Adaptive Strategies to Mitigate the Impacts of Climate Change on European Freshwater Ecosystems (REFRESH)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2014,
Understanding how freshwater ecosystems will respond to future climate change is essential for the development of policies and implementation strategies needed to protect aquatic and riparian ecosystems. The future status of freshwater ecosystems is however, also dependent on changes in land-use, pollution loading and water demand. In addition the measures that need to be taken to restore freshwat ...

Modelling installation effects in geotechnical engineering (GEO-INSTALL)
Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,
The aim of the proposed Marie Curie IAPP project is to develop, validate and demonstrate new robust numerical tools for modelling large deformation problems in geotechnics, considering both quasi-static and dynamic applications. Examples of such applications are the interaction between soil and foundations during installation, service and failure, a well as prediction of slope stability (mass grav ...

Model driven Soil Probing, Site Assessment and Evaluation (ModelPROBE)
Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
Conventional techniques for site characterization are time consuming, cost intensive, and do not support decision making. Therefore, new techniques for step by step site characterization strategy with smart feed back loops are necessary. These will be able to support a future “soil framework directive”. Advanced geophysical site characterization techniques combined with new types of vegetation ana ...

"Sustainable Soil Upgrading by Developing Cost-effective, Biogeochemical Remediation Approaches" (UPSOIL)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
"UPSOIL aims to achieve a breakthrough in in-situ remediation through an innovative technological perspective taking into account the physical properties and the biogeochemical reactivity of the soil as well as the contaminants. To this end UPSOIL will develop robust technologies for fast, cost-effective, integrated source zone and plume treatment. These are designed to result both in timely reac ...

Coordination action on Environmental Technology Verification ETV - Building a framework for international cooperation (AdvanceETV)
Start date: Jan 15, 2009, End date: Jul 14, 2012,
AdvanceETV aims to demonstrate that the proposed schemes and protocols for Environmental Technologies Verification systems have the potential to be recognised internationally. Thus the main objective is to develop an international framework for cooperation and mutual recognition by supporting the cooperation of international ETV activities, e.g the International Working Group (IWG). This requires ...

Water bodies in Europe: Integrative Systems to assess Ecological status and Recovery (WISER)
Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 29, 2012,
"WISER will support the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) by developing tools for the integrated assessment of the ecological status of European surface waters (with a focus on lakes and coastal/transitional waters), and by evaluating recovery processes in rivers, lakes and coastal/transitional waters under global change constraints. The project will (1) analyse existing data ...
