 TERMINÉ 
A current challenge to ecologists is to predict how compositional shifts at the base of the aquatic food web propagate up to higher trophic levels. Energy or resource availability for upper trophic levels is governed by food-chain length and by factors that regulate the rate of energy transfer from primary producers to consumers. The conceptual ideas are however based on limited empirical data and ...

Ocean Strategic Services beyond 2015 (OSS2015)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2014,

"The first level of GMES applications in the marine area is mostly represented by the ""upstream"" services of the MCS (e.g. MyOcean). Unfortunately, the current MyOcean offering of products and services for biogeochemistry has limitations that prevent a full uptake by the potential users. The present project proposes to address these issues through a range of R&D activities designed to offer a se ...

"Seismic oceanography is the application of seismic reflection profiling together with conventional oceanographic techniques to the study of physical oceanographic processes. Seismic oceanography data were acquired in April and May, 2010 in the Tyrrhenian Sea and imaged so-called thermohaline staircases. Thermohaline staircases are regular, well-defined, step-like variations in vertical temperatu ...

Stratospheric ozone: Halogen Impacts in a Varying Atmosphere (Shiva)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2009, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,

SHIVA aims to reduce uncertainties in present and future stratospheric halogen loading and ozone depletion resulting from climate feedbacks between emissions and transport of ozone depleting substances (ODS). Of particular relevance will be studies of short and very short-lived substances (VSLS) with climate-sensitive natural emissions. We will perform field studies of ODS production, emission and ...

Thermohaline Overturning - at Risk? (THOR)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2008, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2012,

"THOR will establish an operational system that will monitor and forecast the development of the North Atlantic THC on decadal time scales and access its stability and the risk of a breakdown in a changing climate. Together with pre-existing data sets, ongoing observations within the project will allow precise quantitative monitoring of the Atlantic THC and its sources. This will, for the first ti ...

Calcification by Marine Organisms (CalMarO)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2012,

CalMarO aims at the comprehensive training of twelve young researchers in the field of calcification by marine organisms based on a Network of thirteen research institutions and four SMEs. The Network participants are acknowledged experts with complementary research or commercial approaches in this field. Calcification is a fundamental physiological process of marine organisms that is largely det ...

Distributed Dynamic Diversity Databases for Life (4D4Life)

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

A coherent classification and species checklist of the world's plants, animals, fungi and microbes is fundamental for accessing information about biodiversity. The Catalogue of Life provides the world with a unique service: a dynamically updated global index of validated scientific names, synonyms and common names integrated within a single taxonomic hierarchy.The Catalogue of Life was initiated a ...

Trophic Cascades in Marine Ecosystems (SeagrassTIME)

Date du début: 1 août 2008, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2012,

Eutrophication is one of the most serious impacts on coastal ecosystems worldwide. It is traditionally viewed as being controlled by light and nutrients availability. However, despite reduction of nutrient input alarmingly high loss of coastal habitats has been observed to endure. It is increasingly being accepted that bottom-up controls, such as abundance and diversity of herbivore grazers, may h ...

"Hypoxic (low oxygen) conditions in aquatic ecosystems increase in number, duration and extent due to global warming and eutrophication. Global warming will lead to degassing of oxygen, increased stratification, reduced deep-water circulation and changes in wind patterns affecting transport and mixing. Projected increases in hypoxia (e.g. doubling of “dead zones”) are accompanied by enhanced emiss ...

Coordination Action Carbon Observation System (COCOS)

Date du début: 1 mai 2008, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2011,

"COCOS will assess the status of harmonization of key carbon cycle variables with international partners. It will improve the interoperability of data sets that are used in global scale carbon cycle studies through joint activities between ecosystem, atmospheric and ocean bottom-up and top down observation communities. COCOS will also perform integrated regional-scale multiple constraint assessmen ...

Privacy and Identity Management for Community Services (PICOS)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2008, Date de fin: 30 juin 2011,

With the emergence of services for professional and private on-line collaboration via the Internet, many European citizens spend work and leisure time in on-line communities. Users consciously leave private information; they may also leave personalized traces they are unaware of. PICOS will develop and build a state-of-the-art platform for providing the trust, privacy and identity management aspec ...

 TERMINÉ 
At present there are a number of fixed point observatories that autonomously measure biological, chemical and physical variables in the oceans around Europe. These operate at various levels of sophistication but in a largely uncoordinated and fragmented manner. There is no agreed set of basic variables and common data protocols are not followed. EuroSITES has two main objectives: 1: To enhance th ...
