In evidence:

GEO-GSNL and the CEOS have withdrawn support to the Enceladus Supersite

The Enceladus Supersite was established in 2016. It was initially coordinated by ITZAK and more recently by OASP, Greece. In the following periodic evaluations the Coordinators and the community did not demonstrate the need for large the satellite data quotas that the CEOS Space Agencies had allocated to support the Supersite activities.  Indeed, no images were requested and used to generate scientific results for several years.

Eventually, in October 2024, the CEOS Working Group on Disasters decided to discontinue support to the Enceladus supersite, given the clear lack of any activity making use of the satellite imagery made available by the CEOS agencies. Withdrawal of CEOS support automatically implies the  removal of the Enceladus Supersite from the GEO-GSNL Supersite network.

Welcome to the Geohazard Supersites and Natural Laboratories GEO initiative

The GEO Geohazard Supersites and Natural Laboratory initiative (GSNL) is a voluntary international partnership aiming to improve, through an Open Science approach, geophysical scientific research and geohazard assessment in support of Disaster Risk Reduction.

GEO-GSNL is compliant with the new  GEO Strategic Plan, and with the role of science envisioned in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.
