RAMONES collaborates with SANTORY in the field

The first close monitoring of the active submarine volcano Kolumbo, north of Santorini island, was achieved! A total of three oceanographic cruises were performed as part of our sister research project SANTORY with main objective to deploy various innovative instruments near the seabed inside the underwater volcano Kolumbo. The active hydrothermal vent system of Kolumbo (vents at...

RAMONES in SEGH 2023 Conference

RAMONES EU is present in the SEGH2023 – 38th International Conference on Geochemistry and Health! On day 3 the Session 3 continued with more innovative data collection methods, from field sampling to Artificial Intelligence. Our team member Konstantina Pyrgaki eagerly presented our poster entitled “Fusing marine radioactivity mapping and geochemical data using state-of-the-art GIS technology“!...

Our new “superweapon” is ready for marine exploration

We are happy to announce the arrival to IST premises of the Slocum glider that we will be using for the RAMONES project. Rated to dive up to 1000 m deep, this vehicle is extremely efficient for long term deployments at sea. The RAMONES partners will add to this vehicle new sensors and acoustic modems...

RAMONES and NODSSUM: a collaboration for the oceans

Article by RAMONES partner, Prof. Javier Escartín A project to investigate the fate of radioactive waste dumped in the North-East Atlantic abyssal plains is the focus of a CNRS Journal article (https://lejournal.cnrs.fr/articles/atlantique-sur-la-piste-des-futs-radioactifs). NODSSUM plans to deploy a new deep-sea AUV developed by IFREMER (France), Ulyx, and that will be part of the French Oceanographic Fleet,...

Detecting radioactivity in the environment: new sensors, new opportunities

Ever since the discovery of radioactivity by Henri Becquerel in the late 19th century, understanding radioactivity has relied heavily on the use of new technology for its detection and measurement. Studying the properties of radioactivity over the years revealed an elusive subatomic world escaping our human senses and laying the foundation to formulate quantum mechanics....

10 years since Fukushima: a timely launch of RAMONES

Ten years have passed since the earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku. At exactly 14:46 JST on 11 March 2011, a magnitude 9.0–9.1 undersea megathrust earthquake with an epicenter east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tōhoku generated a powerful tsunami that swept the east coasts of Japan. The tsunami hit the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear...
