SpoilControl will train the next generation of polyvalent researchers in the field of sustainable fermentation technologies, able to meet current and future challenges created by microbial spoilage and improve the quality & safety of fermented beverages. Europe is the historical leader of fermented drinks, whose competitiveness is intensively challenged. Microbial...
To guide climate change adaptation and mitigation, reliable information on the regional and local impacts of climate change is needed. The Destination Earth (DestinE) initiative responds to this need by developing Digital Twins (DTs) of the Earth. In particular, DestinE Climate DT provides climate information at regional and local scales over multiple decades. However, the...
Climate change (CC) poses numerous risks to society. Amongst these, recent work has quantified the impacts which adverse climate conditions can exert on economic growth and inflation by applying empirical models (EMs) to historical data. Evaluation of the extent to which historical and future CC is changing such impacts is crucial for translating these empirical insights into...
This contract is the result of the response to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) DE_393: Development and Implementation of Climate Emulator for Destination Earth (DestinE) which has been issued by ECMWF.
Launched in 2022, Destination Earth (DestinE) is a European Union-funded initiative aimed at building a highly accurate digital replica of the Earth system by 2030. This digital...
MOIRAI, named after the three Greek goddesses of fate, stands as a pioneering project at the intersection of past, present, and future. MOIRAI endeavors to weave a comprehensive understanding of the ocean's dynamics and biogeochemical cycles through advanced models, integrating historical data, current observations, and future projections. Integrated into the frameworks of...
As the world is edging closer to the 1.5 degrees planetary boundary and is failing to adequately cut greenhouse gas emissions, societal actors from all sectors and scales are requested to rapidly devise adequate responses to ensure a liveable future. However, there is a recognised usability gap in climate science, which makes that despite having better quality data, this data...
The climate system is changing rapidly and some regions have seen increases in extremes beyond what is expected from climate model simulations. To support targeted climate adaptation strategies, EXPECT will enable trustworthy assessments and predictions of regional climate change including extremes by developing a prototype operational capability for integrated attribution...
Climate change is long known to have an impact on different aspects of human health. CLIMATICAT addresses the impacts of climate on the health of the Catalan population, focusing on mental health. We address this topic by integrating different kinds of data: temperature, air pollution, geographic movement, and health (diagnoses, exacerbations, deaths). Our analyses will lead...
The INSPEnCaT project aims:
- To develop a regional climate-chemistry modeling system in order.
- To assess this impact of climate change on air pollution in Catalonia with respect to other European regions.
- To quantify the associated effect on policy-related metrics for human and vegetation exposure, and corresponding...
