Space Data Management System / Data Cube
Removing obstacles to country uptake of satellite data through cloud computing, storage & novel computing & database technology
Countries can focus on data applicationsand not handlingPilot projects underway –
notably the Kenya Cube in support of their NFMS. Colombia Cube will follow.New GFOI Space Data Portal for all countries is being developed.Slide15
Capacity Building
In coordination with others including UNREDD, FAO and the World Bank
Major effort through SilvaCarbon, other activities with Australia and NorwayTailored to meet country needs and requestsAims to build up networks of experts in countries
