Breakthrough Solutions for the Sustainable Exploration and Extraction of Deep Sea Mineral Resources (BLUE MINING)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2018,

Earth provides natural resources, such as fossil fuels and minerals, that are vital for Europe´s economy. As the global demand grows, especially for strategic metals, commodity prices rapidly rise and there is an identifiable risk of an increasing supply shortage of some metals, including those identified as critical to Europe's high technology sector. Hence a major element in any economy’s long-t ...

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 ...

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 ...

Euro-Argo Improvements for the GMES Marine Service (E-AIMS)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,

"Argo is an international array of 3000 profiling floats that measure temperature and salinity throughout the deep global oceans, down to 2,000 metres. It is the single most important global in-situ observing system for the GMES Marine Service. Argo provides critical observations of the ocean interior that are required to constrain, together with satellite observations, GMES Marine Service modelli ...

Benthic Iron Cycling in Oxygen Minimum Zones and Implications for Ocean Biogeochemistry (BICYCLE)

Date du début: 1 août 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2015,

Iron (Fe) supply is the limiting factor for primary productivity over vast areas of the modern ocean. In the classical view, river runoff and wind-blown terrestrially derived dust are considered the main sources of bio-available Fe to the ocean. Another, yet poorly constrained source is the reductive recycling of Fe from marine sediments in oxygen-depleted ocean regions, the so-called oxygen minim ...

Changes in carbon uptake and emissions by oceans in a changing climate (CARBOCHANGE)

Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2015,

CARBOCHANGE will provide the best possible process-based quantification of net ocean carbon uptake under changing climate conditions using past and present ocean carbon cycle changes for a better prediction of future ocean carbon uptake. We will improve the quantitative understanding of key biogeochemical and physical processes through a combination of observations and models. We will upscale new ...

Underwater gliders are intelligent and affordable platforms, useful for long-term, multi parameter marine observations. Because of their remotely controlled navigational capabilities and the high spatial and temporal resolution of their measurements in real-time, gliders have been identified to fill gaps existing in the existing ocean observing systems. Along with there rapidly growing importance ...

Intraspecific Diversity and Adaptability of Fucus vesiculosus at range limits (IDA)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2007, Date de fin: 9 mars 2012,

"Intraspecific genetic diversity is the ‘raw material’ that allows species to adjust to a changing world. For predictions of the effects of Global Change, it is crucial to know if low genetic diversity is a result of local adaptation (i.e. if a species has experienced strong selection), or if other processes are responsible. The Baltic Sea is an extreme marine environment and its extreme tempera ...
