Advisory Board
EO4DIVERSITY aims to reinforce the impact of the project outputs through its partner memberships of important biodiversity networks (e.g., the Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEOBON), Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS), NASA Surface Biology and Geology (SBG), European Environmental Agency-European Union (EEA), Copernicus, national and member state policy groups, etc.) as well as partnership development with eminent members of European stakeholders and an international Advisory Board (AB) comprising biodiversity experts and Early Adopters.
Andrew González, GEOBON
Gary Geller, NASA
Gary Geller has an M.S. in Botany and a PhD in biology; both involved modelling the physical architecture of plants and assessing the impact on temperature, water loss, and carbon update. Based at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory he has worked with the NASA Biological Diversity and Ecological Forecasting Programs for two decades, for GEO BON since its inception, and was seconded by NASA to the GEO Secretariat in Geneva as the expert in biodiversity for two years.
