  4. Context Approach Conclusions Motivations User Requirements The ESA KLAUS Project BG2.8 - EGU 2012, Vienna, Austria This work has been carried out in the framework of the ESA KLAUS Project. A core activity of the project is the demonstration of the usability of the KEO environment by end users, by the development of applications derived from user requirements. Besides requirements definition, users are involved in the applications validation Moreover, ESA wants to increase the use of satellite data in specific thematic areas: KDA1 Forest biomass estimation KDA2 Hydrogeological Risk KDA3 Fires and burned areas detection KDA4 Solar Irradiance monitoring
