Floods Reference Spatial Datasets reported under Floods Directive - version 2.0, Jul. 2024

The Floods Directive (FD) was adopted in 2007 (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:32007L0060). The purpose of the FD is to establish a framework for the assessment and management of flood risks, aiming at the reduction of the adverse consequences for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity associated with floods in the European Union. ‘Flood’ means the temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water. This shall include floods from rivers, mountain torrents, Mediterranean ephemeral water courses, and floods from the sea in coastal areas, and may exclude floods from sewerage systems. This reference spatial dataset, reported under the Floods Directive, includes the areas of potential significant flood risk (APSFR), as they were lastly reported by the Member States to the European Commission, and the Units of Management (UoM).

WISE WFD Reference Spatial Datasets reported under Water Framework Directive 2022 - INTERNAL VERSION - version 1.8, Mar 2025

The dataset contains information on the European river basin districts, the river basin district sub-units, the surface water bodies and the groundwater bodies delineated for the 3rd River Basin Management Plans (RBMP) under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) as well as the European monitoring sites used for the assessment of the status of the above mentioned surface water bodies and groundwater bodies. This data set is available only for internal use of the European Commission and the European Environment Agency. Please enter the publicly available version to access data: https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/catalogue/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/bce2c4e0-0dad-4c42-9ea8-a0b82607d451 The information was reported to the European Commission under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) reporting obligations. The dataset compiles the available spatial data related to the 3rd RBMPs due in 2022 (hereafter WFD2022). See http://rod.eionet.europa.eu/obligations/780 for further information on the WFD2022 spatial reporting. Note: * This dataset has been reported by the member states. The subsequent QC revealed some problems caused by self-intersections elements. Data in GPKG-format should be processed using QGIS.

EEA Reference grid

The grid is based on the recommendation at the 1st European Workshop on Reference Grids in 2003 and later INSPIRE geographical grid systems. For each country three vector polygon grid shape files, 1, 10 and 100 km, are available. The grids cover at least country borders - plus 15km buffer - and, where applicable, marine Exclusive Economic Zones v7.0 - plus 15km buffer - (www.vliz.be/vmdcdata/marbound). Note that the extent of the grid into the marine area does not reflect the extent of the territorial waters.

Population trend of bird species: datasets from Article 12, Birds Directive 2009/147/EC reporting (2013-2018) - INTERNAL VERSION - Oct. 2020

All EU Member States are requested to monitor birds listed in the Birds Directive (2009/147/EC) and send a report about the progress made with the implementation of the Directive every 6 years following an agreed format. The assessment of breeding population short-term trend at the level of country is here presented. The spatial dataset contains gridded birds distribution data (10 km grid cells) as reported by EU Member States for the 2013-2018 period. The dataset is aggregated by species code and country in the attribute CO_MS. By use of the aggregated attribute [CO_MS], the tabular data can be joined to the spatial data to obtain e.g. the EU population status and trend. This metadata refers to the INTERNAL dataset as it includes species flagged as sensitive by Member States. Therefore, its access is restricted to only internal use by EEA.

Schwerpunktprogramm (SPP) 1889: Regional Sea Level Change and Society (SeaLevel), Die morphologische Reaktion des Wattenmeeres auf den Klimawandel (MOREWACC)

Das Wattenmeer, das sich von Den Helder in den Niederlanden bis nach Skallingen in Dänemark erstreckt, ist ein Prototyp für eine durch den Meeresspiegelanstieg bedrohte Küstenregion. Über 50% des Wattenmeeres besteht aus Wattflächen, die nur während eines Teils des Gezeitenzyklus von Wasser bedeckt sind. Dadurch wird das einzigartige Küsten-Ökosystem des Wattenmeeres geformt, das aufgrund von Akkumulation von Sediment aus der Nordsee den Meeresspiegelanstieg der letzten Jahrhunderte überleben konnte. Angesichts der beobachteten Beschleunigung des Meeresspiegelanstieges stellt sich die Schlüsselfrage, bis zu welcher Rate des Meeresspiegelanstieges diese Sedimentakkumulation für das Überleben des ausreicht. Diese Frage ist hochkomplex, da die Sedimentflüsse in das Wattenmeer selbst von der Rate des Meeresspiegelanstieges sowie von anderen klimatischen Einflüssen und von der Sedimentverfügbarkeit in nicht-linearer Weise abhängen. Es ist bekannt, dass Netto-Sedimentflüsse durch von nicht-linearen Flachwassergezeiten und horizontalen Dichtegradienten (aufgrund von Niederschlag, Süßwasserabfluss und Oberflächen-Wärmeflüssen) bedingten Gezeitenasymmetrien angetrieben werden. Die Nichtlinearität der Gezeiten wiederum hängt vom Meeresspiegelanstieg selbst ab und die horizontalen Dichtegradienten variieren mit klimabedingten Änderungen von Verdunstung/Niederschlag und Abkühlung/Erwärmung. Weiterhin hängen Sedimentflüsse vom Windantrieb ab, der ebenfalls mit dem Klima variiert. Obwohl ein fundiertes Verständnis der zugrundeliegenden Sedimenttransportprozesse im Wattenmeer vorliegt, werden für Projektionen von morphologischen Veränderungen weiterhin einfache vertikal integrierte Modelle verwendet. Die Erkenntnisse, die aus solchen Modellen gewonnen werden, sind daher sehr eingeschränkt. Das wichtigste Ziel dieses Projektes ist daher, mögliche morphologische Reaktionen des Wattenmeeres auf einen beschleunigten Meeresspiegelanstieg und andere Aspekte des Klimawandels sowie Einflüsse von Sedimentverfügbarkeit mit Hilfe eines prozess-basierten Modells zu untersuchen. Dabei werden die wichtigsten Antriebe für Sedimenttransportprozesse in das Wattenmeer berücksichtigt. Zunächst sollen diese Modellsimulationen in systematischer Weise unter Nutzung verschiedener idealisierter Bathymetern durchgeführt werden, um die kritischsten Prozesse morphodynamischer Veränderungen zu erkennen. Mit Hilfe dieser Bathymeter können die Einflüsse des Meeresspiegelanstieges in Kombination mit anderen Einflussfaktoren (Niederschlag/Verdunstung, Abkühlung/Erwärmung, Wind-Wellenantrieb) untersucht werden. In einer zweiten Phase des SPP, unter der Annahme, dass die verfügbaren Computer Ressourcen weiter anwachsen, sollen solche Simulationen für realistische und komplexere Gezeitenbecken im Wattenmeer durchgeführt werden. In beiden Phasen des SPP soll die Dynamik von Salzwiesen explizit mit untersucht werden.
