The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) was launched in 2002, in response to calls for international collaboration in exploiting the growing potential of Earth observations to support decision-making. GEO is responsible for coordinating international efforts to build a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) that will enable the sharing of information between countries and communities.
In 2007, Tudor Rose worked with GEO to produce The Full Picture, a publication detailing early achievements in these collaborative efforts. This fully illustrated, 280-page book brings together the views and experiences of experts from across the world, who are working towards a framework for sharing Earth observation data for the benefit of all. It provides a full picture of progress in the field to date, highlighting good practices from the perspective of a wide variety of societies and disciplines, and suggesting future actions to ensure the success of GEOSS.
The Full Picture is a Tudor Rose publication, issued under GEO copyright. It is available for sale in a soft-cover edition.
