Establishing the European Geological Surveys Research Area to deliver a Geological Service for Europe (GeoERA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2021,

The GeoERA proposal is put forward by the national and regional Geological Survey Organisations (GSO) of Europe. Its overall goal is to integrate the GSO’s information and knowledge on subsurface energy, water and raw material resources, to support sustainable use of the subsurface in addressing Europe’s grand challenges. The GeoERA consortium will organise and co-fund together with the EC a joint ...

ENabling Onshore CO2 Storage in Europe (ENOS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2020,

To meet the ambitious EC target of an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) needs to move rapidly towards full scale implementation with geological storage solutions both on and offshore. Onshore storage offers increased flexibility and reduced infrastructure and monitoring costs. Enabling onshore storage will support management of decarbonisation strateg ...

Implementation of sustainable groundwater use in the underground karst system of the Krásnohorská jaskyňa Cave (KRASCAVE)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

Background Slovakian groundwater resources have experienced significant depletions (by as much as 35%) since 1980. The problem is particularly acute in the area of the Slovak Karst. Intensification of agriculture and forestry have played parts in destabilising traditional hydrological systems and led to landscape changes as well as flooding issues that af ...

Developing a concept for a European minerals deposit framework (MINATURA 2020)

Start date: Feb 1, 2015, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

The exploitation of minerals in Europe is an indispensable activity to ensure that the present and future needs of the European society can be met. This means that sufficient access is required to explore and exploit minerals. At the same time the mineral needs of our society must be met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Accordingly exploitable mineral ...

Elimination of negative impacts of geological component of environment on the health status of population in Krupina district (Life for Krupina)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Background Geochemical conditions can have positive and negative impacts on human health. In Slovakia, for example, studies indicate that inhabitants of Krupina county are adversely affected by the neogen vulcanite rocks. These reduce the availability of key biogenic chemical elements such as Ca, Mg, Se, Al, Zn (all of which are needed for human health). ...

Enabling access to geological information in support of GMES (PANGEO)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

PanGeo is a service proposed in response to FP7 GMES Downstream Call 3 (released July 2009). The objective of PanGeo is to enable free and open access to geohazard information in support of GMES. This will be achieved by the generation of a validated Geohazard Data Layer supported by a Geohazard Summary for 52 of the largest towns listed in the GMES Land Theme’s Urban Atlas involving all 27 coun ...

Pan-European coordination action on CO2 Geological Storage (CGS EUROPE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

The EU has made significant progress in CCS as a bridging technology for combating climate change, but this must now accelerate and be spread evenly throughout EU Member States and Associated Countries. In this context, CO2GeoNet, CO2NET EAST and ENeRG are joining forces, pooling their expertise and building on their Networking experience to form CGS Europe, a unique concerted European reference p ...
