1 1rst Arctic and High-Latitude Products Evolution and Validation Workshop Ottawa, November 12-13, 2014 Yves Crevier 1

2 In the Footsteps of MORSE Outcomes of MORSE: Supported the development of a statement of user requirements - still meaningful and purposeful; Provided a focus on the monitoring of the Arctic with a aim to enhance the use of Satellite based data for the development of practical and innovative applications; Several projects were supported with key Arctic stakeholders (see Guy Aubé et al. presentation); Ready for the next steps 2

3 Comply with Guiding Principles "Technology and science are only as good as our ability to use the information they provide" "The successes are dependent on our ability to relay the information the final mile to the people" Marine Scientist, No. 17, 2006 About the tsunami warning system 3

4 Arctic and High-Latitude Products Validation and Evolution 4 Addresses the downstream segments of the EO value chain - development, assessment and improvement of the broad spectrum of capabilities offered by Spacebased Earth observation technologies; Covers issues related to a) the definition of algorithms, b) the validation, accuracy and uncertainties assessment of information products, c) the assimilation of products in models for decision making, d) in-situ data networks, e) inventories of scientific activities that contribute to the operational adoption of satellite-based product, f)the user perspective in the north, etc; Brings together more than 80 participants representing all segments of the value chain.

5 APVE Participants - Distribution Industry Government University Representation (Canada, US, Europe): Industry: Value added, products and services, consulting, data providers, NGOs Government: Science, policy, enablers, end-users, data providers, products and services Number of Participants: 75 Count on Nov. 10 University: Canadian, foreign, all sectors / workshop themes 5

6 Canadian Context and APVE APVE is relevant to the objectives of Canada s policy framework in the Arctic, the Canada New Space Policy Framework, and the Canadian Space Agency activities related to Terrestrial monitoring in Canada HMS Erebus, Parks Canada 6

7 Mutual Responsibilities under APVE Provide end-users with exploitable EO-based derived products Increase our collective efforts on the downstream segment of the EO Value chain Focus our attention on the generation of derived information that is useful, relevant, reliable, sustainable and cost-efficient for the end-users Ensure that derived products and services are accessible and assimmilable Ensure increased awareness on the use of EO satellite data and products Assume openness for - and stimulate a multi-sectoral and multi-level collaboration framework for improved usage satellite-based data and derived information products and services Think about APVE as an initial stage for the conceptualization of a thematic framework focused on the development and implementation of a service application platform requiring the involvement the of the public, private and academic sectors to serve public needs in the Arctic. 7
