SDG 13: Climate Action

How can we monitor underground water tables? How can they be protected from various sources of pollution? What warning systems should be put in place? These questions are the subject of a major European research project: NINFA.

The MODELIS research team at IMT Atlantique's Automation, Production Engineering and Computer Science department (LS2N) is working to optimize the operation of complex systems, such as goods flows, transport networks and production chains.

Electrifying thermal processes as a solution for industry decarbonation.

The project aims to develop cost-effective groundwater monitoring strategies, pollution prevention and abatement technologies, and an early warning system.

Gathering 31 partners from 10 different countries, DECARBOMILE aims to trigger an unprecedented improvement of the green last mile logistics in Europe. To reach that goal, DECARBOMILE relies on a strong experience of decarbonating urban logistics through European initiatives such as CIVITAS.

EDITO-Model Lab will prepare the next generation of ocean models, complementary to Copernicus Marine Service to be integrated into the EU public infrastructure of the European Digital Twin Ocean [j1] (EDITO) that will ensure access to required input and validation data (from EMODnet, EuroGOOS, ECMWF, Copernicus Services and Sentinels satellite observations) and to hig

Within the SAMOSAFER project, the challenge is to develop new assessment and simulation tools for this Gen-IV reactor with respect to these innovative safety features.

Statistical physics shows strong benefits when describing multi-scale complex systems such as: fluid turbulence, climate or neural signals.  In particular, Information Theory exhibits strong potentialities in the study of complex systems due to its power to characterize non-linear behaviors.

Despite the introduction of limits on the sulfur content of marine fuels, the contribution of maritime transport to PM 2.5 emissions is estimated to have increased by 45% in the Mediterranean Sea over the period 2006 to 2020.

In France, the contribution of maritime transport to air pollution appears to be low if we consider conventional emission inventories approaches. On the other hand, this pollution is localized, especially in port areas where ships perform regular maneuvers.
