Geoland I was carried out in the context of GMES, a joint initiative of European Commission (EC) and European Space Agency (ESA), which aims to build up a European capacity for Global Monitoring of Environment and Security.

The ambition of the geoland consortium was to develop a range of reliable and cost efficient European geo-information services, supporting the implementation of European directives and their national implementation, as well as European and International policies.

Within the geoland consortium RSS was responsible for the "Assessment on the environmental status - Africa". This task focused on the land cover assessment and monitoring. The work was done in close cooperation with the Joint Research Centre in Ispra. RSS investigated multi-spectral change detection methods to identify suitable change detection methods for moderate and coarse spatial-resolution data, particularly MERIS, MODIS and SPOT VEGETATION.
