EMSO ERIC L'infrastruttura di ricerca europea EMSO ERIC: il Mediterraneo e l'offshore

italiano

EMSO (European Multidisciplinary Seafloor

and water-column Observatory) is a

European Research Infrastructure

Consortium (ERIC) strategically distributed,

with a powerful capability to record a large

number of high-quality environmental

parameters

EMSO ERIC

8 Regional Facilities

and 3 Test sites

located at strategic

sites from the North

Atlantic through

the Mediterranean,

to the Black Sea

REGIONAL

FACILITIES AND

MISSION .

To establish a comprehensive and smart sensor system in water

column, seafloor, and sub-seafloor

environments as part of the

integrated and sustainable organization EMSO ERIC

This distributed infrastructure

provides HQ data and knowledge to illuminate major environmental processes to understand the

complex interactions among the geosphere, biosphere and

hydrosphere

EMSO ERIC provides harmonized integration, operation and

development of Regional Facilities

DISTRIBUTED ORGANISATION MODE

It increases visibility, capacity and research, supported by a distributed

strategy, offering integrated services to a broad range of users

Science

Data Engineering &

Logistics Communication

Industry & Innovation

Quality Control on data products and access to shared databases

Implementation of best practices and

interoperability

Capacity building, ease of access to

expanded shared services

Centralised procurement

Coordination of global goals and action plans

Cooperation on

regional, European and Worldwide actions

EMSO ERIC is much more than a network

It will accomplish objectives on a greater scale than what would be accessible individually by the

Regional Facilities

EMSO ERIC Regional Facilities look forward to:

STRENGTHS

OF REGIONAL FACILITIES

GLOBAL

LANDSCAPE

Socioeconomic

benefit of the

Ocean

Observatories Science Constant Improving scientific

understanding of the oceans;

A Better understanding of the

ecosystem benefits of the oceans;

A better understanding of the role

of the oceans in the overall earth

system

EMSO represents capacity to address Societal

Benefits of the Ocean Observatories

Scope Increasing demand of HQ data due improvements in technology,

communications data storage, online information, etc.

Ocean data are valued

Technology Testing and demonstration marine

operations

Sensor and platform development

Massive data storage

Environmental policies

EGIM measurements:

▪ Temperature

▪ Conductivity

▪ Pressure

▪ Dissolved O2

▪ Turbidity

▪ Ocean currents

▪ Passive acoustics

The development of EGIM is an example of the engineering services that EMSO can provide

EGIM-EMSO Generic Instrument Module is envisioned to ensure increased coordination, integration, interopera-bility and standardisation across sites and disciplines

EGIM tests at OBSEA

EGIM connection

WHAT’S JOINT RESEARCH UNIT (JRU)? JRU is a collaborative agreement among research institutions

(universities or research centres) recognized by EC and by the

Country

JRU includes National partners to favour the realization of

projects sharing resources in a defined research area

EMSO-Italy can benefit of the European research infrastructure
