurement and decentralised delivery by participating countries for the High Resolution Layers

Budget implementation strategy (1)
Framework Service Contracts (implemented by Specific Contracts) for the following tasks:
Production of 5 HR layers
Direct Service Contracts for the following tasks:
Satellite mosaic
Validation of products
Dissemination, cataloguing and archiving

Budget implementation strategy (2)
Grant Agreements for the following tasks:
CLC-changes;
CLC2012;
Verification of 5 HR layers;
Enhancement of 5 HR layers
Dissemination
Access to in-situ data (in-kind contribution)

Statistics
Changes in imperviousness in Europe:
Increase of sealed area 2009 towards sealed area 2006 in % per country Increase of sealed area 2009 towards sealed area 2006 in km² per country Sealed area in % of total country area Courtesy: Geoland-2

Urban sprawl & natura2000

Imperviousness in coastal zone management Outstanding problem: Quantitative use of imperviousness for change information

Imperviousness seeding for scenarios development?

Imperviousness & increasing nr. of tropical nights

Summary
DATA AVAILABILITY:

5 HRLs (artificial, forest, agriculture, wetlands and water bodies)
CLC-changes 2006-2012 (CLC90, CLC2000,CLC2006, CLC2012)
PROCESS:
Improve production process (share between industry and Member States)
Improve production time (from ~ 3 to 1 year) for more frequent updating
Development of new products based on core data
New calls (product validation, local component)
