Hydrocal

Structure And Dynamics Of Hydrothermal Systems In Polar Volcanic Calderas

HYDROCAL project aims at characterizing the structure and dynamics of hydrothermal systems in polar and sub-polar active volcanic calderas, evaluating any particularities due to their location at higher-latitudes and under extreme climate conditions. As case studies, we propose Deception Island (Antarctica) and Torfajökull (Iceland) calderas in order to stablish similarities and differences among both examples to provide, at the end, a full conceptual and evolutionary model of caldera-hosted hydrothermal systems in polar and sub-polar areas. Obtained results will be compared to the most documented and well-known active caldera hosting an hydrothermal system and located in a temperate climate: Campi Flegrei (Italy).

NEOCLIM

Reconstruction of neoglacial climate variability in the polar North Atlantic

NEOCLIM is the project of the coordinated proposal NEOARCTIC that seeks to characterize the role of the main modes of climate variability that have modulated the Arctic climate of the North Atlantic for the last 4,000 years. The objective is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the main predominant climate conditions that have ruled the advances and retreats of the glaciers present on WGreenland and N Iceland coasts during these last 4,000 years. This knowledge will serve as a conceptual framework to determine if the present retreat of both Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) and Iceland glaciers due to the present temperature rise has a geological equivalent or not.

IMAGYN

High-resolution imaging of the crustal-scale structure of the Central Pyrenees and role of Variscan inheritance on its geodynamic evolution

The objective of the IMAGYN project is to obtain a high resolution image of the cortical structure of the Central Pyrenees and to analyze the role played by the previous variscan structures and the heterogeneity of their materials from the petrophysical point of view in the geodynamic evolution of the orogen.

BrineRIS

Brines of RIS countries as a source of CRM and energy supply

Limited access to critical raw materials (CRM) is the main obstacle to developing the high-tech and battery sectors. However, thanks to the striking development of efficient soluble elements recovery technologies, highly mineralised water (brine) is a potential unconventional source of metals. Usually occurring at great depths, under conditions of high pressure and hot temperatures, brines mineralised up to 300-350 g/L may contain economic concentrations of metallic elements, such as CRM from the EU 2021 list (Li, Mg, Sr), Na, Ba and others. Therefore, exploring non-obvious metals resources (such as geothermal brines) and innovative metals recovery technologies is necessary to ensure a sustainable and secure European supply of battery metals. It also supports European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) vision “to secure access to critical and strategic raw materials, advanced materials, and processing know-how for EU Industrial Ecosystems”.
