Integration of European Simulation Chambers for Investigating Atmospheric Processes – Towards 2020 and beyond (EUROCHAMP-2020)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2016, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2020,
Atmospheric simulation chambers are the most advanced tools for elucidating processes that occur in the atmosphere. They lay the foundations for air quality and climate models and also aid interpretation of field measurements. EUROCHAMP-2020 will further integrate the most advanced European atmospheric simulation chambers into a world-class infrastructure for research and innovation. A co-ordinate ...

Air pollution treatment in European urban environments by means of photocatalytic textiles (LIFE PHOTOCITYTEX)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2014, Date de fin: 30 juin 2017,
Background
Air pollution from traffic is a growing problem, especially in urban areas. In recent years the use of titanium dioxide (TiO2) based photocatalytic self-cleaning and de-polluting materials has been considered to remove these pollutants. TiO2 is now commercially available and used in construction material or paints for environmental purposes. Fu ...

CAtastrophic Shifts in drylands: how CAn we prevent ecosystem DEgradation? (CASCADE)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 30 juin 2017,
The aim of CASCADE is to obtain a better understanding of sudden ecosystem shifts that may lead to major losses in biodiversity and ecosystem services, and to define measures that can be used to prevent such shifts. The focus of CASCADE is explicitly on drylands as being one of the most fragile and threatened ecosystems in Europe. CASCADE will investigate the historical evolution of dryland ecosys ...

Fate and Impact of Atmospheric Pollutants (AMIS)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2016,
"The proposed project aims at establishing a long-lasting collaboration and creates a network of European and Chinese research centres of excellence in the area of air quality and climate change studies. This aim will be achieved by undertaking joint research activities via collaboration facilitated by individual mobility of researchers between Europe and China. Accordingly, this network will cont ...

Integrated non-CO2 Greenhouse gas Observing System (INGOS)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
InGOS will support and integrate the observing capacity of Europe for non-CO2 greenhouse gases (NCGHG: CH4, N2O, SF6, H2 and halocarbons). The emissions of these gases are very uncertain and it is unknown how future climate change will feedback into the land use coupled emissions of CH4 and N2O. The NCGHG atmospheric abundances will increase further in the future and the emissions of these gases a ...

ICOS improved sensors, network and interoperability for GMES (ICOS-INWIRE)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
The fundamental objective of the ICOS-INWIRE project is to enhance the capabilities of the ICOS infrastructure and fill in critical gaps for monitoring fluxes and concentrations of greenhouse gases, in order to meet the needs of operational users in the GMES program. It will achieve this by: Developing and testing autonomous sensors systems for greenhouse gas fluxes and concentration, enhancing th ...

Integration of European Simulation Chambers for Investigating Atmospheric Processes - Part 2 (EUROCHAMP-2)
Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
"The fundamental objective of the project is the further integration of existing European research facilities to a grid of reaction chambers in a continuation of the EUROCHAMP project. These facilities were created to study the impact of atmospheric processes e.g. on regional photochemistry, global change, as well as cultural heritage and human health effects under as realistic conditions as possi ...

Forest fires under climate, social and economic changes in Europe, the Mediterranean and other fire-affected areas of the world (FUME)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
Fire regimes result from interactions between climate, land-use and land-cover (LULC), and socioeconomic factors, among other. These changed during the last decades, particularly around the Mediterranean. Our understanding of how they affected fire regime in the past is limited. During this century temperatures, drought and heat waves will very likely increase, and rainfall decrease. These and fur ...

Greenhouse gas management in European land use systems (GHG Europe)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2013,
The GHG-Europe project aims to improve our understanding and capacity for predicting the European terrestrial carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) budget by applying a systematic, comprehensive and integrative approach. GHG-Europe quantifies the annual to decadal variability of the carbon and GHG budgets of terrestrial ecosystems in EU27 plus Switzerland and in six data-rich European regions via data-m ...
