VEGETANTAR - Multitemporal vegetation mapping in the Antarctic Peninsula through multiscale remote sensing

The main objective of VEGETANTAR is to make a multitemporal mapping of the vegetation in the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) through remote sensing. Although the most adequate satellite dataset covering the AP (Landsat series since the 1970s) does not have enough spatial resolution (30m and worse) to directly identify most of the sparse and patchy vegetated surfaces, their spectral unmixing with the aid of higher spatial resolution imagery can overcome this issue.

MINEA-Mining the European Anthroposphere

Mining the European Anthroposphere strives for a breakthrough in the field of waste and resource management and pursues the establishment of a universally acceptable and internationally applicable scheme for the classification and reporting of resource potentials. To this end, the COST Action works to form a pan-European network of high-quality researchers, engineers and scholars to coordinate nationally funded research activities.

FIRE - Fogo Island volcano: multi disciplinary Research on 2014 Eruption

Fogo, in the Cape Verde archipelago, is one of the most active oceanic island volcanoes in the world – it has erupted approximately every 20 years since the island was discovered in the 15th century. The most recent eruption of Fogo volcano started on Nov 23, 2014, and a few days later the Collaboratorium for Geosciences (C4G), a consortium included in the National Strategic Research Infrastructure Roadmap, received a request of collaboration from Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia e Geofisica (INMGCV) to assist the instrumental observation of the eruption.

RASA - Risks associated with soils and aquifers systems at CMSM: chemical and viral evaluation.

This Project is centered on the identification and characterization of the risks associated with viral load and the chemical constituents present in the aquifer systems and soils of the Sta. Margarida Military Camp (CMSM) after 60 years of use. Although water supply to the "urban zone" of the CMSM is performed through the municipal public water supply system, the Caniceira borehole has been regularly used both for the washing of military installations and vehicles and for filling pool used by the occupants of the CMSM.

REMInE: Improve Resource Efficiency and Minimize Environmental Footprint

The global demand for metals and minerals is growing rapidly; Europe has a huge trade deficit for metallic minerals, and therefore needs to extract more of its own resources to reduce this dependence. The occurrence of valuable minerals and metals in historical mine waste can in many cases constitute a risk for the environment, but can also be a resource of critical materials.

ECOBOND-Development of new autoreactive and ecological monocomponent adhesives

This project aims to develop new self-adhesive ecological monocomponent adhesives for the footwear, automotive and aeronautics industries. The adhesives will contain isocyanates, essential for a quality adhesive bond, but encapsulated and therefore without any risk to health and the environment.

Tasks: Chemical synthesis and development of new isocyanate-containing microcapsules; Experimental development of new adhesives

 

ALFAGREEN - All For A Green Future: Biorefining the Energreen liquefied, development of new related products and up-grade of the pilot plant for this purpose

The AlfaGreen project has an implementation period from 1 April 2016 to 30 September 2018 with a budget allocation of 1,000,272.73. SECIL and CERENA-IST are the two entities that integrate this project, which has as a physical and conceptual basis the construction of a biorefinery from the ENERGREEN pilot plant, previously built for the production of advanced liquid biofuel from biomass / wastes for subsequent use in the energy supply of cement kilns.
