Subject: new WDC for Land Cover Data

On behalf of the ICSU Panel on World Data Centers, I am pleased to announce the
establishment of the WDC for Land Cover Data in Sioux Falls, USA.  The center,
which is directed by Nick Van Driel, offers many scientifically valuable land
cover data products, particularly those created from remote sensing instruments.
Such data will benefit the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme and other
environmental science programs.  Please join me in welcoming the new center.

Regards,  Anne
