Solutions for present and future emerging pollutants in land and water resources management (SOLUTIONS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

"SOLUTIONS will deliver a conceptual framework for the evidence-based development of environmental and water policies. This will integrate innovative chemical and effect-based monitoring tools with a full set of exposure, effect and risk models and assessment options. Uniquely, SOLUTIONS taps (i) expertise of leading European scientists of major FP6/FP7 projects on chemicals in the water cycle, (i ...

ADVANCED TOOLS FOR EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT AND BIOMONITORING (A-TEAM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"A-TEAM is a major co-ordinated supradisciplinary study. It seeks to develop understanding of a variety of aspects related to external and internal exposure to selected chemicals using a single, well-characterised human cohort (the “A-TEAM”). Its overriding hypothesis is that current approaches used to monitor human exposure to consumer chemicals can be substantially improved by filling gaps in sc ...

Activation of old carbon from thawing permafrost in Arctic Siberia (ACTIVE PERMAFROST)

Start date: Jan 15, 2014, End date: Nov 13, 2016,

The most important mechanism in the earth system that could move significant quantities of green house gases into the atmosphere within this century is thawing permafrost. The potential for carbon release from thawing permafrost to affect global-climate links is realized from the sheer magnitude of the permafrost pools (~2,800 Pg-C) relative to the atmospheric carbon pools (~760 Pg-C). Recent resu ...

"Sources, transport, and degradation of permafrost-derived organic carbon in a warming Arctic: the Siberian Shelf" (ARCTIC)

Start date: Aug 20, 2012, End date: Aug 19, 2014,

"Among the mechanisms that could move significant quantities of green house gases into the atmosphere within this century, climate scientists are particularly concerned about the carbon (C) locked in permanently frozen Arctic ground that is now being released because of warming temperatures. Given the extent of this mega-pool of C (~1,400 Gt of C) susceptible to climate-induce changes compared to ...

SOURCE APPORTIONMENT OF CLIMATE-FORCING BLACK CARBON IN ARCTIC AEROSOLS BY COMPOUND-SPECIFIC RADIOCARBON ANALYSIS (Arctic BC14)

Start date: May 14, 2012, End date: May 13, 2014,

Anthropogenic climate warming is particularly enhanced in the Arctic. The climate forcing agents are CO2, tropospheric ozone, methane, halocarbons and carbonaceous aerosols. A key component is airborne black carbon (BC), which is a highly condensed carbonaceous aerosol released from incomplete combustion of organic matter. Arctic acts as a repository of BC after long-range transport from other emi ...
