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.
