EMSO-PT Research Infrastructure
About
<p>Submarine observatories monitoring biotic and abiotic factors over time</p>
<p>The European Multidisciplinary Seafloor Observatory - Portugal (EMSO-PT) aims at implementing a network of multidisciplinary underwater observatories located along the Atlantic coast, laboratories, and data processing support infrastructures. The goal of EMSO-PT is to generate continuous scientific data on marine environmental processes related to the interaction between the geosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere and to develop new sensors and platforms which will extend ocean monitoring national capabilities soon.</p> <p>Location: North Atlantic</p>
Where we act
<p>INESC TEC involvement in EMSO-PT addresses the establishment of long-term non-fixed observatories, and such work is organised along two complementary lines: relocatable nodes and long-endurance mobile platforms. The Portuguese participation in EMSO has been focused on the Azores and Cadiz node, in cooperation with France and Italy. These observatories will merge “of-the-self” technology, which will ensure that they will meet the international standards, with novel approaches (based on networked, autonomous observation platforms), that will contribute to more sustainable monitoring operations and create the basis for the development of new marine products and services, creating value and qualified jobs.</p>
