Objective
The Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR) and team leader Prof. Emmanouil Anagnostou (returning from USA) propose to establish a research team aimed at advancing predictability of water cycle and coastal ecosystem/pollution and improving the consistency of climate change simulations and consequently of our understanding in terms of impacts on water resources.
The research team will focus on three major thrust areas:
(1) hydro-meteorology/water cycle where the team will seek to address deficiencies in predictability by building an integrative data-modelling system for the simulation of hydrologic quantities and characterizing their uncertainty;
(2) coastal ecosystem/pollution where the team will research innovative approaches connecting the water cycle predictions with soil erosion, wetland discharges, terrestrial inputs of inorganic and organic matter in coastal areas, water pollution, and effects on coastal ecosystem structure and dynamics; and
(3) climate change where the team will seek to enhance the ability of Global Climate Models (GCM) to simulate vegetation-atmosphere water flux exchanges, thus improve GCMs' skill to predict the impact of surface hydrological processes on the Earth's climate system.
We anticipate that successful implementation of the proposed research will yield significant advances and breakthroughs in the predictability of continental hydrologic parameters and climate change science. HCMR puts special emphasis on this proposal, which is considered key to facilitating the successful re-integration of Prof. Anagnostou in Europe through the establishment of an excellence team within HCMR researching advanced concepts on Water Cycle and Climate Change. In support of this proposal, HCMR commits resources to both facilitate and absorb the research work to be initiated in the proposed project.
