EMSO-PT - European Multidisciplinary Seafloor Observatory - Portugal
Published in 6/10/2020
EMSO-ERIC is a large-scale European Research Infrastructure, that include deep ocean multidisciplinary observatories. Its main goal is to monitor, in real-time and long-term, environmental processes related to the interaction between the geosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere. It is a geographically distributed infrastructure at key sites in European waters, spanning the Arctic, the Atlantic, and the Mediterranean, up to the Black Sea. Portugal is one of its five funding members and, so far, its participation has been focused on Azores and Cadiz nodes, in cooperation with France (Azores) and Italy (Cadiz). For its purpose, it uses two of the few available technological solutions for long term seafloor monitoring (ASSEM and GEOSTAR). The ultimate goal of EMSO-PT is to organize the Portuguese contribution to the EMSO network. More information abut EMSO-PT here.
