On 1. January 2015, the ESA Data User Element project GlobBiomass was started for a three year period. After the first two busy project phases, it was time to share and discuss our results and methodological progress in a 2nd  GlobBiomass User Workshop.
Until the end of the 2nd project phase in January 2017 the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document was updated and first results from the Global Biomass Mapping Approach was expected. The Global Mapping System was fitted and the Regional Reference Maps for 2010 and 2005 including Change Map were completed (a preview is available at https://globbiomass.org/products/regional-mapping).
Significant discussion points with users were the Validation Approach and the dissemination for the Global and Regional Mapping Products.
