Research papers presented at the first SAEON Summit in 2006, through the hard work of Dr Graham Baker (Editor) and the authors, were collated and published in a dedicated issue of the South African Journal of Science.

The publication was distributed at the Intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations’ Ministerial Summit  to a national and international audience consisting of leading scientists and decision-makers in the field of environmental and observation science, and elicited favourable comments. 

Free copies are presently being distributed to SAEON stakeholders, partners and associates. Copies can obtained from Eva Mudau on eva@saeon.ac.za or Tel 012 – 392 9383 while stocks last.
