Welcome to DTEClimate

"Competence Center for Climate Change Digital Twin for Earth forecasts and societal redressment: DTEClimate" aims to contribute to 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.
