Objetivos e Atividades
The Collaboratory for Geosciences (C4G) is a distributed research infrastructure (RI) that promotes networking of researchers and sharing of equipment, data, collections and tools in Solid Earth Sciences (SES). C4G comprises the disciplines of geology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, geodesy, geophysics, geomechanics and geomathematics. It provides services in the crosscutting areas of georesources, natural hazards and the environment, for the Portuguese territory, both onshore and offshore.
C4G offers access to a wide variety of services related to the Geosciences, including seismic data and networks, geophysical exploration, laboratories of rock physics and geomechanics, geodetic data and networks (including gravity data), geochemical and mineralogical laboratories, magnetic data and observatories, geological data and laboratories, geomathematics, remote sensing and paleomagnetism laboratories.
Resultados Esperados/Atingidos
By organizing a vast network of resources and making them available in a more organized way to academia and the research community in general, C4G will have a positive impact on advanced training and research excellence, boosting the national capacity to integrate H2020 initiatives, (...)including (...)environmental impacts and remediation, detection and monitoring of contaminated areas, CO2 storage, exploration exploitation-benefiting of mineral resources (both ores and industrial raw materials), evaluation of mineral reserves, development of innovative tools in hydrocarbon exploration and reservoir modeling, evaluation and exploration of other georesources, such as geothermal energy and shale gas, seismic monitoring, assessment and mapping of natural hazards and risks, monitoring of space weather conditions, installation and maintenance of geodetic GNSS networks (several in Africa) and development and setup of e-infrastructures. |
