a Research Infrastructure of
the ESFRI Roadmap (European
Strategy
Forum
on
Research
Infrastructures), is the European
network of seafloor observatories
(cabled
&
acoustically
linked),
constituting a distributed infrastructure
for long-term (mainly) real-time
monitoring of environmental processes
related to ecosystems, global changes
and geo-hazards to study also the
interactions between geo-, bio- and
hydro-sphere
Favali & Beranzoli, 2009a
In the EC-FP7 EMSO Preparatory Phase (12 countries) started in April 2008 for 4
years, with the aim to design and create the legal entity in charge of the infrastructure

Interdisciplinary research priorities
• Physical oceanography
water mass characterisation, water column processes, thermodynamics, ice cover,
climatology, and impacts on climate change
• 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 and failure

EXAMPLES OF RI SERVICES
Basics
• Technical Assistance
• Power supply and data transmission (e.g., junction boxes)
• Logistics (e.g., ships, underwater vehicles)
Test beds for
• Validation of prototype of underwater sensors
• Validation of new devices for underwater observatories
• Materials in corrosive ambient and lasting high pressure

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...”

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)
