Advance logging investigations of aquifers in coastal environments

Objective

The goal of ALIANCE is to improve the investigation, characterisation and monitoring of coastal aquifers for vulnerability assessment. For this, ALIANCE proposes to develop a set of geophysical approaches for the quantitative evaluation of brine intrusion. This includes state-of-the-art geological, geochemical, petrophysical, logging and hydrological methods, and the design of 5 new geophysical and hydrodynamical logging/testing sensors yielding new data for model validation. Two end-member sites in terms of hydrogeological behaviour will be set up for long-term experimentation, the testing of the new tools, and the validation of site-specific experimental and modelling protocols from µm- to 100 m-scale. Active in-site testing from short and longer-term injections with variable salinity fluids will simulate over drafting or saline water intrusion. The electro-hydraulic coupling principle will be used to characterise and monitor water/brine hydrodynamics in coastal environments.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
