MANAGING THE EFFECTS OF MULTIPLE STRESSORS ON AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS UNDER WATER SCARCITY (GLOBAQUA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

Water and water-related services are major components of the human wellbeing, and as such are major factors of socio-economic development in Europe; yet freshwater systems are under threat by a variety of stressors (organic and inorganic pollution, geomorphological alterations, land cover change, water abstraction, invasive species and pathogens. Some stressors, such as water scarcity, can be a st ...

High-End cLimate Impacts and eXtremes (HELIX)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

"With the target of limiting global warming to 2ºC increasingly difficult to achieve, policymakers, businesses and other decision-makers need to plan to adapt to changes in climate under higher levels of global warming. This requires coherent information on the future climate conditions, and the consequences of different adaptation actions. International negotiations on limiting global warming a ...

Sharing Water-related Information to Tackle Changes in the Hydrosphere - for Operational Needs (SWITCH-ON)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

"The project SWITCH-ON addresses water concerns to thoroughly explore and exploit the significant and currently untapped potential of open data. Water information is highly sought after by many kinds of end-users, both within government and business as well as within civil society. Water touches virtually all societal and environmental domains and the knowledge domain is largely multidisciplinary. ...

Direct Normal Irradiance Nowcasting methods for optimized operation of concentrating solar technologies (DNICAST)

Start date: Oct 15, 2013, End date: Oct 14, 2017,

Concentrating solar technologies (CST) have proven to be very efficient sources of “clean” power for the electrical grid. The efficient operation of concentrating solar technologies requires reliable forecasts of the incident irradiance for two main reasons. First, such forecasts yield a better management of the thermodynamic cycle because it becomes possible to dynamically fine tune some of its p ...

Infrastructure for the European Network for Earth System modelling - Phase 2 (IS-ENES2)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

IS-ENES2 is the second phase project of the distributed e-infrastructure of models, model data and metadata of the European Network for Earth System Modelling (ENES). This network gathers together the European modelling community working on understanding and predicting climate variability and change. ENES organizes and supports European contributions to international experiments used in assessment ...

Seasonal-to-decadal climate Prediction for the improvement of European Climate Services (SPECS)

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

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) sponsored the Global Framework on Climate Services (GFCS) where the need for actionable climate information for periods from several months up to several years for economic, industrial and political planning has been expressed. However, progress in seasonal forecasting has been slow and decadal forecasting is still incipient. At the same time, new model ...

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 ...

Joint Programming Initiative Connecting Climate Knowledge for Europe - Coordination and Support Action (JPI CLIMATE CSA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The overall objective of this Coordination and Support Action is to coordinate and support the development and the implementation plans of the Joint Programming Initiative ‘Connecting Climate Knowledge for Europe’ (JPI Climate). The CSA will serve as a tool integrated in JPI Climate to enable it to address the challenges of climate change. Hence, it will contribute to the EU objective of building ...

GMES - Partnership for User Requirement Evaluation (GMES-PURE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"The GMES Initial Operations Programme Regulation places the lead of user interaction under EU responsibility. Supporting this, we propose to implement on behalf of the EC a transparent process for user involvement in the definition of user requirements for the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring and Atmosphere Monitoring Services for the timeframe 2014-2035, including their translation into ...
