SedAlp - Sediment management in Alpine basins: integrating sediment continuum, risk mitigation and hydropower (SedAlp)
Start date: Aug 31, 2012, End date: Jun 29, 2015,
SedAlp contributes to integrated management of sediment transport in Alpine basins directed to an effective reduction of sediment-related risk while promoting the enhancement of riverine ecosystems and reducing the impacts of hydropower plants (balancing the implementation of EU Directives e.g. RES, Floods and WFD). The project includes piloting actions in various representative Alpine river basin ...

Improving the Conservation Status of Fauna Species in Cyprus: from microhabitat restoration to landscape connectivity (ICOSTACY)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,
Background
Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean and boasts a rich biodiversity as a result of its biogeographical isolation and 10 000-year civilisation. The LIFE project targeted 20 fauna species and their habitats that are threatened by factors that include land-use changes, destruction of habitat, wildfires, water demand and overexpl ...

actical Use of MONITORing in Natural Disaster Management (MONITOR II)
Start date: May 31, 2009, End date: May 29, 2012,
Management of natural hazards constitutes a common challenge in the SEES. Until now, neither hazard mapping nor contingency planning have been transnationally coordinated and defined in a sufficient manner. These gaps will be tackled in MONITOR II with the development of a common methodology and a CSA ("Continuous Situation Awareness") system. The integration of monitoring systems facilitates peri ...

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 ...
