Global Glacier Mass Continuity (ICEMASS)
Date du début: 1 mars 2013, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2019,
For the first time in history satellite data and respective archive holdings are now sufficient in terms of their spatial and temporal resolution, and their accuracy, to measure volume changes, velocities and changes in these velocities over time for glaciers and ice caps other than ice sheets on a global scale.The ICEMASS project will derive and analyse glacier thickness changes using satellite l ...

Lusi: a unique natural laboratory for multidisciplinary studies of focussed fluid flow in sedimentary basins (LUSI LAB)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,
The 29th of May 2006 several gas and mud eruption sites suddenly appeared along a fault in the NE of Java, Indonesia. Within weeks several villages were submerged by boiling mud. The most prominent eruption site was named Lusi. To date Lusi is still active and has forced 50.000 people to be evacuated and an area of more than 7 km2 is covered by mud. The social impact of the eruption and its specta ...

The medieval plagues: ecology, transmission modalities and routes of the infections (MEDPLAG)
Date du début: 1 juin 2013, Date de fin: 31 mai 2018,
The history of late medieval and early modern Europe was deeply affected by epidemics of plague that repeatedly broke out until 1750 AD and caused devastation and death with severe social, political and economic consequences. For decades, historians and scientists have been interested in the ancient pestilences and disputed their origin and epidemiology. One century ago, Yersinia pestis was identi ...

Physics of the Solar Chromosphere (CHROMPHYS)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
"CHROMPHYS aims at a breakthrough in our understanding of the solar chromosphere by combining the development of sophisticated radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulations with observations from the upcoming NASA SMEX mission Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS).The enigmatic chromosphere is the transition between the solar surface and the eruptive outer solar atmosphere. The chromosphere ha ...

BEYOND PLATE TECTONICS (BPT)
Date du début: 1 mai 2011, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2016,
Plate tectonics characterises the complex and dynamic evolution of the outer shell of the Earth in terms of rigid plates. These tectonic plates overlie and interact with the Earth's mantle, which is slowly convecting owing to energy released by the decay of radioactive nuclides in the Earth's interior. Even though links between mantle convection and plate tectonics are becoming more evident, notab ...

Ab-initio adiabatic-connection curves for density-functional analysis and construction (ABACUS)
Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2016,
Quantum chemistry provides two approaches to molecular electronic-structure calculations: the systematically refinable but expensive many-body wave-function methods and the inexpensive but not systematically refinable Kohn Sham method of density-functional theory (DFT). The accuracy of Kohn Sham calculations is determined by the quality of the exchange correlation functional, from which the effect ...

The anisotropic universe -- a reality or fluke? (ANISOTROPIC UNIVERSE)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
"During the last decade, a strikingly successful cosmological concordance model has been established. With only six free parameters, nearly all observables, comprising millions of data points, may be fitted with outstanding precision. However, in this beautiful picture a few ""blemishes"" have turned up, apparently not consistent with the standard model: While the model predicts that the universe ...
