15 515 Until 1989, most applications of and planned for present and future earth observations systems have been in the more or less common areas of agriculture, energy and mineral exploration, engineering, forestry, geology, hydrology, land use management, meteorology, oceanography and related fields. The use of earth observations for environmental applications has been largely on site specific problems within these disciplinary areas. However, the recent thrust of NASA's "Mission to Planet Earth" concept in support of developing their Earth Observation System (EOS), the remarkable media bandwagon, public sensitivity,and political fallout of the satellite demonstrated "ozone hole" and global warming and clean air debates, the development of the U.S. interagency Committee on Earth Sciences (CES) Global Change Research Plan, and the related growth of similar inter-national, cooperating polar-orbiting platform and global research pro- grams, all lead to the general conclusion that the proposed inter-national earth observations systems will become the fundamental global observation technology for rapidly expanding major resource development, global change understanding and environmental applications during the period 1990 - 2010 and beyond (Henderson, 1990) The growth potential for the use of earth observations for environs- mental applications will occur in three main areas as shown in Figure 11. They are (Henderson, op. cit.): 1. Basic and Applied Global Change Studies; 3. Government and Private Sector Environmental Management Applications. A critical factor in evaluating the social value in expending the large sums of public money needed to support the various EOS satellite systems and the EOSDIS- type ground data management and information systems in the U.S. and internationally will be to determine what roles will be played by the following: 1. Non-commercial government use of earth observations data in the "public good" for global change studies, monitoring and environs- mental management; 2. Private sector use of earth observations data for resource development, global change studies, monitoring and environmental management; and 3. The extent to which government and private industry efforts above can be linked together in the best interests of all in cooperative programs rather than adversarial environmental confrontation. 2. Government Policy and Regulatory Monitoring; and
