ASTARTE geophysical campaigns aim to collect the necessary information for the assessment, strategy and risk reduction for Tsunamis in Europe.
TAGUSDELTA geophysical campaigns aim to collect the necessary information to elaborate the high resolution 3D seismic stratigraphy of the Tagus Delta.
This project aims to characterize the evolution of the coastline during the Quaternary and discern what were the contributions to this evolution: 1) neotectonic, 2) eustatic variations and 3) sedimentary transport.
Notifications concerning marine casualties and marine incidents occurring in the Portuguese territorial waters and in internal waters and with Portuguese flaged vessels in any part of the world.
Joint campaigns of the ERSTA and SANDEX projects, the ERSTA project is designed to study seismogenic and tsunamigenic bodies and to prepare a seismotectonic model for the Algarve region, the SANDEX project aims to evaluate the physical impact of sand and gravel extraction on the sedimentary balance and the evolution of the coastline.
Within Portugal's National Biological Sampling Project (PNAB) a set of activities are conducted in the collection, management and use of biological data, collected from the registered commercial fleet in mainland Portugal (fisheries-dependent data) and several research surveys (independent fisheries data). These activities allow the assessment of the state of fishery resources, population structure, distribution and abundance of resources, diversity and dynamics of biological communities associated with the fishery resources and biological studies (growth, reproduction).The spring acoustic surveys are usually held in April/May with the ship "Noruega" and cover the Portuguese continental waters and the Spanish waters of the Gulf of Cadiz, between 20 and 200m deep.
Geological Map of Portugal, at scale 1:200 000, composed of the sheets published at this scale (Sheets: 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8).

The ERSTA project intended to study the seismogenic and tsunamigenic bodies and prepare an sismotectonic model for the Algarve region. For this project, in this campaign, was intend to carry out a geophysical survey that will contribute to a more detailed characterization, in the offshore region, of São Marcos-Quarteira and Carcavai faults. The SANDEX project aims to evaluate the physical impact from the extraction of sand and gravel in the coastal sediment balance and evolution of the coastline. The campaign aims to collect bathymetric data that will contribute to monitoring of the impact caused by the exploitation of sand deposits carried off the Quarteira as well as for the assessment of sediment budget of the study area.
