It was developed in the context of International Space Year 1992. The objective of this project is to demonstrate to a large number of people in the world, through hands-on experience, that satellite data and other geographic information can be of vital importance in monitoring the global environment. GEOSCOPE will illustrate the profound changes occurring on the global and regional scales through the story-like exercises called scenarios. In addition to the more than 100 data sets, several scenarios covering a whole range of interesting scientific topics will be available to the users. Numerous agencies have contributed data for inclusion in GEOSCOPE, particularly the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Other contributors include SAFISY (Space Agency Forum on International Space Year), United Nations Environment Programme, World Resources Institute, NASDA, SPOT IMAGE, EROS Data Center and DLR. Their support has made this ambitious project a reality. Under the auspices of SAFISY, over 40 space agencies and international organizations aim at promoting a new era of space cooperation globally, and at enhancing our knowledge of Planet Earth. GEOSCOPE is an example of this collaboration.
