The Cretaceous Greenhouse World and its impact on terrestrial ecosystems in Asia Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Pascal Godefroit, Philippe Claeys
The "Cretaceous Greenhouse World" refers to an episode of Earth history that lasted from about 110 to 90 million years ago and characterized by high atmospheric CO2 levels (estimated to be 3-8 times pre-industrial CO2 concentrations), general absence of polar ice caps, reduced temperature gradients from the Equator to the poles, and much warmer oceans (5-9°C in tropical latitudes) than today. This CO2 buildup resulted from intensive submarine ...
BELAM Belgian Antarctic Meteorites: Curation and Research Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Sophie DECREE, W. De Vos, Philippe Claeys
The BELAM proposal is written in the framework of the research programme "Polar terrestrial research", and more specifically the "Management of data and collections" part. It is the natural continuation of the BELISA-SAMBA project (Search for Antarctic Meteorites, Belgian Activities) started in 2009, at the initiative of Prof. Claeys of the VUB that already led to the collection, by Belgian-Japanese teams, of more than 800 meteorites near ...
Climate Change Impacts on the Marine Environment: Research Results and Public Perception Flanders Marine Institute
The CLAMER project will combine the knowledge about the impact of climate change on European marine ecosystems and species, and the public perception with regard to the problem in the coastal areas of the various regional seas.
Ferries Observando los Canales Australes Flanders Marine Institute
In the archipelago southeast of the Pacific Ocean (Chile-Patagonia) oceanographic parameters are intensive and real-time monitored via regular ferry routes. The data are freely available to end users to support a more sustainable management of coastal waters and as an early warning system for toxic algal blooms.
Innovative technologies for safer European coasts in a changing climate Flanders Marine Institute
THESEUS will develop a systematic approach to delivering both a low-risk coast for human use and healthy habitats for evolving coastal zones subject to multiple change factors. The innovative combined mitigation and adaptation technologies to be considered will include ecologically-based mitigation measures, hydro-morphodynamic techniques , actions to reduce the impact on society and economy and GIS-based software to support defense planning.
European Marine Observation and Data Network - Chemical Lot Flanders Marine Institute
EMODnet aims to develop a system to make marine data available in support of scientists, policy makers and other end-users, within the framework of the new European maritime policy. A portal is developed for chemical data. VLIZ participates in this project that is co-ordinated by the Italian National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics (OGS).
