The stewardship essay I have been working on makes a claim that feels right from operational experience but needs to survive scrutiny from people who know this domain from the inside: that federation is necessary but not sufficient for governing systems that require long-term calibration integrity.
Three field notes on what makes earth observation data trustworthy and what happens when it isn’t This series addresses that question across three timescales and three operational contexts. Each piece stands alone. Together they make a single argument: that the value of any observation system, from a handheld GPS to a continental satellite network, depends entirely on the integrity of its anchor points, and that anchor point integrity is a governance problem as much as a technical one.
Sometimes the measurement is correct.
The problem is that the world it was calibrated against no longer exists.
