Research into Impacts and Safety in CO2 Storage (RISCS) (RISCS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
"Although significant leakage from CO2 storage sites is not expected, if it did occur there could be adverse environmental consequences, which are not well constrained. The objective of RISCS is to provide fundamental research on environmental impacts, necessary to underpin frameworks for the safe management of CO2 storage sites. To achieve this, RISCS will quantitatively assess environmental impa ...

Advanced Methodologies for the Determination of the Lability of Trace Metals and Their Application to Contaminated Soils (MeDeA)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
Much of Western Europe has inherited soil contaminated with heavy metals from past mining, mineral processing and industrial activities. When performing risk assessment for eco-toxicological, human health or ground water vulnerability studies the major issue is not the total concentration of the heavy metal but its labile fraction i.e. the proportion of the metal transferable to an aqueous phase i ...

African-European Georesources Observation System (AEGOS)
Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2011,
Africa, the largest single component of the African Caribbean Pacific (ACP) Group of States, despite its huge potential for development through both human and georesources, suffers in many places from poverty and underdevelopment. The sustainable use of its resources is a key issue, not only for development of the African countries, but also for the world’s future. Over the coming decades, these i ...
