Assessing subsurface potentials of the Alpine Foreland Basins for sustainable planning and use of natural resources (GeoMol)

Start date: Sep 30, 2012, End date: Jun 29, 2015,

To meet the EU’s ambitious targets for carbon emission reduction, renewable energy production must strongly be upgraded and made more efficient and capable for grid energy storage. Alpine Foreland Basins feature a unique geological inventory which can contribute substantially to tackle these challenges. Deep ‘Molasse’ basins at the fringe of the Alpine mountain range offer an abundant geothermal p ...

Development and application of mitigation and adaptation strategies and measures for counteracting the global Urban Heat Islands phenomenon (UHI)

Start date: Apr 30, 2011, End date: Apr 29, 2014,

As population of our cities grow, so does land area and this result in increase of an average temperature. The buildings and roads absorb temperature produced during the day, like giant heaters, and store it. The energy is then released during the night time. This often means a big difference in the temperature between city and its surrounding areas.This phenomenon is called the Urban Heat Island ...

Land-sea interaction: coastal state and evolution in CADSES (CADSEALAND)

Start date: Dec 31, 2003, End date: Dec 30, 2006,

The complex ensemble of natural marine, terrestrial, atmospheric processes that determine the "state" of coastal areas is the result of a statistical balance which is subject to both natural and anthropogenic changes. It is of vital importance, for the preservation and management of coastal areas, to be able to detect signs of trend in the coast state as well as to identify the nature and origin o ...
