3. Side 3 Mat.-nat. Fak. søndag, 20. juli 2014 Links to programmes:  The European GMES programme for Global Monitoring for Environment and Security has identified a need for a sub-sea component of a proposed surveillance system as a complementary instrument to land and space born systems.  EMSO observatories will allow permanent real-time environmental monitoring under global climate change. Thus EMSO is expected to become one of the key- components of GMES and the GEOS 10-year implementation plan[1].[1] [1] http://earthobservations.org/docs/10-Year%20Implementation%20Plan.pdf Det matematisk– naturvitenskapelige fakultet

5. Side 5 Mat.-nat. Fak. søndag, 20. juli 2014 EMSO objectives: The European Multidisciplinary Seafloor Observation (EMSO) infrastructure is based on a European-scale network of seafloor observatories and platforms with the basic scientific objective of long-term monitoring mainly in real- time of environmental processes related to the interaction between the geosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere.

Fak. søndag, 20. juli 2014 Norwegian participation: Develop next generation of science and technology towards a strategic observing, monitoring and prediction system for a permanent interactive presence in the ocean. Global climate change will affect the physical, biological and biogeochemical characteristics of ocean environments along the Norwegian-Barents-Svalbard margin modifying their functions in an unknown way.
