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 ...

Adaptation to Climate Change in the Alpine Space (AdaptAlp)
Start date: Aug 31, 2008, End date: Aug 30, 2011,
Climate change is to a large extent constituted by increasing temperatures and changed precipitation patterns. Any change of these critical factors has implications on the frequency & extent of natural hazards. The uncertainties and the increase of natural hazards due to the impacts of CC requires concerted management in the Alpine Space. AdaptAlp will improve information on impacts of CC esp. on ...

maNET - Permafrost long-term monitoring network (PermaNET)
Start date: Jun 30, 2008, End date: Jul 13, 2011,
Permafrost is highly sensitive to climatic changes. Permafrost degradation and related natural hazards affect traffic routes, tourism areas, settlements and infrastructures. The main problem is a lacking strategy for the consideration of these newly observed specific impacts of climate change in risk prevention and territorial development. With the joint development of a common strategy for dealin ...
