Geo-INQUIRE project
Geo-INQUIRE
Geo-INQUIRE is funded under the EU Horizon Europe Research Infrastructure program. This is an large project covering geohazards, anthropogenic geohazards, the exploration of georesources and many other aspects related with global excellence in research related to the geosphere. This project is funded with approximately 16 Meuro for 50 month. Starting date: October 1st, 2022. Partnership: GFZ Helmholtz Centre in Postdam-Germany (coordinator) and 50 other European institutions. CINTAL is involved as third party of EMSO-ERIC, under WP2-4. People involved from CINTAL/SiPLAB: S.M. Jesus. [more...].
Abstract:
Geo-INQUIRE will provide new or greatly enhanced access to key
observations, data products, and services that will enable the
monitoring and simulation of the dynamic processes in the geosphere
at unprecedented levels of detail and precision, both spatially and
temporally. Thanks to Geo-INQUIRE, scientists from all over Europe
will gain access to vast amounts of data and to state-of-the-art
numerical models and workflows with High Performance Computing (HPC)
resources. This in turn will allow the fundamental processes within
the Earth system to be better understood, in particular, those associated
with geohazards, while also leading to an enhanced capacity for the
sustainable and safe development and use of georesources. The richness
of the ever-increasing variety and quality of geoscience-related data
means that frontier research can attain a holistic understanding of the
land-sea-lower atmosphere environments and the coupling between these
different environments, opening new avenues of research that are fully
driven by the curiosity of the researchers. For that, Geo-INQUIRE aims
to overcome traditional cross-domain barriers and will facilitate the
transformation of raw observational data into higher-level products.
Geo-INQUIRE will build on innovative data-management techniques and the
extension of data infrastructures for the seamless dissemination of these
knowledge resources to the wider scientific user base.
The availability of such data, products, and services, however, are of
little value if they are not widely known and efficiently used throughout
the scientific community. Hence, Geo-INQUIRE aims to support activities of
the RIs involved to enhance the scientific community’s awareness of the
available assets by carrying out dedicated training programs to ensure the
optimal use of the services, to support access, and to liaise with scientific
users to understand how to continuously adapt the services to meet their needs.
The user interaction carried out throughout the lifetime of Geo-INQUIRE via the
various transnational (TA) and virtual access (VA) actions will have the benefit
of supporting the RIs’strategies for continuous service enhancement, and for
defining new products and services to meet future needs for frontier science.
