EarthSafe: a unique approach
The inevitable transition to green technologies and renewable energy sources in a densely populated world will put tremendous pressure on our planet. EarthSafe aims at supporting the energy transition in Europe and beyond by creating transformational data-fusion platforms to inform and enhance global exploration frameworks for deep geothermal resources and critical minerals.
To fulfill these objectives, EarthSafe assembles a multi-disciplinary research and educational network that breaks ground in the way it integrates scientific disciplines for Earth imaging and exploration. It does so by working within a systems thinking framework, recognizing and exploiting key connections between seemingly detached research areas, and integrating them into new conceptual, theoretical and methodological innovations that move beyond discipline-specific approaches.
It is precisely this unique transdisciplinary philosophy that allows EarthSafe to offer innovative solutions to problems that otherwise would not be possible to tackle. The general approach of EarthSafe is also multi-dimensional in the sense that crucial social aspects, effective science communication, geoethics and engagement with the general public and regulatory authorities are formally addressed in conjunction with the many technical advances.
