■SB ADVANCED SATELLITE EARTH OBSERVATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT DURING 1990-2010 Frederick B. Henderson III, Ph.D, The Geosat Committee, Inc. 601 Elm St. 438C Norman, Oklahoma 73019 (405) 325-3329 ISPRS, Victoria B.C. September 1990 ABSTRACT Man's growing population needs for resources and their impact on the environment and Global Change will be major international issues for the 1990's. Proposed advanced Polar Orbiting Platforms such as NASA, Earth Observing System (EOS) and similar systems of ESA and Japan coupled with other international systems will conduct extensive satellite earth observations for resource development and global change studies for better environ- mental management. These programs will produce tremendous volumes of electro-optical, microwave and radar data creating a massive digital database for basic scientific and applied research for geology, agriculture, oceanography, meteo- rology, and environmental sciences. Database management and internal data access are major issues under current review by ESA, NASA,, NASDA and others. U.S. government research is being coordinated by the new interagency Committee on Earth Sciences (CES). Resource industries who contribute to man's environ- mental impact have a major stake in the CES research plan. The international industrial based Geosat Committee is working with the CES to establish industry govern- ment- 501 academia linkages with industry participation in these broad international environmental studies from space. INTRODUCTION During the last decade, satellite earth observations coupled with many other global geophysical observa- tions have raised serious concern about man's growing impact on the earth's environment. While this concern is not historically new, modern satellite technology is opening new ways of observing and measuring the earth's environment on an ongoing global basis. What is critically important for this new technology is to assure that it is used wisely to understand natural and man-made environmental changes. Global population growth and demands for improved living standards place great pressures on more resource development and consequent environ mental fallout. Therefore, it is vital that the knowledge derived from earth observations and global change studies be prudently applied in international decisions as to which of man's impacts can be corrected and which must be accepted as the price of mankind's continued existence. INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES During the next two decades, satellite earth observations systems will be deployed by several nations and used to study, monitor, and deal with many international environ- mental issues. Chief among these is studying and understanding changes in the earth's environment from a global perspective as a basis to understand and influence, where prudent, man's impact on the iff!
