EPOS Implementation Phase (EPOS IP)
Start date: Oct 1, 2015, End date: Sep 30, 2019,
The nations of Europe are distributed around some of the most complex and dynamic geological systems on the planet and understanding these is essential to the security of livelihoods and economic power of Europeans. Many of the solutions to the grand challenges in the geosciences have been led by European scientists – the understanding of stratigraphy (the timing and distribution of layers of sedi ...

Atmospheric dynamics Research InfraStructure in Europe (ARISE2)
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2018,
It has been robustly demonstrated that variations in the circulation of the middle atmosphere influence weather and climate throughout the troposphere all the way to the Earth’s surface. A key part of the coupling between the troposphere and stratosphere occurs through the propagation and breaking of planetary-scale Rossby waves and gravity waves. Limited observation of the middle atmosphere and t ...

Strategies and tools for Real Time EArthquake RisK ReducTion (REAKT)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
Earthquakes are a serious threat for many European countries, particularly those around the Mediterranean Sea. In many cities exposed to high earthquake hazard, a substantial proportion of the population still lives in buildings that do not meet modern earthquake-resistant standards. Preventive actions, such as retrofitting of structures, are essential, but they are not sufficient and cannot be a ...

European Plate Observing System (EPOS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
To understand the complex Earth System requires an integrated observational strategy and infrastructure to record key diagnostic features of its dynamics. Accordingly, this infrastructure must include geographically distributed and multidisciplinary monitoring instruments and observations. The European Plate Observing System (EPOS) will meet this challenge. The proposed RI (EPOS) will create a sin ...

Network of European Research Infrastructures for Earthquake Risk Assessment and Mitigation (NERA)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
"The overall aim of NERA is to achieve a measurable improvement and a long-term impact in the assessment and reduction of the vulnerability of constructions and citizens to earthquakes. NERA will integrate the key research infrastructures in Europe to monitor earthquakes and assess their hazard and risk, and will combine expertise in observational and strong-motion seismology, modeling, geotechnic ...

Seismic Hazard Harmonization in Europe (SHARE)
Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
SHARE will deliver measurable progress in all steps leading to a harmonized assessment of seismic hazard – in the definition of engineering requirements, in the collection and analysis of input data, in procedures for hazard assessment, and in engineering applications. SHARE will create a unified framework and computational infrastructure for seismic hazard assessment and produce an integrated Eur ...
