Webinar: Sustainability of Future Environmental Observation Networks

This webinar is hosted by MONOCLE and co-sponsored by GEO AquaWatch.

For this seminar, invited speakers/panellists will include MONOCLE Expert Advisory Board members Debbie Chapman (University College Cork and UN Environment GEMS/Water), Henrik Steen Andersen (European Environment Agency) and Steve Greb (GEO AquaWatch, University of Wisconsin-Madison) and MONOCLE contributors, Kathrin Poser (Water Insight, WP5 lead) and Oliver Clements (PML).

Abstract:

The third MONOCLE webinar in the series addresses sustainability of environmental monitoring networks, in particular hybrid services of in situ and satellite observation networks. How do we safeguard long-term measurement series while sensor technology continues to improve? How should data collection be funded to be sustainable? How should a multi-scale observation network feed into regional and global reporting strategies?

Join us for an overview on current water quality monitoring policy and challenges and a discussion on how MONOCLE research may contribute to reaching the European and global monitoring goals.
