The Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS): a vital source for information

For many years, the science and decision making communities in remote sensing, GIS and geospatial sciences and technology have seen the rapid proliferation of data and information systems. We all are all aware of many thousands of separate data systems in constant use usually cannot be used in combination for several reasons including the compatibility. We have experienced firsthand that the decision-makers and users at many levels all utilize the data from satellite remote sensing, aerial surveys, land or ocean-based monitoring systems and a vast array of socio-economic information. The Earth observation data being collected are just a one of many resources that could be put to excellent use in every region of the world. It is evident that we need integrated data sets to fill in the gaps in scientific understanding and problem solving. Thus, as stated on NOAA website “GEOSS is turning Earth into a new frontier, driving a deeper understanding of Earth’s complex systems in a way that will greatly improve our predictive capabilities and bring vital societal benefits to people around the globe. The aim is to provide the right information, in the right format, to the right people, at the right time, to make the right decisions. Cutting across borders, sectors and disciplines to open a world of possibilities, GEOSS enables us to envision a world where more people will be fed, more resources will be protected, more diseases will be mitigated or even prevented, and more lives will be saved from environmental disasters. GEOSS recognizes that no matter how effective and efficient all of our single-purpose Earth observation systems may be, their value multiplies when they can work in synergy. GEOSS is an innovative attempt to provide integrated information resources. We invite you publish your research utilizing the GEOSS data sources in the pages of this journal.
