ACVASUB
Modeling of the heavy metals impact on aquifers by complex study of groundwater fauna and monitoring in GRID, MODEL-ACVASUB system.
At both national and European level, the use of groundwater increases continuously especially due to climate change and the considerable limitation in drinking water sources. The protection of aquifers became one of the priority objectives in the European politics at both national and European level.

Sedimentary deposits from caves (sediments, calcite formations i.e. speleothems, fossil remains) are some of the most valuable archives which include various proxies that bear paleoclimatic and paleogeographic significance.
Within the very stable microclimate typical for deep-cave settings, and in the absence of the erosional agents that act at ground’s surface, cave deposits are preserving valuable records such as the isotopic signal of Oxygen, which may reflect the regional variations of temperature etc.

Epikarst represents the ecotone between surface ecosystems and deep karst. Is the unsaturated zone which started to be studied in the last years and which harbours the highest concentration of fauna in karst masifs.
Being near the surface, organic matter and pollutants enter rapidly and can sedimentate in this zone, but it can act also as a buffer-zone. The study of epikarst is possible through sampling of dripping water and its fauna inside caves.

The goal of the present project is to set up and to validate DGT/DET methodologies in order to be utilized as techniques for a continuous and long-term monitoring of the migration through the geosphere of those elements which correspond to the radionuclides that are specific to the weak and medium active waste which shall be stored for an unlimited time-period in the repository to be built at Saligny.
Developing and evaluating, by means of laboratory experiments, the DGT methodology for the considered analytes, by using synthetic water samples whose characteristics are similar to those of the groundwater in the Saligny FRWMAW area

Using DGT/DET for in situ and laboratory determinations on groundwater samples collected from the saturated zone, from the soil layer porewater, and from profiles characteristic to the unsaturated zone, with special concern for the organic complexation of the elements and for the part that particulates play in their transfer;

The purpose of the MIGRELEMENT project is to understand and model the migration processes in geospheres of those elements whose radionuclides are specific to the wastes produced by the CANDU nuclear reactors, essential components of the hydrogeochemical characterization of the location of the future weak waste deposit and Active medium Saligny, aimed at ensuring its long-term radiological safety.
Elaboration of the complete hydrogeodynamic model of Saligny's final low and medium waste disposal site based on the correlation of groundwater chemistry data with the mineralogy of the geological structure and the values of the local hydrological, climatic and pedological parameters.

The project aims to identify the factors that influence the presence of opilion species in the epigeus and cavernicol environment. Thus, the factors that mediate the colonization of the underground environment by opillions will be identified.
Identify the habitat characteristics useful for predicting the occurrence of harvestmen species in caves and the epigean environment.

Evaluate the intensity of fluctuating assymetry as an indicator of habitat quality in the cave habitats as compared to epigean habitats with different intensity of human impact. Differences in fluctuating assymetry at different sites could be interpreted as an indication of responses to habitat suitability.

Predicting the magnitude and effects of future global warming is crucial for the development of adaptation tools meant to reduce the impact of environmental change on society. The economic importance of predicting this impact is associated, among others, to energy production and consumption
Modifications of rainfall patterns can disturb the output of hydropower plants, while modifications produced by aerosols in the quantity of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface can impact the productivity of photovoltaic and solar thermal installations.
