Successful Land Cover CCI Kick-Off meeting

A successful kick-off meeting was held at the Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium) on August 24-25. The meeting enabled to establish a first dialog between the climate modellers and the EO communities in order to assess the key requirements of the land cover product users. The meeting also helped to prepare the consortium for the co-location meeting that would take place at ESRIN on 15-17 September with the other ECV projects.

November 2010 - Release of the first CCI Land Cover Newsletter

The first newsletter of the ESA Land Cover CCI project has been released at the COP-16 in Cancun. The Newsletter presents the objective of the project, the partners of the consortium and the first result of the user requirements assessment. The newsletter can be downloaded here.

Land_Cover_cci project

  

 

The Land Cover CCI project aims to design and demonstrate a prototype system delivering a global land product matching the GCOS requirements in a consistent way over years and from various EO instruments.   Building upon the ESA-GlobCover experiences, this global land cover information is specifically targeting the needs of the climate change community.
