Enhancing prediction of tropical Atlantic climate and its impacts (PREFACE)

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

Multi-product Integrated bioRefinery of Algae: from Carbon dioxide and Light Energy to high-value Specialties (MIRACLES)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Microalgae are a promising feedstock for sustainable supply of commodities and specialties for food and non-food products. Despite this potential the implementation is still limited which is mainly due to unfavourable economics. Major bottlenecks are the lack of available biomass at acceptable costs and the absence of appropriate biorefinery technologies. The 4-year MIRACLES project aims to resolv ...

Annually-resolved archives of marine climate change - development of molluscan sclerochronology for marine environmental monitoring and climatology (ARAMACC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Proposal for a multi-partner ITN (“ARAMACC”: Annually Resolved Archives of MArine Climate Change) based around the newly emerging field of molluscan sclerochronology/climatology. ARAMACC is a network of eight Full Participants and three Associated Partners. Training will be provided to ten ESRs and one ER.ARAMACC science will consist of four work packages, which will address (1) the construction o ...

Quantifying projected impacts under 2°C warming (IMPACT2C)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Political discussions on the European goal to limit global warming to 2°C demands that discussions are informed by the best available science on projected impacts and possible benefits. IMPACT2C enhances knowledge, quantifies climate change impacts, and adopts a clear and logical structure, with climate and impacts modelling, vulnerabilities, risks and economic costs, as well as potential respons ...

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

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 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 ...

European Union Basin-scale Analysis, Synthesis and Integration (EURO-BASIN) (EURO-BASIN)

Start date: Dec 31, 2010, End date: Dec 30, 2014,

EURO-BASIN is designed to advance our understanding on the variability, potential impacts, and feedbacks of global change and anthropogenic forcing on the structure, function and dynamics of the North Atlantic and associated shelf sea ecosystems as well as the key species influencing carbon sequestering and ecosystem functioning. The ultimate goal of the program is to further our capacity to manag ...

The development and evolution of the mesoderm in basal bilaterian acoel worms (Mesoderm Evolution)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

Understanding the evolution of the diversity of animal forms is one of the major tasks in biology. The use of molecular biology led to a better understanding of how evolutionary changes in the development can result in changes in the body plan. Modifications of the wiring between genes caused the adoption and co-option of gene regulatory networks that shape the morphology of the adult during the d ...

Next Generation Teaching, Education and Learning for Life (NEXT-TELL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

NEXT-TELL will provide, through research and development, computational and methodological support to teachers and students so that they have available nuanced information about learning when it is needed and in a format that is supportive of pedagogical decision making, thus optimizing the level of stimulation, challenge, and feedback density. Methods and software will be developed that cover the ...

Development of global plankton data base and model system for eco-climate early warning (GREENSEAS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

GreenSeas shall advance the quantitative knowledge of how planktonic marine ecosystems, including phytoplankton, bacterioplankton and zooplankton, will respond to environmental and climate changes. To achieve this GreenSeas will employ a combination of observation data, numerical simulations and a cross-disciplinary synthesis to develop a high quality, harmonized and standardized plankton and plan ...

Enabling CLimate Information Services for Europe - ECLISE (ECLISE)

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

"Climate and climate change has high impact on society. Better understanding and improved prediction skills of future weather and climate is vital to protect lives, goods and infrastructures. Different sectors of society and infrastructure are more or less designed to accommodate the current level of climate variability. The prospect of a changing climate necessitates adapting these designs. To pr ...
