Enhancing prediction of tropical Atlantic climate and its impacts (PREFACE)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,

Tropical Atlantic climate recently experienced pronounced shifts of great socio-economic importance. The oceanic changes were largest in the eastern boundary upwelling systems. African countries bordering the Atlantic strongly depend upon their ocean - societal development, fisheries, and tourism. They were strongly affected by these climatic changes and will face important adaptation challenges a ...

How long have human activities been affecting the climate system? (EARLYHUMANIMPACT)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,

Human activities are altering the global climate system at rates faster than ever recorded in geologic time. Ample observational evidence exists for anthropogenic climate change including measured increased in atmospheric CO2, temperature and sea level rise. Biomass burning causes CO2 emissions of ~50% of those from fossil-fuel combustion and so are highly likely to influence future climate change ...

Network-based Expert-Stakeholder Framework for Sustainable Remediation (NEXSUS)

Date du début: 10 oct. 2014, Date de fin: 8 févr. 2016,

The management of contaminated land has moved through different stages over the last few decades, each stage being characterized by a specific approach. The most recent stage is that of sustainable remediation, whereby decisions on the management of contaminated sites have to be sustainable across all the three pillars of sustainable development (environmental, economic and social). In particular, ...

Managing Risks of Nanoparticles (MARINA)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2015,

While there are standard procedures for product life cycle analysis, exposure, hazard, and risk assessment for traditional chemicals, is not yet clear how these procedures need to be modified to address all the novel properties of nanomaterials. There is a need to develop specific reference methods for all the main steps in managing the potential risk of ENM. The aim of MARINA is to develop such ...

The assessment of risks to human health from chemicals is of major concern for policy and industry and ultimately benefits all citizens. In this process, exposure assessment is generally considered to be the weakest point, as currently available tools show major flaws:(a) lack of integrated approach for assessment of combined stressors (i.e. a number of potential pollutants);(b) widespread use of ...

RISK ASSESSMENT OF ENGINEERED NANOPARTICLES (ENPRA)

Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2012,

Engineered Nanoparticles (ENP) are increasingly produced for use in a wide range of industrial and consumer products. Yet it is known that exposure to some types of particles can cause severe health effects. Therefore it is essential to ascertain whether exposure to ENP can lead to possible health risks for workers and consumers. We have formed a consortium of well-known scientists from European U ...
