BREAK
Francois Renard
Break-Through Rocks
Project duration: 2022-2026
Grant agreement ID: 101019628
Call ID: ERC-2020-ADG
BREAK will investigate whether the deformation in Earth’s crust localises onto faults that may, either rupture rapidly producing earthquakes, or undergo slow aseismic slip. Specifically, it will provide the first quantitative laboratory observations of the full displacement field in rocks before and during fault slip and separate the aseismic and seismic components of it.

Disequilibirum metamorphism of stressed lithosphere
Project duration: 2015-2021
Grant agreement ID: 669972
Call ID: ERC-ADG-2014
The overarching goal of the project is to provide the first quantitative physics-based model of disequilibrium metamorphism that properly connects fluid-rock interactions at the micro and nano-meter scale to lithosphere scale stresses.
FEEC-A
Ragnar Winther
Finite Element Exterior Calculus and Applications
Project duration: 2014-2019
Grant agreement ID: 339643
Call ID: ERC-2013-ADG
The present project will be devoted to further development of the foundations of FEEC (finite element exterior calculus), and to direct or indirect use of FEEC in specific applications.

Global Glacier Mass Continuity
Project duration: 2013-2019
Grant agreement ID: 320816
Call ID: ERC-2012-ADG
The project will derive and analyse glacier thickness changes using satellite laser and radar altimetry, and satellite-derived and other digital elevation models, enabling several major steps forward in glacier and Earth science.

The medieval plagues: ecology, transmission modalities and routes of the infections
Project duration: 2013-2018
Grant agreement ID: 324249
Call ID: ERC-2012-ADG
The results of this project will not only settle century-old controversies by giving us valuable information about the past, but also furnish a paradigm for understanding the modality of serious plague epidemics in Europe; past, present, and future

Physics of the Solar Chromosphere
Project duration: 2012-2016
Grant agreement ID: 291058
Call ID: ERC-2011-ADG
CHROMPHYS aims at a breakthrough in our understanding of the solar chromosphere by combining the development of sophisticated radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulations with observations from the upcoming NASA SMEX mission Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS).

Ab-initio adiabatic-connection curves for density-functional analysis and construction
Project duration: 2011-2016
Grant agreement ID: 267683
Call ID: ERC-2010-AdG
This project proposes a new approach to density-functional analysis and construction, which will be particularly important in cases where little experimental information is available - for understanding and modelling the behaviour of the exchange correlation functional in electromagnetic fields.
