GEIA Updates: Overview, 2020 Web Conference, Upcoming Events
GEIA Overview
May 2021
GEIA, a major crosscutting activity of IGAC https://igacproject.org, is an international community effort dedicated to emissions understanding, information exchange, and competence building. Since it was created in 1990 under the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), GEIA has been providing necessary, quality assured emission information for comprehensive global assessments of past, present and future atmospheric chemistry, air quality and climate change. GEIA’s ongoing initiatives advance understanding, distribution and use of timely information to the research, assessment and policy communities. GEIA also provides information on emissions on regional and megacity scales, assesses land-water-air exchange processes, and develops platforms for information sharing and data evaluation. The NASA-sponsored GEIA Web Site works with the international GEIA Scientific Steering Committee to coordinate GEIA planning efforts, develop and implement outreach strategies, and make effective distribution of datasets and related information possible. GEIA's major efforts are summarized here.
