Deep Sea & Sub-Seafloor Frontier

The Deep-Sea and Sub-Seafloor Frontiers project (DS3 F) provides a pathway towards sustainable management of oceanic resources on a European scale. It will develop subseafloor sampling strategies for enhanced understanding of deep-sea and subseafloor processes by connecting marine research in life and geosciences, climate and environmental change, with socio-economic issues and policy building. A long-term research approach will be established covering: (i) sustainable ocean management, particularly the deep sea, with enhanced exploitation (fishery, hydrocarbon exploration), (ii) the necessity to unravel the deep-seated geological processes that drive seafloor ecosystems, and (iii) release of the potential of seabed archives for paleo-environmental reconstruction and improved prediction of future climate change
