EMSO European Multidisciplinary Seafloor Observatory

EMSO, a Research Infrastructure of the ESFRI Roadmap, is the European network of fixed seafloor and water column observatories constituting a distributed infrastructure for long-term (mainly) real-time monitoring of environmental processes. In the EC-FP7 EMSO Preparatory Phase (12 countries) started

Presentation Transcript

    3. EMSO is A European distributed marine Research Infrastructure: permanent, large-scale, deep-sea laboratory to address the key issues Marine Ecosystems Climate Change Geo-Hazards

    7. Unravelling the complexity: interactions between atmosphere, ocean, earth processes

    8. EMSO Mission is to address the following needs:

    9. Open Access Modality The EMSO real time or near-real time data will be available through internet to scientists and they will run their experiments remotely Open Access (data, facilities and personnel) does not mean unrestricted and unlimited access Access rules will be defined and will depend on: Country involvement in the RI Profile of the user (scientist, industry or others)

    10. e-Infrastructures for data management, communication and decision making Real-time and near-real-time data require appropriate storage, data quality assessment and processing/modelling addressable through e-infrastructures Web-based platform for data and instrumentation remote access

    11. History of European Observatory Initiatives

    16. Western Ionian Sea The 1st cabled prototype node (from 2005)

    19. Governance Structure ERIC Statute in preparation GOVERNING BODIES Assembly of Members - AoM Director General - DG Finance Committee - FC Scientific Advisory Committee - SAC ORGANISATION Executive Board - EB Network Control Department - NCD Regional Departments - RDs

    20. Key elements EMSO will have: Central co-ordination Regional Departments

    21. Design of a funding plan

    24. Benefits for the Scientific Community

    25. Innovation: knowledge spin-out process

    26. Interactions with stakeholders Great potential to have a large number of users outside the Scientific Community Civil Protection (e.g., tsunami early warning, disaster management) Governmental environmental monitoring organisations Operational oceanography Fisheries management

    27. Links with Industry Involvement of the Industry (large and SMEs) within EMSO is at multiple level As RI component developer/supplier and service provider Sensors, acquisition systems, cables, software, etc... Ship-time As user Existing involvement: Oil companies Potential: biotechnology, materials technology, others…

    29. A different approach to education about the role of the oceans Education and recreational activities (aquaria, etc…): real-time images from the abyss

    30. Benefits for the Society Natural hazard mitigation Understanding climate changes Marine environment preservation and sustainable development Strong impact on SMEs in marine technologies Impact on education and job creation opportunities
