EPOS Implementation Phase (EPOS IP)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2015, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2019,
The nations of Europe are distributed around some of the most complex and dynamic geological systems on the planet and understanding these is essential to the security of livelihoods and economic power of Europeans. Many of the solutions to the grand challenges in the geosciences have been led by European scientists – the understanding of stratigraphy (the timing and distribution of layers of sedi ...

Harmonized approach to stress tests for critical infrastructures against natural hazards (STREST)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2016,
Critical Infrastructures (CIs) provide essential goods and services for modern society; they are highly integrated and have growing mutual dependencies. Recent natural events have shown that cascading failures of CIs have the potential for multi-infrastructure collapse and widespread societal and economic consequences.Moving toward a safer and more resilient society requires improved and standardi ...

New Directions in Seismic Hazard assessment through Focused Earth Observation in the Marmara Supersite (MARSITE)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2016,
The recent devastating earthquakes and associated tsunamis in Japan, Indonesia, and Haiti, which killed more than half a million people, highlighted how mankind is still far away from a satisfactory level of seismic risk mitigation. Among the regions around the Mediterranean Sea for which earthquakes represent a major threat to their social and economic development, the area around the Marmara Se ...

Modelling crisis management for improved action and preparedness (CRISMA)
Date du début: 1 mars 2012, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,
"The CRISMA project shall develop a simulation-based decision support system (Integrated Crisis Management System - ICMS), for modelling crisis management, improved action and preparedness. The ICMS shall facilitate simulation and modelling of realistic crisis scenarios, possible response actions, and the impacts of crisis depending on both the external factors driving the crisis development and t ...

Creating and testing a method for controlling the air quality based on a new biotechnological tool. Use of a devitalized moss clone as passive contaminant sensor (MOSSCLONE)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mars 2015,
The European Council Directive 96/62/EC about ambient air quality assessment and management, requires to States the periodical availability of information about air quality within their territories. Nevertheless, the available methods are expensive, which prevents they can be used in a large scale. Thus, at present it is necessary to have inexpensive and robust tools for monitoring air quality acr ...

Strategies and tools for Real Time EArthquake RisK ReducTion (REAKT)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,
Earthquakes are a serious threat for many European countries, particularly those around the Mediterranean Sea. In many cities exposed to high earthquake hazard, a substantial proportion of the population still lives in buildings that do not meet modern earthquake-resistant standards. Preventive actions, such as retrofitting of structures, are essential, but they are not sufficient and cannot be a ...

New Multi-HAzard and MulTi-RIsK Assessment MethodS for Europe (MATRIX)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
Across Europe, people suffer losses not just from single hazards, but also from multiple events in combination. In both their occurrence and their consequences, different hazards are often causally related. Classes of interactions include triggered events, cascade effects, and rapid increases of vulnerability during successive hazards. Effective and efficient risk reduction, therefore, often needs ...

CLimate change and Urban Vulnerability in Africa (CLUVA)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2010, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2013,
The social and economic impact of natural disasters in emerging economies and developing countries is growing. Many African countries have fragile economies unable to absorb the shocks caused by natural disasters enhanced by the increasing vulnerability of rapidly expanding urban areas. Climate change is likely to rapidly exacerbate this situation. The overall objective of CLUVA is to develop meth ...

Geothermal Engineering Integrating Mitigation of Induced Seismicity in Reservoirs (GEISER)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,
The project contributes to the improvement of the concept of Enhanced Geothermal Systems by investigating the role of induced seismicity, which is twofold: (i) an instrument to image fluid pathways induced by hydraulic stimulation treatments, which has been done to some extent in previous projects; and (ii) an implication of such treatments to potential seismic hazards. The mitigation of induced s ...
