Socio-ecological valuation of ecosystem services along the West Antarctic Pen...Jeff Bowman
The Palmer Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project is located along the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP), one of the most rapidly warming regions on the planet. Despite its remoteness the WAP supports a variety of social and economic activities, most notably in the fishing and tourism industries and in international scientific research. Because of the growing pressures imposed by these activities, the rapid rate of environmental change, relatively pristine nature of the environment, its trophic complexity, and rich scientific record, the WAP is an ideal place to explore the impact of climate change on marine and terrestrial ecosystems and the services and benefits they provide. Here we present a schema to conduct an initial assessment of WAP marine and terrestrial ecosystem services that will serve as a critical baseline for future studies, and that is broadly applicable to other LTER sites. We will combine social valuation and qualitative, expert-based modelling to identify relevant ecosystem services and to conduct an initial assessment and valuation of ecosystem service supply for the WAP region. The Palmer LTER team of investigators includes experts in topics ranging from physical oceanographic processes, to microbiology, to marine avian and mammal ecology. Through interviews and an online survey we will evaluate the views and perceptions of Antarctic ecosystem services and their changes among this group of experts. Our focus will be on biophysical ecosystem services, but we will include cultural ecosystem services and the impacts of changes on ecosystem functioning and ecosystem service supply in the expert elicitations. This qualitative, socio-ecological valuation will guide an expanded future assessment of WAP ecosystem services that include economic and socio-cultural realms of ecosystem service as perceived and valued by an expanded pool of experts and stakeholders.

Seagrass Mapping and Monitoring Along the Coasts of Crete, GreeceUniversität Salzburg
This research proposal introduces MSc thesis research. Study object is seagrass Posidonia oceanic (P. oceanica) along the coast of Crete, Greece. The most important facts about seagrass: endemic Mediterranean seagrass, P. oceanica is a main species in marine coastal environment of Greece. P. oceanica is the largest, the most widespread, homogeneous, dense “mattes” forming meadows between 5-40 m in Mediterranean Sea. Seagrass is a component of coastal ecosystems of high importance for the marine life, playing important functions in the marine environment. Seagrasses are subjects to external factors and therefore have environmental vulnerability. The study area is located in General research area: Island of Crete, Greece. Seagrass sampling will be performed at three stations at a depth of 6-7 m: Heraklio, Agia Pelagia, Xerokampos, Crete Island, Greece. The general research objectives of the MSc research includes GIS and environmental analysis: 1) Mapping the extent of the spatial distribution of seagrass P. oceanica along the northern coast of Crete; 2) Monitoring environmental changes in seagrass meadows in the selected fieldwork sites (Agia Pelagia, Xerokampos) over the 10-year period (2000-2010). There are various multi-sources data proposed for using in spatial analysis. data of the previous measurements received during the last year fieldwork, to analyze whether P.oceanica is spectrally distinct from other sea floor types, using the differences in the spectral signatures on the graphs in a WASI, the Water Color Simulator software.

C6.05: New ocean-colour products for the user community - Shubha Sathyendrana...Blue Planet Symposium
The ocean-colour component of the Climate Change Initiative of the European Space Agency has generated a time series of bio-optical products from late 1997 to mid 2012. The products are based on data from SeaWiFS, MODIS-A and MERIS sensors, band shifted (to bring data to a common set of wavebands), corrected for inter-sensor bias, and then merged. Products include remote-sensing reflectances at SeaWiFS wavelengths, chlorophyll concentration, diffuse attenuation coefficient at 490 nm, and inherent optical properties (components of absorption and back-scattering coefficients). Practically all the products have uncertainties (root-mean-square difference and bias) associated with them on a pixel-by-pixel basis, based on validation using in situ data. The first version of the products are available freely at www.oceancolour.org and at www.esa-oceancolour-cci.org. A second version is expected to be released prior to the Blue Planet Symposium in Australia in 2015. Furthermore, plans are underway to add to the product suite through a number of related ESA projects. New products envisaged include primary production, photosynthesis parameters, components of the carbon pool in the ocean and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) at the sea surface. User consultation and serving the user community are very much a part of these projects, and the Blue Planet provides a useful forum for reaching users from a variety of backgrounds. The work reported here contribute to components C2 (Sustained Ecosystems and Food Security) and C5 (Ocean Climate and Carbon) of the “Oceans and Society: Blue Planet” initiative of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO).

Jenny Deakin from the EPA Catchments Unit gave a Teagasc Signpost Seminar on April 20 2021. The seminar covered water quality, focused on the agricultural sector, and the solutions needed to improve water quality, and new tools to target the right measure in the right place. This includes upgraded Pollution Impact Potential Maps for Nitrogen and Phosphorus, together with overland flow and focused delivery points.
On 25 November 2020 the EPA published Ireland’s Environment - An Integrated Assessment 2020 which provides an assessment of the overall quality of Ireland's environment, the pressures being placed on it and the societal responses to current and emerging environmental issues.
This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s rivers.
Ireland has more than 73,000 km of river channels. If placed end-to-end, they could encircle the Earth almost twice. Three-quarters of these channels are very small streams that typically flow into larger rivers.
Biological monitoring has been carried out in Irish rivers since 1971. The current national river monitoring programme covers more than 13,000 km of river channel.
The national monitoring programme is run by the EPA and focuses on the main river channels rather than the smaller streams. The programme includes more than 2,800 sites sampled for biology, with almost half of these being sampled for physical and chemical parameters.
This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring phytoplankton in Ireland's marine environment.
The EPA and the Marine Institute sample phytoplankton in estuaries and coastal waters around Ireland. They carry out sampling three times during the summer and once during winter. At each location, they take water samples just below the surface and above the seabed. They use the samples to assess how much phytoplankton is in the water and what species are present.
Phytoplankton are tiny, free-floating plants found suspended in the world’s oceans. Their name comes from Greek and means ‘plant drifter’. They are carried along by ocean currents and are usually found floating near the surface of the water. Like all plants they need sunlight to grow.
The main sources of nutrients around Ireland’s coast are discharges from wastewater treatment plants and run off from agricultural land. Phytoplankton in the estuaries and coastal waters around Ireland are monitored by the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) and the Marine Institute. They monitor phytoplankton to assess the quality (status) of our marine environment. They must do this as part of the requirements of the European Water Framework Directive.
This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s marine environment.
Ecologically healthy marine waters are a valuable natural resource. They support a rich and diverse range of ecosystems, habitats and species, and they are also a source of food – from wild fisheries and aquaculture. They are also important for recreational activities and tourism.
Transitional and coastal waters are assessed under the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). Having coordinated frameworks for water quality for all the water bodies in Ireland, and across Europe, allows us to compare our results with other countries. It allows us to see what works to help us make sure all our water bodies achieve at least ‘good’ status, and no deterioration occurs.
This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s lakes.
A total of 225 lakes are currently included as part of the national surface waters monitoring programme run by the EPA, this covers around 80% of the surface area of all lakes in Ireland.
This includes:
• all lakes greater than 50 hectares
• lakes that are used for supplying drinking water
• lakes that are of regional, local or scientific interest
This Plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring aquatic plants in Irish lakes.
Aquatic plants are good at showing if the quality of the water is good or bad and play an important role in lake ecology by providing food and a habitat for many smaller plants, animals and birds.
They also:
• provide shelter for young fish
• help to improve the clarity of the water
• help stabilise lake shore banks
• reduce the amount of sediment being suspended in the water
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) monitors these aquatic plants at more than 10,000 sites in over 200 lakes once every three years.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

FP7 – Environment – National Information Day, Dublin 6th October 2010 6
• Proven capacity in space hardware
development / construction, algorithm
development and operational
generation of a subset of ECVs (gaps
do exist)
• World-leading capabilities in the
reanalysis of climate data and
assimilation of these and satellite
derived observations to provide high
quality analysis of climate and climate
change
• Relevant and capable institutions, with
complementary (though not always
synergistic) modes of operation
7. Current Capacity for FCDR/ECVs
FP7 – Environment – National Information Day, Dublin 6th October 2010 7
• 31 of the GCOS ECVs are measurable through space-based observations
• European capacity currently available or commissioned to measure 29 of
these ECVs
• Around 40% of these 29 are available through end-to-end production (e.g.
CCI, some EUMETSAT SAF and GMES Services) – but long-term
guarantees for operational production still have to be secured.
However:
• FDCR/ECV provisioning and reanalysis/assimilation in Europe is based
on research funding or performed in the margins of numerical weather
prediction (NWP)
• Because funding is not from an operational budget line Europe is unable
to make the move from research to operations
• We are having to de-scope planned activities, even where these are
essential and based on proven world-class science. This underplays
European scientific capacity, is a handicap to joint implementation and
makes it impossible for a climate service to deliver sustained information,
as required in any legal or operational setting
8. The way forward to operational systems
FP7 – Environment – National Information Day, Dublin 6th October 2010 8
• Joint Programme implementation is needed to fill gaps, avoid
overlap and promote synergy
• Domain-based approaches (atmosphere, ocean and land) should
be enhanced by an integrated approach using dedicated
assimilation schemes
• Increased computing power (computational/storage, bandwidth
and skilled personnel) is needed to ensure that coupled Earth
System models can be run, and that the spatial and temporal
resolution of these can be improved
• The improvements should build on established skills centres
nationally & at the European level.
Effective provisioning of data and information needs a stable
financial platform which guarantees sustained support for
– a) the space segment making measurements
– b) for the processing, product generation and their QA/QC
– c) for reanalysis and assimilation strategies to turn these data
into policy relevant information
9. What Next ?
FP7 – Environment – National Information Day, Dublin 6th October 2010 9
• Because activities are funded from many sources the
overall amount is difficult to establish. A dedicated
study is needed to identify the current levels of public
expenditure on climate information provision. From this
we can then estimate the budget needed to secure
operational climate information services in Europe.
• A gap analysis performed on the basis of sensor
capacity this may be VERY different to one based on
product availability, this will be a topic for future work
(maybe in the context of CEOS)
• There is a notable difference between the availability of
climate relevant products and generation of systematic
time-series of GCOS compatible ECVs, future initiatives
should acknowledge this and strive to achieve the
demanding GCOS standards

Dynamics Using MERIS & SeaWiFS data
FP7 – Environment – National Information Day, Dublin 6th October 2010 14
• Operational MERIS Level2 products (i.e. MGVI) provide
FAPAR daily values at 1.2 km since April 2002.
• The retrieval algorithm is physically based using TOA
BRF in blue, red and NIR bands as inputs (Gobron et al.,
1999, 2001).
• Time-composite assigns one representative value over
10-days or monthly period (Pinty et al., 2002).
• Remapping code is used by averaging available FAPAR
values within 0.5º x 0.5º grid-cell to make global
products (Taberner et al., 2004).
• MERIS global products are processed at G-POD (ESRIN).
• FAPAR from SeaWiFS data from 09/1997 are produced at
JRC following same way (Gobron et al., 2001, Mélin et al., 2002).

Annual 2009 FAPAR anomalies at the global scale relative to the period 1998
to 2009 average: The strongest positive anomalies are found in Eastern Brazil
and South Africa whilst South America and East Africa exhibit the strongest
negative anomalies; the persistent droughts in Southern America, East Africa
and Australia are clearly manifest in poor vegetation growth and vigour.

Time series of monthly anomalies averaged along lines of longitude: the
presence of a negative trend occurring over a latitude band 30º to 50º in
the Southern Hemisphere. This trend is strong enough to yield global
monthly negative anomalies for the most recent years.
