THE OCEAN OF TOMORROW
SCHeMA: Integrated In Situ Chemical MApping probes
EU FP7- OCEAN OF TOMORROW 2013
Introduction: Ocean facts
Source: Climate Change Impacts on the United States
The oceans influence the Earth’s climate through the exchange of heat, water and chemical compounds with the atmosphere
94% of life on Earth is aquatic
Introduction: Ocean Facts
Half the world's population lives
within 60 km of the sea. Three-quarters of all large cities
are located on the coast
Introduction: Ocean facts
Oceans resources and contribution to economy
http://ec.europa.eu/maritimeaffairs/policy/blue_growth/index_en.htm
The main Blue sectors
Oceans resources and contribution to economy
Roughly: 5.4 million Added value: 500 billion € a year
http://ec.europa.eu/maritimeaffairs/policy/blue_growth/index_en.htm
Marine resources and their sustainable use
Creating a sustainable Blue Growth Economy contributing to prosperity and well being of billions of people can be achieved only by maintaining:
- the fragile equilibrium and health - the productivity and diversity of the marine ecosystems.
Anthropic impacts
Today, a number of marine ecosystems are underperforming due to severe environmental stress from land- and marine-based human activities
ADVERSE EFFECTS ON:
ecosystem equilibrium
living resources & diversity
human health
economy
Ocean monitoring and risk assessment
Detailed spatial and temporal measurements required for efficient
water quality monitoring
risk assessment
to define appropriate action to ensure further sustainable management
and therefore Blue Growth Economy
Ocean monitoring
Technological advances during the last two decades providing facilities for
detection with large, intermediate and small spatial coverage
Modified from: Zielinski O. et al, Ocean Sci. 5, 2009, 329
Ocean in situ monitoring : Present gaps
Limited number of commercially available sensor probes
Complexity of :
- analytical preconcentration and/or
- sample pretreatments (e.g. WET analyzers for nutrients)
- “large” reagent vol. and need of frequent maintenance
Number of proposed solutions are too:
- bulky
- expensive
- power hungry
for widespread use.
Lack of standardization in:
- wired and wireless networking solutions
- web-based data information system
Ocean-2013.2 call - Criteria to fulfill:
Innovative sensors with improved:
- sensitivity, selectivity and reliability
- robustness
Miniaturization
Minimum reagents requirements
Low power consumption and cost
Standardization of :
- wired and wireless networking solutions
- web-based data information system
Chemical sensor probe network development
