The specific objectives that will be followed during the project development comprise:

  • O1. Actively provide support for policy implementation at national level contributing to the European Climate Change Adaptation strategy in Romania
  • O2. Enforce a national network of excellence interconnecting research expertise and innovative thinking to support a smart, systemic adaptation. Support the national platform - RO-ADAPT by sharing knowledge for a climate resilient country.
  • O3. Promote the use of Artificial intelligence for Climate Change
  • O4. Respond to the HORIZON-MISS-2023-CLIMA, HORIZON-MISS-2023-CLIMA-CITIES, HORIZON-MISS-2023-CLIMA-OCEAN-SOIL and other relevant calls including ESA related ITTs
  • O5. Tailor the adaptation services considering social factors and the dynamics of the political and social context.
  • O7. Establish a strategy for dissemination, communication, and an action plan for exploitation - a roadmap to ensure Competence Centre sustainability beyond the project’s timeline.

Strengthening the Academic Environment for DTEClimate

Despite the progress in AI and Earth Observation (EO) technologies, there are still large gaps in our knowledge for modelling and understanding the effects of climate changes at the scale of human activity. Among the main objectives of the project, we have to increase the awareness and to leverage academia to act to create a robust knowledge base for action. In this spirit, the project stimulates academic activities, i.e. master courses to include in their curricula relevant elements as understanding of climate processes, EO, advanced technologies, adaptation technologies, or societal aspects.

2nd DTEClimate Symposium

The symposium aimed to introduce the concept of the DTEClimate Competence Center and to catalyze a national community contributing to climate change adaptation measures. It focused on sharing best practices for vulnerability and risk assessment, while also exploring new directions for policies and research strategies related to climate adaptation. The project consortium presented the center's concept, showcased a selection of achieved results, and engaged stakeholders in discussing their vision and the impact of collaboration with the Competence Center. The event concluded with a panel discussion, where the DTEClimate Competence Center's agenda was debated.

Workshopul - One Health Digital Twin in cadrul conferintei "Științele Vieții Astăzi pentru Mâine" organizata de Universitatea pentru Științele Vieții „Ion Ionescu de la Brad” din Iași

În cadrul simpozionului „Științele Vieții Astăzi pentru Mâine”, desfășurat la Iași, România, în perioada 23-26 octombrie 2024, s-a organizat workshopul dedicat implementarii One Health Digital Twin. Pentru a înțelege, anticipa și combate bolile infecțioase emergente transmise de vectori și zoonotice, este necesara dezvoltarea unei abordari integrate, One-Health, care să ia în considerare legăturile dintre sănătatea umană, sănătatea animală și sănătatea mediului. Acest lucru implică în mod special stabilirea unui sistem de supraveghere care combină supravegherea umană și animală (detectarea cazurilor umane/animale și a rezervoarelor virale animale), supravegherea entomologică (identificarea vectorilor și a riscului vectorial asociat) și monitorizarea mediului.

Prezentarea rezultatelor activitatii de cercetare la conferinta ATOMS 2024

La conferința "2024 IEEE Conference on Advanced Topics on Measurement and Simulation" (ATOMS), în cadrul sesiunii "Remote Sensing Systems", desfășurată pe data de 28 august, au fost prezentate trei lucrari de cercetare. Aceste lucrări subliniază eforturile continue în evaluarea riscurilor legate de secetă, schimbările temporale ale Deltei Dunării și impactul schimbărilor climatice asupra bolilor transmise de vectori, folosind tehnologii avansate de observare a Pământului. Prin utilizarea datelor de la senzorii satelitari, aceste studii contribuie semnificativ la înțelegerea și adaptarea la noile provocări ecologice și de sănătate publică. Împreună, aceste cercetări oferă noi perspective și soluții pentru managementul și mitigarea efectelor schimbărilor climatice la nivel global.

Dezvoltarea automata a unui set de date multimodal de referinta - IGARSS 2024

Lucrarea intitulată "Multimodal-Ready Sentinel Dataset for Natural Hazards Supervised Learning", autori Ioan GRUJDIN si Mihai DATCU, a fost publicată după prezentarea sa la conferința IEEE IGARSS 2024. Studiul explorează utilizarea inovatoare a datelor de teledetecție (RS) multimodale pentru a îmbunătăți capabilitățile analitice ale datelor prin integrarea tipurilor de date variate, cum ar fi imaginile și datele geospațiale. Această integrare își propune să îmbunătățească performanțele de clasificare a imaginilor și segmentarea semantică.

REACTIVE project Kickoff meeting

The REACTIVE project is one of the five component projects of the DTEClimate Competence Center, aiming to develop a comprehensive monitoring service for atmosphere-hydrosphere-lithosphere data. This service will provide, for the first time, an integrated perspective on how climate change-driven extreme events can affect soil structure and critical infrastructures in seismically vulnerable areas.

Subprojects

AI4DTEclimate project proposes contributions to five initial complementary challenges through five specific subprojects

Specific RDI Project 1: AI4DTE - Artificial Intelligence in Earth Observation for Understanding and Predicting Climate Change
The implementation of a specific hybrid AI paradigm for EO, Time Series in fusion with complementary, heterogeneous data or observations that will hierarchically structure the information sources will offer an enhanced perspective of the biophysical variables derived for Earth monitoring. Historical monitoring of these variables paves the way for prediction, hence raising great perspectives to submit proposals in the frame of the 2nd Pillar- Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment.
Specific RDI Project 2: Act4DEutrophication - Active Measures for Restoring Sweet-Water Lakes and Coastal Areas affected by Eutrophication addressing the Enhancement of Resilience to Climate Change and Biodiversity
The System of Systems Approach applied to the eutrophication of sweet-water lakes and Black Sea West coast waters serves as a reference model for addressing all aspects of Climate Change Adaptation in Romania and the EU. Understanding the means to reverse the eutrophication processes in the context of Climate Change adaptation and development of innovative solutions for de-eutrophication of sweet-water lakes and coastal provides added value and means to contribute tu Health Ocean, seas, costal an inland water EU mission proposals.
Specific RDI Project 3: EO4NATURE - Exploitation of Satellite Earth Observation data for Natural Capital Accounting and Biodiversity Management
Increase the existing expertise on analyzing the state of ecosystems (habitats and species subcomponents) and to maintain the capacity to provide services under climate change pressures, analyzed through indicators derived from EO data and validated with in-situ data. Natural capital bioproductive capacity to support the bioindustry and bioeconomy for mitigation of climate change and to increase sustainability of local businesses. Produce adaptation knowledge as requested for actions aiming to protect biodiversity and ecosystems functioning and service delivery.
Specific RDI Project 4: REACTIVE - The Research center for climate change due to natural disasters and extreme weather events
The coupled atmosphere-hydrosphere-lithosphere data monitoring service to be developed will provide for the first time an integrated view of how climate-change-stimulated phenomena can impact ground structure and motion properties in seismically vulnerable locations.
Specific RDI Project 5: VeBDisease - Assessing climate change impact on the vector-borne diseases in the One-Health context
To understand, anticipate and fight vector-borne emerging animal and zoonotic infectious diseases, it is necessary to develop an integrated One-Health approach considering the links between human health, animal health, and environmental health. This notably involves setting up a surveillance system combining human and animal surveillance (detection of human/animal cases and animal virus reservoirs), entomological surveillance (identification of vectors and the associated vector risk) and environmental monitoring).
