ClimaLAND Key Targets
➢ To identify the intervals of high-geomorphic impact during Holocene (geochronology of events, processes – climate correspondence)
➢ To estimate the evolution of the periglacial landforms in relation with climatic triggers (permafrost degradation, rock glacier chronology, rock falls activity)
➢ To investigate the relationship between landslide activity and climate triggers at a regional scale and throughout a long temporal profile, based on temporal clustering of dated landslides
➢ To elaborate scenarios of geomorphic hazards related to climate change for the Carpathians
➢ Recent and present-day response of landforms and shaping processes to establish accurate correlations with the evolution of specific climatic parameters
➢ Tracking the Danube Delta coast mobility and delta plain transformation (including flooding) during previous episodes with SLR after Black Sea reconnection to World Ocean
➢ Accurate determination of the present-day Danube Delta sedimentation and subsidence rates
➢ To find solutions for mitigation of flooding and erosion hazards and risks in Danube Delta

The European Economic Area (EEA) and Norway Grants represent the contribution of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway to reducing economic and social disparities in the European Economic Area and to strengthening bilateral relations with the 15 beneficiary countries in Eastern and Southern Europe and the Baltic states.
These financial mechanisms are based on the European Economic Area Agreement which reunites the EU member states and Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway as equal partners in the internal market.
In total, the three countries have provided €3.3 billion through consecutive grant schemes between 1994 and 2014. A further €2.8 billion has been made available in the 2014-2021 funding period. The EEA grants are jointly funded by all the three donors, while the Norway Grants are funded exclusively by Norway and are available in the 13 countries having joined the EU after 2003.
Funding is channelled through financing programmes, under specific priority sectors, while the areas, objectives and expected results are established with each beneficiary country.
