Five multidisciplinary projects to tackle impacts and propose solutions
Welcome to DTEClimate

"Competence Center for Climate Change Digital Twin for Earth forecasts and societal redressment: DTEClimate" aims to implement the European strategy for adaptation to climate change in Romania by consolidating a national network of excellence

The project is structured around the following specific objectives:

  • 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 climate-change adaptation 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
  • O6. Establish a strategy for dissemination, communication, and an action plan for exploitation - a roadmap to ensure Competence Centre sustainability beyond the project’s timeline

REACTIVE: Climate Signals in Seismic Site Response

An important advancement of REACTIVE is the integrative use of environmental seismology, where existing seismic networks are used to detect signals related not only to earthquakes but also to atmospheric and environmental processes. Understanding how soil moisture influences seismic response is essential for climate-aware seismic hazard assessment - especially in regions experiencing intensified rainfall patterns.

Subprojects

DTEClimate proposes contributions to five subprojects which respond to complementary challenges driven by climate change

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).
