Optimizing and Enhancing the Integrated Atlantic Ocean Observing System (AtlantOS)
Start date: Apr 1, 2015, End date: Jun 30, 2019,
The overarching objective of AtlantOS is to achieve a transition from a loosely-coordinated set of existing ocean observing activities to a sustainable, efficient, and fit-for-purpose Integrated Atlantic Ocean Observing System (IAOOS), by defining requirements and systems design, improving the readiness of observing networks and data systems, and engaging stakeholders around the Atlantic; and leav ...

Fixed Point Open Ocean Observatories Network (FIXO3)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
The Fixed point Open Ocean Observatory network (FixO3) seeks to integrate European open ocean fixed point observatories and to improve access to these key installations for the broader community. These will provide multidisciplinary observations in all parts of the oceans from the air-sea interface to the deep seafloor. Coordinated by the National Oceanography Centre, UK, FixO3 will build on the s ...

Marine robotic system of self-organizing, logically linked physical nodes (MORPH)
Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,
Description
The MORPH project advances the novel concept of an underwater robotic system composed of a number of spatially separated mobile robot-modules, carrying distinct and yet complementary resources. Instead of being physically coupled, the modules are connected via virtual links that rely on the flow of information among them. Without ...

Ecological Function and Biodiversity Indicators in European Soils (ECOFINDERS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
The strategic goal of EcoFINDERS is to provide the EC with tools to design and implement soil strategies aimed at ensuring sustainable use of soils, including: i) Characterisation of European soil biodiversity; ii) Determination of relations between soil biodiversity, soil functions and ecosystem services; iii) Design of policy-relevant and cost-effective indicators for monitoring soil biodiversit ...

Knowledge-based Sustainable Management for Europe's Seas (KnowSeas)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
Europe’s four regional seas (Baltic, Black, Mediterranean and NE Atlantic) have suffered severe environmental degradation due to human pressure. Existing measures to manage pressures have proven inadequate and the EC has responded by proposing a new policy (Maritime Strategy Blue Book) and environmental legislation (Marine Strategy Directive), both currently close to adoption. These instruments re ...

Development of a novel autonomous vehicle significantly reducing costs related to subsea sensors deployment and recovery (AutoDrop)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
There is a distinct need for an improved method for accurate and inexpensive deployment and retrieval of seabed sensors and equipment. The AutoDrop will be hydro dynamically designed in order to glide through the water experiencing a minimum of drag. The rudders will maintain stability and change the direction if desired. It is important that the time used by the AutoDrop to travel from the surfac ...
