Dear Colleagues,
this mail is to remind you that during the next EGU General Assembly, which will be held in Vienna from 17-22 April 2016, the three EC Supersite Projects and the GSNL-SAC proposed the joint session NH2.3/GMPV7.4/SM7.7 The European contribution to the GEO Supersite initiative (co-organized) (Convener: G. Puglisi and Co-Conveners: F. Sigmundsson, S. Salvi and N.M. Ozel) (for details: http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/session/20305).

I would like to encourage you to contribute with a presentation to this session, which this year has been opened to the whole Supersite initiative.
It follows the description of the session.
Giuseppe Puglisi
The
GEO Supersite initiative started in 2007 with the Frascati declaration,
in which the Geohazard community recommended to stimulate an
international effort to focus on the monitoring and study of selected
reference sites, to provide according to GEO principles, open access to
relevant datasets, and to foster collaboration between the scientific
community and end users. Since then, the GEO Geohazard Supersite
initiative (GSNL) promoted investigations of volcanic and earthquake
hazards at selected ‘Super sites’ providing access to space-borne and
ground-based geophysical data.
Following
a call in 2011, the European Union (EU) gave a significant contribution
to the implementation of the Supersite initiative by promoting and
funding three projects, MARSITE, FUTURVOLC and MED-SUV, for the study of
four European Supersites: the Marmara Sea fault zone, in Turkey; the
Icelandic volcanic zone, and Mt. Etna and Vesuvius/Campi Flegrei
volcanoes, in Italy, respectively.
Aside
addressing scientific questions specific of each of the four areas, the
three projects cooperate to provide an integrated and robust European
contribution to the Supersite initiative via the EPOS-IP project. In
particular, the three projects aimed at contributing on relevant issues
such as: data management (data collections, storing, sharing, and data
policy); implementation of an European e-infrastructure; monitoring and
modelling of ground deformations and seismic activity, and hazard
evaluation and assessment in collaboration with the decision-maker
agencies.
As
the three projects are coming to an end, this EGU 2016 Supersite
session welcomes contributions based on their final results, including
those achieved from activities transversal to the projects. The session
will also welcome contributions regarding new Supersite proposals, as
well as other initiatives aimed at implementing the Supersite vision in
Europe and worldwide.
