Name
Towards the Sustainable Development of the Atlantic Ocean: Mapping and Assessing the present and future status of Atlantic marine ecosystems under the influence of climate change and exploitation
Acronym
MISSION ATLANTIC
Description @en
The “mission” of Mission Atlantic is to investigate how multiple pressures within and across important sub-areas affect the resilience of the Atlantic Ocean to future climate and societal changes. The project will tackle this question by advancing knowledge on ecosystem processes as well as applying new observation technology and state-of-the-art predictive capacity to develop an operational regional and basin-scale Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA).
Description @nl
Mission Atlantic wil het gecumuleerd effect van verschillende stressoren op de Atlanticsche Oceaan onderzoeken. Dit project zal een geïntegreerd ecosysteem assessment opzetten voor verschillende subregios van de Atlantische Oceaan, gebruik maken van bestaande data en nieuwe observatie technologieën. VLIZ is verantwoordelijk voor het databeheer.
Start date
2020-9
