Abstract:

Seven institutional partners from four Romanian development regions joined in a consortium focused on the following priorities: “The sustainable administration of water resources, river basins and wetlands, and “the development of scientific knowledge in the field of air, water and soil, including their interfaces”. The goal of INTER-ASPA project is to create an innovation environment able to support over multiple strategic cycles the disciplinary, inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary research of processes at the interface between air, soil, plants and air. The general objectives of the project are: 1) To manage the integration of research directions, infrastructure and human resources within the cluster of institutions to generate basic and applied knowledge about interface processes, 2) To produce a toolbox for environmental services supporting the integrated management of water, soil and biological diversity resources in Romania, 3) To open and manage communication channels with the end-users of the project’s products and to develop web accessible information systems. The correlated program of institutional development has a modular structure, covering aspects from strategic level to the tactical level of infrastructure and human resource formation, and to the operational level of four research projects. One project is mono-disciplinary in hydrogeology, one is inter-disciplinary, and two are trans-disciplinary, oriented towards societal and economic issues. We will produce 29 environmental services in level 2-4 of readiness, 2 software programs, all transferred to end-users. Sixteen end-users have provided support letter for the project.

Developing of some experimental facilities for the study of grassland and forest ecosystems in Fundata mountain area, Romania – ECOPRACT Call name:

Abstract:

A project called ECO-PRACT was implemented in 2017 to familiarize the students with several methods and techniques that are used to identify and classify species, monitor biological efficiency of the canopy in correlation with meteorological parameters, and map the mountain grasslands in the administrative territory of Fundata Village, Romania. Based on the field surveys, three groups of zonal grassland types were identified as follows: Agrostis capillaris with mesophilic character near villages, Agrostis capillaris with meso-xerophilic species on slopes, and Agrostis capillaris and other eutrophic grasses.

Towards a better protection of children against air pollution threats in the urban areas of Romania Call name:

Abstract:

Health and wellbeing of children has always been an issue of societal importance. ROKIDAIR project is mainly focusing on the health impacts of air pollutants on children. Focusing on one of the most vulnerable groups of society the project is a good starting point to raise awareness for the whole topic of air pollution and its impact on society.

ROKIDAIR project aims to improve urban air quality monitoring and forecasting activities, focusing on the critical areas’ (CAs) spatial delimitation based on the receptors’ vulnerability, and their detailed characterization in terms of PM2.5 effects on children’s health, in two towns of Romania, namely Targoviste and Ploiesti. These urban agglomerations will serve as pilot areas in order to develop and deploy a monitoring network system and adjacent information structure that will provide synthesized data concerning PM2.5 levels obtained from simplified, but reliable monitoring micro-stations and artificial intelligence (AI) forecasting algorithms developed within the project.

Abstract:

The purpose of the programme is to develop efficient instruments, based on artificial intelligence for the environmental protection taken into account that at present both at national and international level the two domains, environmental protection and artificial intelligence (by the knowledge based solutions they provide), are of strategic interest. The processes associated to the environment are not easy to be modelled and controled, as they involve the use of incomplete and uncertain knowledge. Therefore, new performant instruments are needed in order to solve the environment problems. Artificial intelligence could provide efficient solutions to the complex problems of the environment, that take into account both quantitative and qualitative, spatial and temporal aspects of the environmental processes. Among the artificial intelligence techniques that could be used with success in environmental protection we mention the following: knowledge based systems, machine learning, case based reasoning, decision support systems, artificial neural networks and intelligent agents. The postdoctorate programme proposes the study of artificial intelligence techniques application in environmental protection and the analyses of their efficiency.
