UK centre to keep watch on Earth

The launch of Europe's Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer (Goce) satellite set for Monday will be the first large-scale effort involving the UK's new National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO) since its official inauguration earlier this month.

The NCEO hopes to unite satellite, remote sensing, and ground-based data, integrating it with environmental models to provide an overarching view of the systems of our planet.


I have gathered all the information I could find about this and have posted it at the Worldview blog

I have also found video that realtes to the story and have posted it as well.

There is a lot of information to read and to view. I may post more thoughts as I have looked at all the data.

Here is the link to everything Worldview

No need to monitor the earth's ecosystems. Quit polluting, cutting down rain forests, poaching endangered species, and dumping into our ground water. Problem solved. Grats!
