ISOTOPIC TOOLS AS NOVEL SENSORS OF EARTH SURFACE RESOURCES (IsoNose)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

Soil, water, and precious metals are major natural resources present at the Earth´s terrestrial surface and their efficient management is essential for future sustainable development. Their availability is regulated by massive biogeochemical transformations that take place as the chemical elements move from rock to soil, into plants, through ground water, into river water, and into ore deposits. T ...

Assessment and mitigation of nano-enabled product risks on human and environmental health: Development of new strategies and creation of a digital guidance tool for nanotech industries (GUIDENANO)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

The main objective of GUIDEnano is to develop innovative methodologies to evaluate and manage human and environmental health risks of nano-enabled products, considering the whole product life cycle. A strategy to identify hot spots for release of nanomaterials (NMs) will be followed by decision trees to guide on the use of (computational) exposure models and, when necessary, design of cost-effecti ...

Subsurface Microbial contribution to Dark CO2 fixation in geological storage sites. Community structure and dynamics (DARK ENERGY)

Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Dec 19, 2016,

With the aim of reducing anthropogenic CO2 emission in the atmosphere and subsequent climatic changes and ocean acidification, carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the deep subsurface has been envisaged as one of the mitigating solution. Its efficiency is currently evaluated at the Hellisheidi CO2 injection site in Iceland. This pilot site is implemented in the Hengill area (SW Iceland). This field ...

"Dynamic Landscapes, Coastal Environments and Human Dispersals" (DISPERSE)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

"We aim to understand the relationship between dynamic changes in physical landscapes and patterns of human dispersal and development in prehistory, paying particular attention to the impact of active tectonics and sea-level change. We will:• Introduce and develop concepts and techniques of tectonic geomorphology and mapping to analyse the relationship between geological instability, complex topog ...

Towards continuous monitoring of the continuously changing Earth (Whisper)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

This project is focused on the use of the seismic ambient noise to monitor slight changes of properties in the solid Earth. Processing of noise records allow s to mimic a situation in which a perfectly repeatable source is activated at the location of a passive recorder. The implication is the detection of changes of strain at depth with applications in different contexts. A major field of applic ...

Imaging 3D mantle and geological structures beneath Europe by the joint inversion of body wave and surface wave anisotropy (JIBSA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

"The project concerns relating the lithospheric and deep mantle structures with the surface geology beneath the European continent.The investigations will be based on the rich digital sets of seismograms registered at the networks of European seismological stations such as the Virtual European Broadband Network. Using information from different types of seismic waves will provide complementary sam ...

Deep Earth Chemistry of the Core (DECore)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

Core formation represents the major chemical differentiation event on the terrestrial planets, involving the separation of a metallic liquid from the silicate matrix that subsequently evolves into the current silicate crust and mantle. The generation of the Earth’s magnetic field is ultimately tied to the segregation and crystallization of the core, and is an important factor in establishing plane ...

Cratonic basins: an archive of lithosphere-mantle interaction (Cratonic basins)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

Fundamental to our understanding of the Earth is the theory of plate tectonics. This predicts that throughout the Earth’s history the continents have converged to form large continental assemblies and subsequently broken apart and dispersed. It is hypothesised that continents cyclically converge and disperse. Since the Precambrian, ~600 million years ago, there have been two supercontinents: Gondw ...
