Development and application of mitigation and adaptation strategies and measures for counteracting the global Urban Heat Islands phenomenon (UHI)
Start date: Apr 30, 2011, End date: Apr 29, 2014,
...and roads absorb temperature produced during the day, like giant heaters, and store it. The energy is then released during the night time. This often means a big difference in the temperature between city and its surrounding areas.This phenomenon is called the Urban Heat Island (UHI) and is known and studied since eighties.

Management of Groundwater at Industrially Contaminated Areas (MAGIC)
Start date: May 31, 2005, End date: Mar 30, 2008,
The MAGIC project is focussed on the clean up of complex damages in large groundwater bodies. In particular the common situation of multiple pollution sources in derelict areas requires innovative pro-cedures instead of the conventional single-case treatment. Thus key feature of MAGIC is to further develop the innovative, integral, emission-orientated management approach developed in the FP5 RTD-p ...
