Waterbase - Biology, 2024

Waterbase serves as the EEA’s central database for managing and disseminating data regarding the status and quality of Europe's rivers, lakes, groundwater bodies, transitional, coastal, and marine waters. It also includes information on the quantity of Europe’s water resources and the emissions from point and diffuse sources of pollution into surface waters. Specifically, Waterbase - Biology focuses on biology data from rivers, lakes, transitional and coastal waters collected annually through the Water Information System for Europe (WISE) – State of Environment (SoE) reporting framework. The data are expected to be collected within monitoring programs defined under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and used in the classification of the ecological status or potential of rivers, lakes, transitional and coastal water bodies. These datasets provide harmonised, quality-assured biological monitoring data reported by EEA member and cooperating countries, as Ecological Quality Ratios (EQRs) from all surface water categories (rivers, lakes, transitional and coastal waters).

Waterbase - UWWTD: Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive – reported data

The Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban waste water and the treatment and discharge of waste water from certain industrial sectors. The objective of the Directive is to protect the environment from the adverse effects of the above mentioned waste water discharges. This series contains time series of spatial and tabular data covering Agglomerations, Discharge Points, and Treatment Plants.

WISE Water Framework Directive Database

The WISE Water Framework Directive database contains data from the River Basin Management Plans reported by EU Members States, Iceland, Norway and the United Kingdom according to article 13 of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). The database includes information about surface water bodies (number and size, water body category, ecological status or potential, chemical status, significant pressures and impacts, and exemptions) and about groundwater bodies (number and size, quantitative status, chemical status, significant pressures and impacts, and exemptions). The information is presented by country, river basin district (RBD) and river basin district sub-unit (where applicable).

Industrial Reporting under the Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU and European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 Ver 12.0 Mar. 2025 (Spatial data)

This metadata refers to the geospatial dataset representing the status of the EEA Industrial Reporting database as of 10 March 2025 (version 14). The release and emissions data cover the period 2007-2023 as result of the data reported under the E-PRTR facilities, 2017-2023 for IED installations and WI/co-WIs, and 2016-2023 for LCPs. These data are reported to EEA under Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) 2010/75/EU Commission Implementing Decision 2018/1135 and the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 Commission Implementing Decision 2019/1741. The dataset brings together data formerly reported separately under E-PRTR Regulation Art.7 and under IED Art.72. Additional reporting requirements under the IED are also included.

Member States' use of revenues from the auctioning of EU ETS allowances, 2020-2024

This metadata overs the dataset containing information on how EU Member States spend the revenues from auctioning EU ETS emission allowances in one calendar year. More information on the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) can be found here. The revenues from the auctioning of these allowances represent an increasing income source for Member States. This data is being collected under Article 19 of the Governance Regulation. The Regulation’s aim is to help the EU reach its 2030 climate and energy targets by setting common rules for planning, reporting and monitoring. The Regulation also ensures that EU planning and reporting are synchronised with the ambition cycles under the Paris Agreement. Reporting is mandatory for EU Member States. Some information is only mandatory to report if the data is available.

Abschätzung des Beitrags des Ozeans zum Massenverlust Grönländischer periphärer Gletscher – ein skalenübergreifender Ansatz

Grönland beheimatet, abgesehen von seinem großen Eisschild, eine Vielzahl von weitaus kleineren peripheren Gletschern. Der Anteil dieser Gletscher am gesamten Eismassenverlust Grönlands geht weit über den Anteil hinaus, den diese Gletscher an der gesamten Eismasse und –fläche einnehmen. Da sie sich meist in gebirgigem Gelände entlang der Küsten befinden, erfordern numerische Modelle dieser Eismassen geeignete räumliche Auflösungen, die nicht von Eisschildmodellen erreicht werden können. Kalbende Gletscher tragen in besonderem Maße zum Gesamtmassenverlust bei. Über den Zeitraum 2003-2008 trugen die peripheren Gletscher 14% zum grönlandweiten Eismassenverlust bei. Ihr Beitrag zum Meeresspiegelanstieg wird Prognosen zufolge in Zukunft weiter ansteigen, wobei aktuell verfügbare Projektionen unter Annahme einer Klimaentwicklung entlang des RCP 8.5 einen Eismassenverlust von bis zu ~50% im 21. Jahrhundert vorhersagen. Es existiert eine deutliche regionale Variabilität, die eine komplexe Kombination von atmosphärischen und ozeanischen Antriebsmechanismen widerspiegelt. Nichtsdestotrotz ist keines der aktuell verfügbaren regionalskaligen Gletschermodelle in der Lage, ozeanische Einflüsse auf die Frontalablation an den kalbenden Gletscherzungen explizit aufzulösen. Abgesehen von zwei Modellen wird Frontalablation sogar vollständig ignoriert. Folglich existieren auch bisher keinerlei Abschätzungen bezüglich der Mengen von Frontalablation an Grönlands peripheren Gletschern, weder für Vergangenheit, Gegenwart, noch Zukunft.Das Ziel des Projektes ist die Erstellung von CMIP6-basierten Projektionen der zukünftigen Entwicklung von Grönlands peripheren Gletschern im 21. Jahrhundert unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von kalbenden Gletschern. Wir werden sowohl Schmelzwasserabflüsse als auch Beiträge zum Meeresspiegelanstieg quantifizieren. Wir werden das Open Global Glacier Model (OGGM) dahingehend weiterentwickeln, dass es in seinem Frontalablationsmodul ozeanische Antriebsmechanismen berücksichtigt. Dies wird durch spezielle Downscaling-Routinen für Klima- und Ozeandaten unterstützt werden. Wir werden die Modelperformance von OGGM in Abhängigkeit von verschiedenen räumlichen Auflösungen der Antriebsdaten im Detail evaluieren, um herauszufinden, ob und inwieweit die Anwendung optimierter Skalenübergänge von der großen synoptischen hinunter auf die kleinere, lokale Skala der peripheren Gletscher dazu beiträgt, die Modelperformance zu steigern. Die Ergebnisse des Projektes werden ein gesteigertes Maß an Verständnis bezüglich der atmosphärischen und ozeanischen Einflüsse auf die Entwicklung der peripheren Gletscher Grönlands liefern. Weiterhin werden wird Empfehlungen bezüglich der optimalen Komplexität zukünftiger, regionalskaliger Gletschermodellierungen abgeben und dabei besonders kalbende Gletscher berücksichtigen.

Natural ocean alkalinization through erosion of glacial till and weathering at the seafloor: coastal cliff

Climate change-driven deglaciation and erosion in high-latitude regions enhance the flux of terrigenous material to the coastal ocean. Newly exposed land surfaces left behind by retreating glaciers are covered by glacial till, which is rich in fine-grained minerals. Many of these minerals are undersaturated in seawater and thus prone to dissolution (i.e., seafloor weathering). Consequently, intensified erosion and mineral weathering may act as an additional CO₂ sink while supplying alkalinity to coastal waters. To evaluate this hypothesis, we carried out a sediment geochemical study in the southwestern Baltic Sea, where coastal erosion of glacial till is the dominant source of terrigenous material to offshore depocenters. We analyzed glacial till from coastal cliffs, sediments, and pore waters for major element composition using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy and an elemental analyzer. Water samples were further analyzed for dissolved redox species and dissolved silica by photometry and ion chromatography. These data were then used to quantify mineral dissolution and precipitation processes and to assess their net effect on inorganic carbon cycling.
