Researchers have begun a new €5 million EU-funded project that will allow fibre optic cable lines under our roads, fields, and seas to double up as sensors that spot earthquakes and infrastructure damage, monitor traffic, and detect changes.
New research from scientists at Trinity College Dublin strongly implies that heatwaves have a major influence on the spread of many diseases - and that many existing predictive models have overlooked this complexity.
New research examining whether forests can mitigate flood risk suggests they may offer less protection against major events than had been hoped.
Experts at Trinity College Dublin are leading the Connecting Nature project, an effort to integrate nature-based solutions into urban infrastructure. Nature-based solutions can help to address challenges such as climate change and the increasing incidence of natural disasters.
Low-cost sensors will be deployed across Dublin to monitor rainfall, weather conditions and river levels, and communicate data wirelessly to Dublin City Council’s operations team, which will analyse water levels and take appropriate action.
Voluntary Commitments
The organization has no registered commitments.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
