Effects of phosphorus limitations on Life, Earth system and Society (IMBALANCE-P)
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2020,
P is an earthbound and finite element and the prospect of constrained access to mineable P resources has already triggered geopolitical disputes. In contrast to P, availabilities of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) to ecosystems are rapidly increasing in most areas of the globe. The resulting imminent change in the stoichiometry of available elements will have no equivalent in the Earth’s history and w ...

Harnessing the power of crowdsourcing to improve land cover and land-use information (CrowdLand)
Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2019,
Information about land cover, land use and the change over time is used for a wide range of applications such as nature protection and biodiversity, forest and water management, urban and transport planning, natural hazard prevention and mitigation, agricultural policies and monitoring climate change. Furthermore, high quality spatially explicit information on land cover change is an essential inp ...

Delivery of sustainable supply of non-food biomass to support a “resource-efficient” Bioeconomy in Europe (S2BIOM)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,
The main aim of this project is to support the sustainable delivery of non-food biomass feedstock at local, regional and pan European level through developing strategies, and roadmaps that will be informed by a “computerized and easy to use” toolset (and respective databases) with update harmonized datasets at local, regional, national and pan European level for EU27, western Balkans, Turkey and U ...

Economics of climate change adaptation in Europe (ECONADAPT)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
The aim of the ECONADAPT project is to provide user-orientated methodologies and evidence relating to economic appraisal criteria to inform the choice of adaptation actions using analysis that incorporates cross-scale governance under conditions of uncertainty. A critical theme of the proposal is therefore to support the application of adaptation economics in the period following the publication o ...

Multi-Objective Decision Making Tools through Citizen Engagement (Consensus)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
Every real-world planning problem, especially in governance and policy-making, possesses several objectives that are typically subject to inherent conflicts with underlying tradeoffs to be discovered. Policy makers are in need of proper tools that will utilize an overall analytical process, that is, assist in modelling the real-world planning process, automatically obtain the best attainable trade ...

Operational Global Carbon Observing System (GEOCARBON)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
Today, countries use a wide variety of methods to monitor the carbon cycle and it is difficult to compare datafromcountry to country and to get a clear global picture. The current global observational and modelling capabilitiesallow us to produce estimates of carbon budget at different level (from local to global) but many uncertainties stillremain. Decision makers need now more than ever systemat ...
