Prix Stars of Europe

ARISE received the trophy “Stars of Europe”

ARISE received the trophy “Stars of Europe” (launching horizon2020 website) from the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, which recognizes teams of researchers for their European commitment in the coordination of European projects. The winners are selected by a high-level jury based on the following criteria: the quality of scientific production, the creation of value (direct economic and technological benefits in the form of new products, services and technologies, and indirect benefits), the societal dimension of the project but also, the multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity of the project, or even the number of women involved in the project, its contribution to the training of young people, and to the creation of jobs, the opening up to the international, the leading role played by the French teams in the project.

book cover

Le Pichon A. , Blanc E., Hauchecorne A. (Eds.), 2019,
Infrasound Monitoring for Atmospheric Studies:
Challenges in Middle Atmosphere Dynamics and Societal Benefits, Springer Nature, ISBN 978-3-319-75140-5, 1167 pp.

Since the publication of the first volume “Infrasound monitoring for atmospheric studies” published in 2010, significant advances were achieved in the fields of engineering, propagation modelling, and atmospheric remote sensing methods. The global infrasound network, which consists of the International Monitoring Network (IMS) for nuclear test ban verification completed by an increasing number of regional cluster arrays deployed around the globe, has evidenced an unprecedented potential for detecting, locating and characterizing various natural and man-made sources. In recent years, infrasound has evolved into a broad interdisciplinary field encompassing academic disciplines of geophysics and innovative technical and scientific developments. The advances in innovative ground-based instruments, including infrasound inversions for continuous observations of the stratosphere and mesosphere, provide useful insights into the geophysical source phenomenology and atmospheric processes involved. Systematic investigations into low-frequency infrasound signals and the development of complementary observational platforms point out new insights into the dynamics of the middle atmosphere which play a significant role in both tropospheric weather and climate. This monitoring system also provides continuous relevant information about natural hazards with high societal benefits, like on-going volcanic eruptions, surface earthquakes, meteorites or severe weather. With this new edition, researchers and students benefit from a comprehensive content of both fundamental and applied inter-disciplinary topics.disciplines of geophysics and innovative technical and scientific developments.

ARISE related sessions at EGU

(2012 to 2020)

A session dedicated to “Infrasound, acoustic-gravity waves, and atmospheric dynamics” ad partly to the ARISE project is organized at the EGU since the beginning of the project (2013). This session is now a double session attracting many scientists involved in the study of the middle atmosphere and infrasound monitoring for societal applications. ARISE splinter meetings are organized in parallel for project work.
