Geostud participated in the second General Assembly of the DANSER project (Danube Sediment Network for Environment and Rivers), coordinated by the National Institute for Research and Development "Danube Delta" (INCDDD) and funded by the Horizon Europe program, in line with the European mission "Restore our Oceans and Waters by 2030." The project brings together international partners from the fields of education, research, engineering, environmental protection, and public policy, with the aim of restoring the natural balance of the Danube River and its ecosystems.
The workshop facilitated the presentation of interim results and the planning of future activities for sustainable sediment management in the Danube basin. Discussions during the working sessions focused on:
- restoring sedimentary balance in the Danube river system, which is essential for maintaining biodiversity and habitat functioning;
- improving water quality, an essential indicator for ecosystem health and sustainable uses;
- adapting to climate change and reducing anthropogenic pressures on aquatic environments through monitoring, modeling, and appropriate technical solutions.
Geostud contributes to the implementation of the project by identifying the causes and effects of sedimentary changes on riparian ecosystems, using its expertise in environmental monitoring, natural risk assessment, and the development of solutions for infrastructure with low environmental impact. The company's participation supports the integration of the technical perspective into a transnational and coordinated approach to the project.
DANSER continues with technical stages and data exchanges between partners, serving as an example of European cooperation. The planned activities will contribute to strengthening a solid scientific basis for the conservation and restoration of wetlands in the Danube Delta and for the sustainable management of the entire river basin.
