progetto NAUTILOS
Programme: H2020 – Innovative Actions-LS
Project title: New Approach to Underwater Technologies for Innovative, Low-cost Ocean obServation
Acronym: NAUTILOS
Duration: 01/10/2020 - 30/09/2024
Total Budget: € 9.048.349
ISMAR budget: € 134.134
Summary:
NAUTILOS will fill in existing marine observation and modelling gaps through the development of a new generation of cost-effective sensors and samplers for physical (salinity, temperature), chemical (inorganic carbon, nutrients, oxygen), and biological (phytoplankton, zooplankton, marine mammals) essential ocean variables, in addition to micro-/nano-plastics, to improve our understanding of environmental change and anthropogenic impacts related to aquaculture, fisheries, and marine litter. Newly developed marine technologies will be integrated with different observing platforms and deployed through the use of novel approaches in a broad range of key environmental settings.
The fundamental aim of the project will be to complement and expand current European observation tools and services, to obtain a collection of data at a much higher spatial resolution and temporal regularity and length than currently available at the European scale, and to further enable and democratise the monitoring of the marine environment to both traditional and non-traditional data users. The principles that underlie the NAUTILOS project will be those of the development, integration, validation and demonstration of new cutting-edge technologies with regards to sensors, interoperability and embedding skills. NAUTILOS will also provide full and open data feed towards well- established portals and data integrators (EMODnet, CMEMS, JERICO).
