Abstract
The European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water-column Observatory (EMSO; http://www.emso-eu.org) is addressing the next challenge in Earth-ocean science: how to coordinate data acquisition, analysis, archiving, access, and response to geohazards across provincial, national, regional, and international boundaries. Such coordination is needed to optimize the use of current and planned ocean observatory systems to (1) address national and regional public safety concerns about geohazards (e.g., earthquakes, submarine landslides, tsunamis) and (2) permit broadening of their scope toward monitoring environmental change on global ocean scales.
Highlights
SCOPE AND PARTNERS European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water-column Observatory (EMSO) is a large-scale European Research Distributed Infrastructure of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) roadmap
SCOPE AND PARTNERS EMSO is a large-scale European Research Distributed Infrastructure of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) roadmap. It is composed of fixed-point, seafloor, and water-column observatories with the basic scientific objective of-real-time, long-term monitoring of environmental processes across the geosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere. This infrastructure is geographically distributed in key sites in European waters, from the Arctic through the Atlantic and Mediterranean to the Black Sea (Figure 1)
Countries currently participating in EMSO are Italy, France, Ireland, Spain, Greece, United Kingdom, Portugal, Romania, Norway, Sweden, Turkey, Germany, and the Netherlands
Summary
SCOPE AND PARTNERS EMSO is a large-scale European Research Distributed Infrastructure of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) roadmap. It is composed of fixed-point, seafloor, and water-column observatories with the basic scientific objective of (near)-real-time, long-term monitoring of environmental processes across the geosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere.
