Environmental Observation Systems Sample Clauses

Environmental Observation Systems. This Task is a crucial stage in the process of developing observation systems that have wider ap- plication in the mining and environmental management process. There are existing models that describe the behaviour of earth systems and processes, such as the expected movement of water within an aquifer below a mine site, for example, and these will be developed further in Task 4.2. Models are widely used in the industry, but they are often data poor and make many assumptions about specific model parameters. EO data offer one way of ensuring that such models are based on real observations about these parameters and thus provide a way to calibrate such models, improving their utility and the accuracy of any forecasts based upon them. Global Earth observa- tion systems are typically characterised by well-integrated EO data that are combined with well- calibrated models; classic examples include the Global Climate Observing System and the Global Ocean Observing System. There is no such Observing System for the shallow subsurface today. This Task will integrate the modelling component developed in Task 4.2 with the EO products from Task 4.1, in order to identify the main elements of a shallow subsurface observing system for the minerals sector. Such as system will consider both the practical elements that would be required by the mining and environmental industry and also how such elements would feed into an observ- ing system in the sense that GEO intends, as a contribution to the GEOSS in this sector. The out- come will be documented in a report. This Task will be led by BGS and will involve DLR, BRGM, CGS, WI, AOL-ATD, CGS.
