Biogeochemistry global carbon cycle and elemental cycling within the ocean through both physical and biological processes, and ocean acidification • Marine ecology distribution and abundance of sea life, ocean productivity, biodiversity, ecosystem function, living resources, and climate feedbacks • Geoscience transfer from Earth’s interior to the crust, hydrosphere and biosphere, fluid flow and gas seepage through sediments and gas hydrate, non-living resources, sediment transfer to deep-sea and climate change • Geo-hazards earthquake and tsunami hazard, volcanic hazard, slope instability

Goals of the Preparatory Phase Creation of EMSO organisation body FUNDING AGENCIES AGREEMENT AND COMMITTMENT Technical Economic Plan EMSO-PP will constitute the roundtable to build consensus among Nations ESONET, 2nd All Regions Workshop, 5-7 October 2009, Paris Output: Legal Framework and Governance ESFRI Definition for Distributed RI: – “...is a singular Research Infrastructure, having a unique Name and legal status, Management Structure (director or board of directors), Strategy and Development Plan, Access point for users, Annual Report and Fiscal address although its research facilities are distributed in multiple sites...” “This would range between: – An infrastructure having facilities located in different sites, operated solely by one legal entity, and – An infrastructure set up as a central hub which is responsible for the coordinated operation of several closely coordinated facilities...” ESONET, 2nd All Regions Workshop, 5-7 October 2009, Paris Output: financial engineering Member States Other Stakeholders (e.g., Industry) European Commission Funding through national programmes Funding through RTD programmes or inclusion in DGREGIO/DG-DEV strategic plans Research Infrastructure EIB Loans Up to 50% of project costs ESONET, 2nd All Regions Workshop, 5-7 October 2009, Paris Benefits for the Scientific Community EMSO will bring about a breakthrough on: Geo-hazard warning Environmental policies Understanding the climate impacts and the anthropogenic forcing High-level training and education of researchers, engineers and technicians Knowledge and technology transfer Interaction with industry ESONET, 2nd All Regions Workshop, 5-7 October 2009, Paris Impact Public Policy – Environmental – Resources – Public health and safety – Security Economic Development – Growth of marine technology industry – Innovative technologies – Tourism Education and Public Engagement ESONET, 2nd All Regions Workshop, 5-7 October 2009, Paris Benefits for the Society • Natural hazard mitigation (earthquakes, tsunamis) • Understanding climate changes • Marine environment preservation and sustainable development • Strong impact on SMEs in marine technologies • Potential involvement of the oil companies and biotecnology industries • Impact on education and job creation opportunities ESONET, 2nd All Regions Workshop, 5-7 October 2009,

Infrastructures SI ESONET, 2nd All Regions Workshop, 5-7 October 2009, Paris OS Short-term: Perspectives • The EMSO Preparatory Phase will create the legal governance to establish and manage the infrastructure • In most of the EMSO sites permanent structures are under development Long-term: • Multidisciplinary time series (sub-seafloor, seafloor and water column) to study Ecosystems, Global changes, Earth Sciences and Geo-hazards and for Environment protection • Platform for data access and management • Marine component of GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) and GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems) ESONET, 2nd All Regions Workshop, 5-7 October 2009, Paris Thank you for your attention Paolo Favali EMSO-PP Co-ordinator [email protected] ESONET, 2nd All
