The aim of Work Package 2, Baltic Earth Observation and Geodata Repository & Atlas of Fragmented Transformations, is to prepare the advanced and new data products of Work Package 1 Spatio-temporal Patterns of Land Cover and Land Use in such a way that they are easily accessible in terms of technology and content to scientists from less quantitative or IT-related disciplines, and to operationalize this preparation and provision. With the same goal in mind, further sources of geodata are to be systematically made available in order to provide a comprehensive database with data sources from a wide variety of origins and topics, harmonized in the IFZO Geoportal(formerly Baltic Earth Observation and Geodata Repository). Another focus here is on the goal of integrating historical maps in order to extend the period covered by satellite data.
