Dissecting speciation using a genomics approach (RHINOSPEC)
Start date: Apr 14, 2014, End date: Apr 13, 2015,
Our proposal will tackle a central issue in biology: what is the genetic basis of species differentiation? Recent evidence of genetic exchange among species has led many to reject the traditional view that speciation requires complete reproductive isolation. Instead, the emerging new concept of so-called ‘genic speciation’ asserts that reproductive barriers can be established by divergence at only ...

Climate change - Learning from the past climate (Past4Future)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
Past4Future will combine multidisciplinary paleoclimate records from ice cores, marine cores, speleothems, pollen and other records, concentrating on a global distribution of the records, to reconstruct climate change and variability during the present interglacial (the Holocene) and the last interglacial (known as the Eemian in northwestern Europe and as marine isotope stage 5e in the marine sedi ...

Innovative coastal technologies for safer European coasts in a changing climate (THESEUS)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
Coastal areas are vital economic hubs in terms of settlement, industry, agriculture, trade and tourism to mention some key sectors. There are already many coastal problems including erosion, flood risk and long-term habitat deterioration. As economies continue to develop the asset base at risk will grow, while accelerating climate change will increase the likelihood of damaging extreme events, as ...

EUROPEAN UNION & THE WORLD SEEN FROM ABROAD (EUROBROADMAP)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
Geographers are the most critical social scientists when it comes to the delimitation of borders of the so-called European continent. Continents as Huntington’s civilisation are ideological productions that are certainly not based on natural facts. But they are deeply enhanced in the mind of European citizens and policy makers because they were historically produced by Europeans as a tool of world ...
