EOSS intends to serve as an umbrella, under which various sea-level activities
can be coordinated. The developments in the field of monitoring technology, as
well as the requirements for research and management, urge for an integrated
implementation of technology in sea-level monitoring, and for further
international agreements on data storage and exchange.
The most important outcome of EOSS is expected to be an "organism" that
guarantees and coordinates the long-term monitoring activities and data exchange
along the entire European coastline.
The main objectives for this Action can be subdivided in aspects concerning
the technology of sea-level monitoring, and aspects concerning the management
and research activities that can benefit from improved monitoring capabilities.
The main technological aspects are:
To achieve these objectives, the work is divided into five workpackages. For information on these workpackages, or for information on the project management, please follow the links below:
