Submarine Canyons: Applying Geomorphometry to understand their Evolution (CAGE)
Start date: Oct 21, 2010, End date: Oct 20, 2012,
"Submarine canyons are deep, steep-sided valleys incised in the seafloor. They are major geomorphological features that dissect most of the world's ocean margins. Submarine canyons serve as temporary sinks and conduits for sediment, nutrients, organic carbon and associated pollutants, and they host a large quantity and diversity of habitats and biological communities. In spite of their relevance a ...

The Deep Sea & Sub-Seafloor Frontier (DS³F)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2012,
"The Deep Sea and Sub-Seafloor Frontier project (DS³F) provides a pathway towards sustainable management of oceanic resources on a European scale. It will develop subseafloor sampling strategies for enhanced understanding of deep-sea and subseafloor processes by connecting marine research in life and geosciences, climate and environmental change, with socio-economic issues and policy building. Sub ...

Environmental VARIableS RegulaTing DivErsity and FaUnal DistributionS in Canyon and Lower Slope Ecosystems of the Western Mediterranean (ARISTEUS)
Start date: Mar 16, 2009, End date: Mar 15, 2012,
"Major questions about the functioning of marine ecosystems on the continental margin concern their interrelationship/dependence on the natural drivers (physical and geological processes), as they are strongly physically and geologically mediated and potentially affected by human and climate change perturbations. Indeed, recent studies in the Western Mediterranean have demonstrated that flows trig ...

Preparatory Phase for a Deep Sea Facility in the Mediterranean for Neutrino Astronomy and Associated Sciences (KM3NET-PP)
Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,
In the framework of the KM3NeT Preparatory Phase project the strategic, legal and financial issues are addressed related to the construction of an European deep-sea infrastructure housing a cubic kilometre size Cherenkov neutrino telescope and providing access for deep-sea research. Many technical issues are already addressed in the KM3NeT Design Study, started in 2006, that at the end of its work ...
