GEO
GEO (Group of Earth Observation) is a partnership of more than 100 national governments and organisations working to achieve a benefit based on Earth observation. GEO connects government institutions, academic and research institutions, data providers or companies to create innovative solutions to global challenges.
GEO manages GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems) to better integrate observing systems and share data by connecting existing infrastructures using common standards. There are more than 400 million open data resources in GEOSS from more than 150 national and regional providers such as NASA or ESA.
Although traditionally the thematic content accessible from GEOSS is direct Remote Sensing products (e.g. imagery or derived parameters), there are a large number of catalogued land occupation datasets that are useful for any global user.
