Life in a cold climate: the adaptation of cereals to new environments and the establishment of agriculture in Europe (ADAPT)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2019,
"This project explores the concept of agricultural spread as analogous to enforced climate change and asks how cereals adapted to new environments when agriculture was introduced into Europe. Archaeologists have long recognized that the ecological pressures placed on crops would have had an impact on the spread and subsequent development of agriculture, but previously there has been no means of di ...

Reinforced Vegetation Numerical Evaluation of Slopes (REVENUES)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
Vegetation acts as a reinforcement for slopes due to the penetration of roots into the ground. Roots penetration is a time dependent phenomenon that is strongly connected to the hydrogeological condition of the slope and that interacts with soil properties. Roots reinforcement of soil is well documented and numerous formulae exist in literature. The reinforcement action is provided by roots penetr ...

Understanding and predicting multispecies assemblages and interactions in space and time (MATES)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 mars 2016,
Understanding and modelling biotic interactions and their dynamics are prerequisite for predicting community and biodiversity response to climate change and, thus, for designing strategies and policies to halt the loss of biodiversity and associated ecosystem services. We propose to investigate uncertainties in biodiversity response to climate change by improving and integrating existing approache ...

Building Resilience Amongst Communities in Europe (EMBRACE)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
In an interdisciplinary, socially inclusive and collaborative context, emBRACE aims to improve the framing of resilience in the context of disasters in Europe. It will develop a conceptual and methodological approach to clarify how the resilience capacity of a society confronted with natural hazards and disasters can be characterized, defined and measured. On the basis of a systematic evaluation o ...

Knowledge-based approach to develop a cULTUre of Risk prevention (KULTURisk)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
The extreme consequences of recent catastrophic events have highlighted that risk prevention still needs to be improved to reduce human losses and economic damages. The KULTURisk project aims at developing a culture of risk prevention by means of a comprehensive demonstration of the benefits of prevention measures. The development of a culture of risk prevention requires the improvement of our: a) ...

IMproving Preparedness and RIsk maNagemenT for flash floods and debriS flow events (IMPRINTS)
Date du début: 15 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 14 nov. 2012,
"The aim of IMPRINTS is to contribute to reduce loss of life and economic damage through the improvement of the preparedness and the operational risk management for Flash Flood and Debris Flow [FF/DF] generating events, as well as to contribute to sustainable development through reducing damages to the environment. To achieve this ultimate objective the project is oriented to produce methods and t ...

Social Capacity Building for Natural Hazards: Toward More Resilient Societies (CapHaz-Net)
Date du début: 1 juin 2009, Date de fin: 31 mai 2012,
The main objectives of CapHaz-Net are to identify and assess existing practices and policies for social capacity building in the field of natural hazards and to elaborate strategies and recommendations for activities to enhance the resilience of European societies to the impacts of natural hazards. This will be achieved by bringing together different scientific disciplines and by enhancing and fos ...

Advancing dynamic vegetation modeling for mountain systems vulnerable to climate and land-use change (MTVEGMOD)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2009, Date de fin: 30 juin 2011,
"Significant uncertainties on the response of ecosystems to climate change remain to be addressed to advance the progress of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. We propose to investigate several of these uncertainties by improving regional-scale dynamic vegetation modeling for montane systems vulnerable to climate and land-use change. Our approach will modify a state-of-the-art dynamic ...
