BIG4 - Biosystematics, Informatics and Genetics of the big 4 insect groups: training tomorrow's researchers and entrepreneurs (BIG4)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2015, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,
BIG4 is a global network to amalgamate the cutting edge methods of genomics, phylogenetics, informatics, taxonomy, semantic biodiversity publishing and citizen science, into highly competitive cross-disciplinary training programme for 15 ESRs with a stronghold in biosystematics. These 15 future leaders will extend the exploration of the four biggest groups of living organisms in a more forward loo ...

Synthesis of systematic resources (SYNTHESYS3)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2017,
SYNTHESYS3 will create an accessible, integrated European resource for researchers in the natural sciences in Europe and globally. Building on the success of the previous SYNTHESYS IA, the NA will focus on improving collections management of new physical and virtual collections. By focusing the JRA on extracting and enhancing data from digitised collections, SYNTHESYS3 will increase the accessibil ...

EU BON: Building the European Biodiversity Observation Network (EU BON)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2017,
Sustainable governance of our biological resources requires reliable scientific knowledge that meets the needs of society. Current biodiversity observation systems and environmental datasets are unbalanced in coverage and not integrated, limiting integrative analyses and implementation of environmental policies.EU BON presents an innovative approach towards integration of biodiversity information ...

Looking to the past to predict the future: the evolution of biodiversity through climate change and the rise of human society (Palaeogenetics)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2013, Date de fin: 29 nov. 2016,
Biodiversity loss and climate change are the most critical environmental threats today. In order to predict future changes and develop conservation strategies, we must understand the evolutionary and ecological processes underlying species response to global change. This project will improve our predictions of the future by looking to the past, using ancient DNA technology to track genetic chang ...

Metal Transport in the Environment (MetTrans)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2016,
Understanding the processes that control the transport of metals in the environment is essential for a wide range of fields, including environmental protection and remediation, mineral resources, climate change. Through recent analytical developments, it is possible, using natural variations in metal isotopes, to identify and quantify how metal concentrations in natural waters are controlled by in ...

The Earth in Transition: from Earliest Crust to Earliest Preserved Rocks (HADEAN)
Date du début: 15 août 2011, Date de fin: 14 août 2014,
"Current knowledge of the nature and origin of the earliest crust on Earth comes largely from studies of the mineral zircon. The oldest zircon crystals from Jack Hills in Australia provide a wealth of information and represent a time capsule of what the Earth was like from 4.4 to 4.0 Ga during the Hadean. These zircons are detrital grains preserved in much younger rocks, and no known rocks of this ...

Synthesis of Systematic Resources (SYNTHESYS)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2013,
SYNTHESYS IA will aid in the evolution of a European resource through the creation an accessible, integrated infrastructure for researchers in the natural sciences in Europe and globally. By focusing the JRA on DNA extraction, SYNTHESYS IA will increase the opportunities for Users to exploit a largely untapped facet of the 337 million strong collections. Users will be able to play an active role ...

Evaluating Aerobic Microbial Methane Cycling under Archaean-Proterozoic Environmental Conditions (EMCAPE)
Date du début: 1 août 2011, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2013,
"Earth’s surficial chemistry evolved in close association with life, exemplified by the incorporation of trace metals into the active sites of many enzymes involved in major biogeochemical processes and as structural components of proteins. Consequently, trace metal bioavailability has likely exerted a major influence upon rates of specific microbial processes throughout Earth history. Changes in ...
