When Geosciences tells us more about planet Earth

Many ERC projects in the Geosciences address key societal challenges. The projects presented in this
brochure are investigating the role of organic aerosols in climate change and air pollution, the long-term
management of forests in the preservation of the ecosystem, microscopic processes that govern the flow of
magma in volcanic eruptions, the development of a new 3 dimensional model of the Earth’s mantle or the
monitoring of the atmosphere through GPS for predicting tsunamis.
