Fixed Point Open Ocean Observatories Network (FIXO3)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
The Fixed point Open Ocean Observatory network (FixO3) seeks to integrate European open ocean fixed point observatories and to improve access to these key installations for the broader community. These will provide multidisciplinary observations in all parts of the oceans from the air-sea interface to the deep seafloor. Coordinated by the National Oceanography Centre, UK, FixO3 will build on the s ...

Managing Impacts of Deep-seA reSource exploitation (MIDAS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
The MIDAS project addresses fundamental environmental issues relating to the exploitation of deep-sea mineral and energy resources; specifically polymetallic sulphides, manganese nodules, cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts, methane hydrates and the potential mining of rare earth elements. These new industries will have significant impacts on deep-sea ecosystems, in some cases extending over hundre ...

Marine robotic system of self-organizing, logically linked physical nodes (MORPH)
Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,
Description
The MORPH project advances the novel concept of an underwater robotic system composed of a number of spatially separated mobile robot-modules, carrying distinct and yet complementary resources. Instead of being physically coupled, the modules are connected via virtual links that rely on the flow of information among them. Without ...

Factors controlling carbonate production and destruction of cold-water coral reefs of the NE Atlantic (CoralChange)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
Cold-water coral reefs are important but poorly studied ecosystems. Given global climate change, two important questions are (1) what are the environmental controls of reef framework growth? and (2) how might cold-water corals be affected by environmental change? This project addresses these questions by studying the geographic patterns of carbonate production (bioaccretion) and destruction (bioer ...

Hotspot Ecosystem Research and Man's Impact on European seas (HERMIONE)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
The HERMIONE project is designed to make a major advance in our knowledge of the functioning of deep-sea ecosystems and their contribution to the production of goods and services. This will be achieved through a highly interdisciplinary approach (including biologists, ecologists, microbiologists, biogeochemists, sedimentologists, physical oceanographers, modelers and socio-economists) that will in ...
