1 GMES in Poland: Achievements and Challanges Marek Banaszkiewicz Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences

2 GMES in Poland 2 Responsible Ministry: Higher Education and Science Cooperating Ministries: Economy Environment and Chief Inspectorate for Environment Protection Foreign Affairs Internal Affairs Priority areas: Emergency Land Monitoring Security

3 3 Research sector Institute of Geodesy and Cartography (geoland2) Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (SAF) Forestry Research Institute Institute of Environment Protection (MACC) Institute of Oceanalogy PAS Marine Institute (MyOcean) Space Research Centre PAS (geoland2, G- MOSAIC) The Main School of Fire Service

4 Companies 4 Geosystems Polska Forrest classification and assessment of CO2 storage DTM of Poland Land cover SmallGIS GIS Dedicated solutions Forrest condition assessment Spatial planning Astri Polska Emergency management tools

5 Users 5 Central Statistical Office crop evaluation Chief Inspectorate of Environment Protection atmosphere pollution monitoring Fire Brigades floods Border Guards permaeability and trafficability of borders Ministry of Foreign Affairs crisis situations in the world Municipalities spatial planning

6 Achievements 6 GMES-Poland, first EC project dedicated to GMES ( ) GMES institutional framework and high priority in the National Space Programme GMES Implementation plan ready Increased awareness and growing number of users Experience in EO technology development (SPECTROP hyperspectral camera for UAVs, Fourier Spectrometer for atmosphere monitoring)

7 6th and 7th FP projects 7 GMES-Poland (SRC) PEARL (satellite and in-situ data used for environment monitoring in ports and harbours, SRC) LIMES (external security of UE) geoland2 (SRC, IGiK) MONINA (IGiK) G-MOSAIC G-Sextant & G-Next

8 PECS projects 8 Flood warning system for a single catchment Carbon balance assessment for Polish forests Biebrza wetlands as an ecosystem in transition Biofuels: where to grow them and how efficient it can be VHR satellite data in spatial planning (URBANSAT)

9 Challanges 9 Lack of legal basis to use EO images as monitoring tools Bareer of initial investment in hardware, sofware for data processing and cost od satellite data Lack of trained employees in central and local administration (GIS and remote sensing methods) Question about sustainability of the system Difficulty of industry getting involved in Sentinels development

10 Examples 10 geoland2/satchmo AFS Europe G-MOSAIC Safer activation during the flood in Poland in 2010 Geonetcab

11 11 The example of change detection method, applied over the part of Warsaw. Left Ikonos 2002 image, centre Ikonos 2008 image. Right change in land cover between 2002 and 2008.

12 VHR images in Area Frame 12 Sampling SATChMo task (CMS) in geoland2: SRC, IGiK + 11 partners from UE; 114 images with1m pixel from the whole UE Italy Poland

13 13 GMES services for Management of Operations, Situation Awareness and Intelligence for regional Crises support EU external relations policies with the provision of geo-spatial information in terms of security. It covers early warning and crisis prevention as well as crisis management and rapid interventions in hot spots around the world. SRC objective in the project is to develop and validate: Monitoring of (military) activities, border-crossing and related infrastructure along the borders; Long range migration routes and temporary settlements along the routes.

16 Recommendations for water removal phases of analysis 16

17 17 GEO Network for Capacity Building is a project with the aim to create the conditions for the improvement and increase of usage the earth observation products and services for the social benefits. SRC within the project is preparing a market report with the inventory of the current situation of the EO sector in Poland and identification of opportunities and bottlenecks for it. The project covers also educational and networking activities, such as participation and organization of the conferences, scientific picnics, trainings, meetings and cooperation with other institutions and companies in the field.
