Integrated geodynamics: Reconciling geophysics and geochemistry (iGEO)

Date du début: 1 mai 2013, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2018,

How are deep mantle processes related to the mapped geological record? How can we reconcile geochemical observations with geophysical inferences? These are first order unanswered questions despite our steady progress in imaging the Earth's internal structure and understanding the high temperature and pressure properties of minerals. To make a breakthrough, we have to understand solid-state convect ...

New proxies to quantify continental climate development during the Pliocene (PLIOPROX)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2012, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,

Atmospheric CO2 concentrations have risen rapidly since pre-industrial times and our current climate is not yet in equilibrium with this; it will change. To obtain insight in the type and magnitude of this change and to validate climate models used to project these changes, we need to look back at past climates. The most recent time in Earth history with CO2 levels that were similar to today is th ...

Subduction Initiation reconstructed from Neotethyan Kinematics (SINK): An iterative geological and numerical study of the driving forces behind plate tectonics (SINK)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 31 août 2017,

"The concept of Plate Tectonics, as fundamentally unifying to Earth Sciences as Darwin’s Evolution Theory is to Life Sciences, mathematically describes the complex evolution of Earth’s outer shell in terms of lithosphere plates and their interactions. There is no widely accepted dynamic mechanism, however, that explains why plate tectonics developed and continues. Subduction of oceanic lithosphere ...

"Phosphorus dynamics in low-oxygen marine systems: quantifying the nutrient-climate connection in Earth’s past, present and future" (PHOXY)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,

"Phosphorus (P) is a key and often limiting nutrient for phytoplankton in the ocean. A strong positive feedback exists between marine P availability, primary production and ocean anoxia: increased production leads to ocean anoxia, which, in turn, decreases the burial efficiency of P in sediments and therefore increases the availability of P and production in the ocean. This feedback likely plays a ...

Advanced Model Development and Validation for Improved Analysis of Costs and Impacts of Mitigation Policies (ADVANCE)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,

Integrated assessment and energy-economy models have become central tools for informing long-term global and regional climate mitigation strategies. There is a large demand for improved representations of complex system interactions and thorough validation of model behaviour in order to increase user confidence in climate policy assessments. ADVANCE aims to respond to this demand by facilitating t ...

From Protist to Proxy: Dinoflagellates as signal carriers for climate and carbon cycling during past and present extreme climate transitions (DINOPRO)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2010, Date de fin: 31 août 2016,

"I propose to develop and apply a novel method for the integrated reconstruction of past changes in carbon cycling and climate change. This method will be based on combining a well-established sensitive paleoclimate proxy with a recent discovery: the stable carbon isotopic composition (δ13C) of marine dinoflagellates (algae) and their organic fossils (dinocysts) reflects seawater carbonate chemist ...

African Rural-City Connections (RURBANAFRICA)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mars 2016,

The overall objective of the African Rural-City Connections (RurbanAfrica) project is to explore the connections between rural transformations, mobility, and urbanization processes and analyze how these contribute to an understanding of the scale, nature and location of poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. The RurbanAfrica project will advance the research agenda on rural-city connections in sub-Saharan ...

Policy-oriented marine Environmental Research in the Southern EUropean Seas (PERSEUS)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,

The overall scientific objectives of PERSEUS are to identify the interacting patterns of natural and human-derived pressures on the Mediterranean and Black Seas, assess their impact on marine ecosystems and, using the objectives and principles of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive as a vehicle, to design an effective and innovative research governance framework based on sound scientific knowl ...

Tracing Microbes using Phosphate in Fe-oxide Environments (TMUPIFE)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,

Acid drainage from unused mines (AMD) is a global problem. In these environments understanding the role of microbes is critical to predict its remediation as well as creation, but is also important due to its recent use as an analogue for the surface of Mars. Measuring microbial activity using isotopic signatures is a well-established idea used for AMD production, however, is typically only applic ...

European Plate Observing System (EPOS)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2010, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2014,

To understand the complex Earth System requires an integrated observational strategy and infrastructure to record key diagnostic features of its dynamics. Accordingly, this infrastructure must include geographically distributed and multidisciplinary monitoring instruments and observations. The European Plate Observing System (EPOS) will meet this challenge. The proposed RI (EPOS) will create a sin ...

"Now and in the foreseeable future, action on climate mitigation and adaptation doesn’t seem to be sufficient to manage greenhouse gases and their impact at the scale required to achieve stringent objectives such as those compatible with the 2°C target. This project aims at carrying out a rigorous assessment of what a stringent climate policy entails, and what is needed to overcome major impedimen ...

"Climate policy needs to aim at ambitious long-term climate stabilization. This will require managing the transition from carbon intensive to low carbon economies within this century. Research on mitigation pathways to a low carbon society and the associated mitigation costs is indispensable for informing policy makers. The project AMPERE is aiming for a broad exploration of mitigation pathways an ...

Towards a dynamic institutional theory of entrepreneurship: How national institutions shape the triggers, timing, and types of entrepreneurial processes in innovation-intensive industries (INSTITUTIONS&E.SHIP)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2010, Date de fin: 31 août 2012,

It is a stylized fact that prospective entrepreneurs differ in how they proceed to found new firms. Interestingly, though, the literature on process-oriented entrepreneurship does not provide a theory on how national institutions influence the behaviour of prospective entrepreneurs. The proposed project seeks to close this gap. The analytical framework is derived from the literature on national in ...
