Abstract :
A new geospatial data sharing/overlay system, CEReS Gaia, has developed. The purpose of the system development is to promote land surface environmental studies. Since existing databases do not meet the requirements by academic users who wish easy data analysis by using his/her own data with existing other data, the new geospatial data sharing system has developed. The system has the following features; (a) internationally unlimited expansion of servers, (b) multi-language capability (currently, only English), (c) free access without user registration, (d) data upload/download by registered users, (e) capability to overlay user´s data on other registered data, (f) option of unlimited or selective data distribution. The system operation has started in August 2012.
