Mitigating Vulnerability of Water Resources under Climate Change  (CC-WARE)

Start date: Nov 30, 2012, End date: Nov 29, 2014,

Water resources are under increasing pressure originating from land use and climate change. Accompanied with economic changes in the SEE region the land use pattern is expected to change, too. Both processes will have severe impacts on water resources in general and drinking water resources in particular. CC-WARE aims at developing an integrated transnational strategy for water protection and miti ...

imProved Accessibility: Reliability and security of Alpine transport infrastructure related to mountainous hazards in a changing climate (PARAmount)

Start date: Aug 31, 2009, End date: Aug 30, 2012,

Transport security and accessibility are essential for a balanced and sustainable development of ASP. Due to current climatic trends, the vulnerability of transport infrastructure to natural hazards has increased. But the specific threats to transport infrastructure have not yet been tackled in a systematic joint effort. Therefore the goal of PARAmount is to improve risk management strategies for ...

actical Use of MONITORing in Natural Disaster Management (MONITOR II)

Start date: May 31, 2009, End date: May 29, 2012,

Management of natural hazards constitutes a common challenge in the SEES. Until now, neither hazard mapping nor contingency planning have been transnationally coordinated and defined in a sufficient manner. These gaps will be tackled in MONITOR II with the development of a common methodology and a CSA ("Continuous Situation Awareness") system. The integration of monitoring systems facilitates peri ...

Climate Change and Impacts on Water Supply (CC-WaterS)

Start date: Apr 30, 2009, End date: Apr 29, 2012,

Climate change (CC) affects fresh water resources and may have significant influence on public drinking water supply. Land use activities exert pressure on water resources and will change according to CC. It is crucial for safeguarding future water supply to anticipate these climate and land use changes and to assess their impacts on water resources. Transnational action is needed to prepare SEE f ...

Stakeholder oriented flood risk assessment for the Danube floodplains (DANUBE FLOODRISK)

Start date: Apr 30, 2009, End date: Apr 29, 2012,

The Danube River is one of the most important natural axes in South-East-Europe. It links most of the countries in the SEE area. Thus the improvement and good examples of transnational cooperation of all countries at this river will be a brilliant signal for the whole region. This project has a far reaching strategic focus beyond risk management and could become a flagship project for the SEE prog ...

maNET - Permafrost long-term monitoring network (PermaNET)

Start date: Jun 30, 2008, End date: Jul 13, 2011,

Permafrost is highly sensitive to climatic changes. Permafrost degradation and related natural hazards affect traffic routes, tourism areas, settlements and infrastructures. The main problem is a lacking strategy for the consideration of these newly observed specific impacts of climate change in risk prevention and territorial development. With the joint development of a common strategy for dealin ...

Monitoring Network in the Alpine Region for Persistent and Other Organic Pollutants (MONARPOP)

Start date: Jun 30, 2003, End date: Dec 30, 2007,

The natural heritage, particular forests as prevailing alpine ecosystem type, play a crucial role for a sustainable development in the Alps. Important functions are the protection from avalanches and mudflows, the economic dimension of forestry, the drinking water supply, the re-creative features for tourism and the biodiversity aspects. Pollutant input endanger this natural heritage and its funct ...
