Running projects

Project acronym	CEUBIOM	Duration	2007-2009
Full Title	Classification of European Biomass Potential for Bioenergy Using Terrestrial and Earth Observations
Programme	FP7	Website	coming soon
Description	The main objective of the project is to develop a common methodology for gathering information on biomass potential using terrestrial and earth observations. This objective will be achieved by the implementation of a systematic assessment work plan and will result in the establishment of a harmonised approach and an e-training tool for dissemination.

Finished

Project acronym	GEMSTONE	Duration	2006-2008
Full Title	GEophysical Methods for STudying OperatioN of flood Embankments
Programme	EUREKA	Website
Description	Geophysical research of linear anti-flooding dams and research of technology for prediction of their destruction

Project acronym	FLOODSITE	Duration	2004-2009
Full Title	Integrated Flood risk analysis and management methodologies
Programme	FP6-Global Change	Website	http://www.floodsite.net
Description	The FLOODsite is an integrated project on floods, its consortium includes over 30 of Europe’s leading institutes and universities and the project involves managers, researchers and practitioners from a range of government, commercial and research organisations, specialising in aspects of flood risk management.

Project acronym		Duration	2006-2008
Full Title	Use of geo-information technologies for precision of precipitation-outflow relation models.
Programme	Grant Agency of Czech Republic	Website
Description	The project should improve rainfall-runoff models with utilisation of GIS, various sources of data and processing methods, and to verify suitability of linking and combination of individual models in selected pilot reas. The part of the project is also to propose the way of application of these models in practice through web based system and web services. Rainfall estimation from radar measurements and historical records of rainfall measurement are applied. Basic model will be extended and combined with other models representing behaviour of individual parts of water balance. More concretely, kvasi 2D hydrological model HELP, snow melting model (degree/day) and locally hydrogeological model will be used.

Project acronym		Duration	2005-2007
Full Title	Long-term monitoring of geotechnical conditions of protective flood embankments using non/destructive geophysical methods
Programme	Academy of Sciences	Website
Description	The project continues in development and validation of geophysical technologies for monitoring of dikes which is based on the results of EU project Impact. The technology will be able to detect potential defects in linear water management constructions.
