SUBMarine cablEs for ReSearch and Exploration

Project description

New tools to extract the secrets of the deep

The EU-funded SUBMERSE project aims to develop a world-class research instrument by integrating existing infrastructures like NREN, EPOS, and the Copernicus Marine service. It will use already installed, live telecommunications submarine optical fibers to gather state of polarisation (SoP1) and distributed acoustic sensor (DAS2) data. SUBMERSE will enable the continuous recording of data for research use supporting diverse user communities from various scientific and social disciplines, such as georisks, early warning for seismic/volcanic events, and the detection and protection of marine life. The project's consortium, coordinated by the EFIS Centre, counts 24 organisations (18 full partner, 5 affiliated, 1 associated). SUBMERSE is set to run for 36 months.

Objective

This proposal responds to the call Next generation of scientific instrumentation, tools and methods (2022) (HORIZON-INFRA-2022-TECH-01). The proposal seeks to directly address the challenges to develop a new world-class research instrument integrating already existing NREN and EPOS infrastructures and Copernicus Marine service, from three European nations, as well as Pan-European and Pan-American institutions, to disseminate FAIR compliant State of Polarisation and Distributed Acoustic Sensor data, gathered from the same, already installed, live, telecommunications submarine optical fibres, in a temporally consistent and geographically dispersed way. Such an instrument would deliver innovative scientific instrumentation, methods and tools as well as advancing the involved research infrastructures by developing new state of the art services and long-term data sets of unique scientific value.

This project will enable continuous recording of these types of data for research use by NRENs for the first time, thus supporting of diverse academic, industrial and governmental user communities. Through the integration with EPOS data infrastructure , existing research communities in solid earth (EPOS) and marine science (EMSO), industrial and public body communities can be complimented with entirely new types of data sets unavailable to them before, which it is believed will lead to new areas of research.
