Field surveys & Trainings

Demonstration of innovative instrumentation, data handling and numerical modeling tools will be presented on two Black sea sites- Varna, Bulgaria and Batumi, Georgia.

Each demonstration consist of 2 week trainings including:
-Deployment of the measurement equipment on research vessel platform;
-Preliminary testing and calibration of measurement devices;
-Real-time measurements in marine environment;
-Transfer of data to a land based station (in parallel to recording in data loggers);
-Web-based visualization (in real time);
-Providing input for numerical models;

External researchers and other stakeholders will be invited to participate. Please contact us for more details.

TIMMOD activities at a glance

Group Activity T1

Inventory and promotion of innovative environmental monitoring technologies for assessment of fish stock and non fish living resources. This activity aims at the elaboration of an Inventory of Innovative water monitoring technologies for monitoring of chemical, physical and biological parameters, and assessment of living resources.

Group Activity T2

Assessment and recommendation on advanced hydro-environmental numerical tools for data handling, real-time control and forecasting of marine conditions in the Black Sea. The main aim is to broaden the focus of traditional data processing and numerical modelling approaches by taking into account the holistic perspective in the analysis.

Group Activity T3

Pilot demonstration project on innovative monitoring using advance methods and instruments. Selecting innovative instrumentation, data handling and numerical modelling tools that are going to be demonstrated in two sea areas/test sites in Varna and Batumi.

Group Activity T4

Innovation Strategy to improve joint monitoring, data sharing and cross border information exchange systems in compliance with Marine Strategy Framework Directive and Data Collection Framework. This activity aims to develop common Strategy for supporting the implementation of modern technological upgrade in joint environmental monitoring, in service of the cross border cooperation and data sharing systems.

TIMMOD activities are in full swing. Please contact us to follow TIMMOD activities progress in detail, as well as if you wish to receive latest technical reports elaborated by the project team.
