Z_GIS joins project supporting European Commission´s Biodiversity Strategy

The European Union´s Horizon 2020 cooperation project ESMERALDA (“Enhancing ecosystem services mapping for policy and decision making”) started with a kick-off meeting at Kiel University. The results of the three-and-a-half-year joint project will be implemented in the European Commission´s Biodiversity Strategy 2020.
Focusing on WP3 mapping methodology, Z_GIS will contribute standardized (near real-time) environmental data distribution, but also data harmonization processes for standardized WebGIS ecosystem services mapping. Z_GIS links to the LTER Austria platforms in Austria and involves the Environment Agency Austria. More Information: http://www.esmeralda-project.eu/
