The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI)
Moderated groups where specialists discuss questions in Space and Earth Observation. Each group is listed here when its moderation, terms and hosting are in place, with its scope and how to join.

Space and Earth Observation subject groups are moderated forums where remote-sensing scientists and space engineers discuss open questions in the space and Earth observation field, such as Earth observation sensors and spatial temporal evidence. Each group is listed once its moderation, terms and hosting are in place, with its scope and how to join. A group informs the platform's work and has no authority over its findings.

For subject groups, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on true-colour imagery, population density and night lights with true colour from NASA GIBS, framed on the Arctic; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

EO groups are organised around validation, space-segment resilience and disaster mapping, each pairing producers of products with the agencies that use them.

Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Community of practice | A group of people who share a concern or a craft and learn to do it better by interacting regularly; the term comes from Lave and Wenger's work on situated learning. |
| Chatham House Rule | A rule under which participants may use information received but may not reveal the identity or affiliation of speakers. |
| Space debris | Non-functional human-made objects in orbit, including dead satellites, rocket bodies and fragments. |
| Multispectral sensor | A sensor that records reflected light in several distinct wavelength bands. |
The bodies and documents this page is read against. Status and editions change; each link goes to the issuing body.
The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
