Caribbean Active SeismoTectonics: Shedding light on the seismic and tsunami hazards – CAST
Strike-slip faults are thought to create lower magnitude earthquakes and smaller tsunamis, if at all, compared to subduction zones. However, strike-slip faults have recently produced tsunamis larger t
On the Spatial and Temporal Evolution of On- vs Off-fault Deformation – SaTellite
As global population drastically rises, so too does the risk posed to humankind by destructive earthquake rupturing faults. Understanding how, why, and when active faults rupture the Earth’s crust is
Linking the Energetic Return-On-Investment to microbial decomposition of organic soil amendments – LEROI
Soils are key regulators of the global carbon (C) cycle. Organic amendments of soils are considered suitable to sequester C belowground and contribute to climate change mitigation. With the evolution
Towards Catalyzed Assembly – ToCatA
The next-generation advanced materials will require innovative approaches to materials synthesis. A very promising paradigm is the self-assembly of building blocks with precisely programmed specific i
Freezing Stability of Soft Particles – FROST
Cryopreservation, the preservation of living cells by freezing them, is the single available strategy to extend the lifespan of living cells and tissues, a central requisite to activities spanning fro
Self-Immolative Polymers for NIR- and UV-responsive Materials – SIPONIUM
Stimuli-responsive polymers have gained increasing interest in many domains; the ability to change their physicochemical properties, due to a stimulus, makes them relevant materials for several applic
Identification of aging-like mechanisms regulating neurogenesis in depression – NeuAgeDep
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the single largest contributor to disability worldwide, affecting as many as 300 million people annually, and about one third of all patients do not respond sufficie
How environment and experience alter hippocampal CA2 function – BadBoredom
While the ability to form and recall memories is essential for survival, it is also key to forming relationships with others and defines our sense of self. The hippocampus has long been recognized as
Linking NANOstructure and macroscopic properties of bitumen to improve their recyclability and ageing: towards a sustainable development of ROAD materials – NANOROAD
Bitumen is a complex viscoelastic compound sensitive to its environment. Upon ageing on roads its viscosity increases and its chemical composition is significantly modified. As a consequence, the incl
