Submerse
Submerse unites infrastructure providers and researchers in a joint research project. The primary aim of the project is to utilize seabed internet cables as sensors for detecting ocean movements.
The project installs measuring instruments at selected locations along the cables to collect data of interest to various research fields, such as physical oceanography, marine biology and seismology.
A particular challenge of this kind of data collection is the need for rapid publication of large amounts of data to researchers, for example in areas such as tsunami warning systems. At the same time, data must be filtered for potentially sensitive information, such as military applications, and appropriate storage methods must be established. This knowledge of new technologies benefits Danish researchers and is of interest to institutions such as GEUS (Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland), as well as the geoscience departments at Aarhus University and the University of Copenhagen.
DeiC leads the Data Lifecycle task and prepares Horizon Europe's required Data Management Plans (DMPs). DeiC also coordinates data management between the technical and research-related tasks and collaborates with the Ethics and Security task. In addition to this, the project promotes collaboration between DeiC and Nordic and European research network providers.
The SUBMERSE project, which started on May 1, 2023 and ends on April 30, 2026, is funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe program.
