This book reviews trends and changes in the exploitation of large amount of earth observation data, which happens in a collaborative, cross-disciplinary, and open way, from science to applications, innovation and education. Open science and innovation refers to the systematic changes in doing research, innovation and applications driven by the rapid advances in digital technologies combined with a growing demand to do science for society and in society. Teams of researchers around the world can now easily access a wide range of open data across disciplines and remotely process them on the cloud, combining with own data to generate knowledge, develop information products for societal applications, and tackle complex integrative problems that could not be addressed a few years ago. The earth observation community is now facing the challenge of responding to this new paradigm in order to make the most of the large volume of complex and diverse data delivered by the new generation of EO missions. The book discusses how data intensive science is enabled, introduces the social observatory and presents open science and innovation use cases.
