Abstract:
The overall scope of RO-CEO is to increase the capacity of Romanian organizations to contribute to ESA’s EO programmes and projects, by setting-up the Romanian Cluster for Earth Observation, a formal association of organizations, with its own statute and agenda. The main roles of the cluster are: a) to promote (to ESA and other space-relevant organizations) the specific interests and relevant capacities at national level, and attract more investments and contracts for the Romanian institutions; b) to improve the provision of services to end-users by joining complementary skills and expertise; c) to ensure the sustainability of the EO sector in Romania by enabling EO market development.

Abstract:
Este bine cunoscut ca regiunea numita NEAM (North East Atlantic, Mediterranean and Adjacent Seas) este expusa tsunamiurilor si,
ca si in alte regiuni ale globului, si ea se confrunta cu cresterea nivelului de risc datorita urmatorilor factori: (i) dezvoltarea continua a zonelor costiere, (ii) construirea unor infrastructuri critice si (iii) prezenta mereu crescanda, pe plajele atractive ale marilor si oceanelor a sute de mii de turisti.
Marea Neagra face parte din NEAM ca mare adiacenta. INCDFP este Punct National de Contact (Tsunami National Contact - TNC) in cadrul “Intergovernmental Coordination Group for the Tsunami Early Warning and Mitigation System in the NEAM”. Se fac demersuri pentru a deveni si Centru National de Avertizare pentru Tsunami (National Tsunami Warning Center - NTWC).
In ultimii ani, cercetatorii europeni si-au imbogatit foarte mult cunostintele din domeniul hazardului datorat tsunamiurilor si au implementat infrastructuri operationale prin crearea de sisteme regionale de urmarire a tsunamiurilor (Candidate Tsunami-Watch Providers - CTWP) si centre nationale de alertare (NTWC). Cu toate acestea au ramas multe zone neexplorate si de aceea este nevoie de un efort suplimentar sustinut pentru acoperirea lacunelor. ASTARTE-BS (Assessment STrategy And Risk for Tsunami in Europe – Black Sea) își propune să dezvolte o strategie cuprinzătoare pentru a atenua impactul tsunamiurilor în regiunea NEAM – Marea Neagra. Pentru atingerea acestui obiectiv, s-a creat un consorțiu interdisciplinar si multinational format din 27 de parteneri care include toti CTWP apartinand NEAM cat si institutii cu experienta din Europa si din lume.
ASTARTE-BS va imbunatati (i) cunostintele de baza legate de generarea si recurenta pe termen lung tsunamiurilor trecand dincolo de simpla folosire a unor cataloage, prin folosirea unor noi date de observatie dar si a analizelor statistice sofisticate pentru evaluarea hazardului corelat cu producerea evenimen-telor mari si extreme in zonele expuse ale NEAM-Marea Neagra, (ii) tehnicile numerice de simulare a tsunamiurilor, cu accent pe codurile în timp real și noi abordări de emulare statistice si (iii) metodele de evaluare ale hazardului, vulnerabilitatii si riscului. ASTARTE-BS va oferi, de asemenea, (i) liniile directoare pentru Eurocodurile din domeniul tsunamiu-rilor, (ii) instrumente mai bune pentru prognoza și avertizarea CTWPs și NTWCs si (iii) ghiduri practice pentru factorii de decizie pentru cresterea rezilientei comunităților din zonele costiere ale marii Negre. În concluzie, ASTARTE-BS va dezvolta elemente științifice și tehnice de bază care să permită o îmbunătățire semnificativă a sistemului de avertizare la tsunami în zona Marii Negre din punctul de vedere al monitorizarii și prognozei. Scopul final al proiectului este de a creste reziliența societatii la tsunami, prin îmbunătățirea pregătirii populației din zona costieră, și, în cele din urmă, de a salva vieți și bunuri materiale.

Abstract:
DARING will develop a scientific based practical instrument in preventing and mitigating the devastating effects of large dams breakage caused by destructive earthquakes. Taking advantages of the consortium experience accumulated in hazard and risk assessment, monitoring and warning accordingly to novel geophysical and seismological theories, observations and models, the project involves the technological means in creating a powerful operational tool which will be used to increase the safety level of the downstream territories, improving life's quality and diminishing possibly huge losses.
The project gathers high level scientific knowledge on probabilistic hazard, vulnerability and seismic risk assessment, using seismic, geophysical, and InSAR approaches, and practical activities of real time monitoring to construct an effective warning and informing application, with both theoretical and material benefits. From this point of view, the project constitutes a turntable which combines the theoretical models and practical observations to produce an output of augmented scientific and practical results.
Three major directions will be developed in this project, to reach its final objective, to provide the emergency services with warnings of a potential dam failure and ensuing flood, allowing further public notification and evacuation:
1. Research area
Probabilistic seismic hazard (PSH), vulnerability and risk in 6 counties from Moldova region including Izvorul Muntelui Dam, down on Bistrita and following on Siret River and theirs affluent. A number of more than 30 dams will be studied and two of the most vulnerable will be chosen for monitoring and warning, as pilot sites, following an extension to the scale of the entire country. Flooding maps will be drawn to find the most exposed downstream localities both for risk assessment studies and warnings.
2. Monitoring dams, lakes, slopes and downstream
Ground and space-based technologies will allow to record and characterize the behavior of the structure, terrain and slopes' stability of studied sites and to corroborate this information with the water quantity currently retained in these hydrological accumulations, and with the meteorological data.
We propose a model of seismic vibration monitoring, one water-level meter in the upstream, 3 floating triggered switches at different elevations for rapid water level changes detection in the downstream and one meteorological station, while satellite interferometric radar observations will provide data regarding millimeters displacements of slopes over long periods.
3. Information and warning system
This is the immediate practical output of the project, which will be performed in 2 steps: local warnings, triggered by strong motion accelerometers system, at large vibrations of different typologies affecting the dam site and/or quickly rising water levels in the downstream triggered by the water level meters and the float switches and early regional warning in the case of a large Vrancea earthquake, triggered by the system already installed in the epicentral zone.
The last product of the project will be a dedicated web portal which will present the seismicity, the seismic hazard and risk values, the geophysical map revealing floodable areas, potential risk and affected localities.

Abstract:
The scope of the project is to perform ground measurements on clouds, aerosols, solar radiation and to analyse the resulted data through correlation with other precursor factors as well as the Vrancea seismic activity. The resulted research infrastructure will be integrated in the existing EPOS network (project coordinator, NIEP, is the initiator and member of the consortium). A complete analysis of the data requires information from the ESA EarthCare space mission, which will be validated and completed. In the end, the focus of the project is the growth of the seismic alert service through: perfecting risk evaluation, seismic forecast, informing the decision factors regarding the impact minimization of natural disasters and the education of the population.
