(EAMNet) and GEONETCast for and by
Developing Countries (DevCoCast).
SANSA Space Operations
The CSIR Satellite Application Centre now
forms part of the South African National
Space Agency (SANSA). SANSA Space
Operations processes large amounts of
data. It centralised Earth observation
services into a spatial portal that acquires,
processes and distributes remotely-sensed
data from Earth observation satellites. The
data are processed as remote-sensing
products and imagery and provide
valuable input for a broad range of
decision makers.
Chlorophyll Globally Integrated Network
(ChloroGIN)
This network aims to broadly disseminate
accessible marine Earth observation
products, and empower users through
training. CSIR researchers are closely
involved with implementing these aims for
Africa through EU-funded projects such
African Monitoring of the Environment for
Sustainable Development (AMESD)
This is a continent-wide, pan-African
project for the development of geoinformation
systems to improve decisionmaking
processes in the fi elds of
environmental resource and environmental
risk management in Africa.
Global Water Quality Information
System The Global Water Quality
Information System seeks to develop a
fully operational, spatially-comprehensive
water quality information system in inland
and coastal waters. Contributing national
research initiatives are the CSIR-funded
Safe Water Earth Observation System
(SWEOS) project, developing this
capability for local pilot ecosystems; and
aligned DST-funded initiatives to build
operational capability.
