CRESS
The purpose of CRESS is to analyze and facilitate the use of commercial terrestrial remote sensing products by the earth science community, which could benefit from the advent of new, very high resolution commercial data products. The goal of CRESS is to encourage the integration of commercial data in earth system science by (A) demonstrating the utility of such data through validation activities; (B) providing contacts to vendors and validation sites around the world; and (C) navigating the legal and policy issues of access and use of such data.
