Projects

The Black Sea Catchment is internationally known as one of ecologically unsustainable development and inadequate resource management, which has led to severe environmental, social and economic problems. The EnviroGRIDS @ Black Sea Catchment project addresses these issues by bringing several emerging information technologies that are revolutionizing the way we are able to observe our planet. The Group on Earth Observation (GEO) is building a data-driven view. EnviroGRIDS aims at building the capacity of scientists to assemble such a system in the Black Sea Catchment, the capacity of decision-makers to use it, and the capacity of the general public to understand the important environmental, social and economic issues at stake. IEEE is a member of the EnviroGrid advisory committee. To read more on EnviroGrid go to http://www.envirogrids.net/.
