EUropean Provision Of Regional Impact Assessment on a Seasonal-to-decadal timescale (EUPORIAS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

Recent advances in our understanding and forecasting of climate and climate change have brought us to the point where skilful and useful predictions are being made. These forecasts hold the potential for being of great value for a wide range of decision-makers who are affected by the vagaries of the climate and who would benefit from understanding and better managing climate-related risks. Howeve ...

Mitigate and assess risk from volcanic impact on terrain and human activities (MIAVITA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

In EU countries, volcanic risks assessment and management are tackled through scientific knowledge and monitoring, although there is still a need for integration between all risk management components. For international cooperation partner countries (ICPCs), the risk management depends on local situations but is often less favourable. Therefore, following UN International Strategy for Disaster Red ...
