· The European Space Agency (ESA), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have combined their resources, technical knowledge,
and expertise to produce this Earth Observing Dashboard, which strengthens our understanding of
global environmental changes and other societal challenges impacting our planet.”
Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS)
· Hosted by Group on Earth Observations (GEO)
· Key site for environmental data: “...an online map-based user interface which allows users to
discover and access Earth observation data and resources from different providers from all over
the world.”
UN Environment Programme (UNEP)
Global Resource Information Database (GRID)
World Environment Situation Room

· “...a web-based data visualization tool that will allow everyone to quickly and easily create rich
interactive visualizations with their own data. You can then share your interactive visualizations
with others by embedding them in websites, blogs or sharing via Facebook or Twitter. We're focused
on building the most exciting and engaging destination for statisticians, and computer scientists in
the world.”
Environmental Data Initiative (EDI)
Measuring Progress
· "...an interactive online tool suggesting green economy indicators for policy-making."
· Click on "Articles by topic," which leads to an array of environmental and other topics.

· "...where graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and science professionals come together
to write easy-to-read, compelling summaries of recent, cutting-edge research papers in
environmental science to make them accessible to non-experts. We want to share our passion
for research with all non-scientists who are interested to learn more about the environment:
This ranges in scale from identifying science problems and solutions in cities to explaining the
complex environmental challenges facing our planet as a whole.”

This page covers the topic of environmental indicators; note that each of these words—both environmental and
indicators—have multiple synonyms, near-synonyms, & semantic overlaps with other terms. These include:
· Environmental: ecological, sustainability, sustainable development
· Indicators: analysis, footprint, impact reporting, indices & monitoring
Consequently, this page covers a wide range of related topics under may labels, ranging from
“ecological assessment” to “sustainable development monitoring.”
