Empowering climate resilience

Start date: Oct 15, 2016, End date: Oct 14, 2018,

By focusing on urban resilience, CARE addresses one of the most urgent topics in EU and Latin America (LA). Most LA countries are dealing with climate risk management issues, but they lack a holistic and common approach to resilience. International cooperation seems then the best-fit environment where to develop joint learning tools, go in depth on peculiar research and deliver support to policy m ...

Global Earth Observation for integrated water resource assessment (eartH2Observe)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

The project eartH2Observe brings together the findings from European FP projects DEWFORA, GLOWASIS, WATCH, GEOWOW and others. It will integrate available global earth observations (EO), in-situ datasets and models and will construct a global water resources re-analysis dataset of significant length (several decades). The resulting data will allow for improved insights on the full extent of availab ...

Raising the alert about critical feedbacks between climate and long-term land use change in the Amazon (AMAZALERT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

AMAZALERT will enable raising the alert about critical feedbacks between climate, society, land-use change, vegetation change, water availability and policies in Amazonia. We will:1) analyze and improve coupled models of global climate and Amazon, land use, vegetation and socio-economic drivers to quantify anthropogenic and climate induced land-use and land cover change and non-linear, irreversibl ...

Palm harvest impacts in tropical forests (PALMS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"Tropical forests harbour thousands of useful plants which are harvested and used in subsistence economies or traded in local, regional or international markets. The effect on the ecosystem is little known, and the forests’ resilience is badly understod. Palms are the most useful group of plants in tropical American forests and we will study the effect of extraction and trade of palms on forest in ...

Functionalities of Bismuth based nanostructures (BisNano)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

The aim of the present project is to explore the properties and possible applications of bismuth and bismuth based compounds when they are synthesized at the nanometric scale. This approach is motivated by the uncommon but advantageous properties of bismuth which, in part, have been exploited for many years. However, there are many unexplored possibilities and with the advent of nanotechnology new ...

Hierarchical and Distributed Model Predictive Control of Large-Scale Systems (HD-MPC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

Manufacturing systems, power networks, transportation systems, road traffic networks, process plants, and other large-scale networked systems are often composed of multiple subsystems, with many embedded sensors and actuators, and characterised by complex dynamics and mutual influences such that local control decisions have long-range effects throughout the system. This results in a huge number o ...
