Reports about Europe's environmentReports published by EEA (Theme: all, Audience: all, Sorted on: publish date)Testing of indicators for the marine and coastal environment in Europe. Part 1: Eutrophication and integrated coastal zone management- December 18, 2002 The development of coastal indicators by EEA in the period 1998-2001 is described in this report, the first of three volumes. It explains the process and results of a study of potential state and pressure indicators for eutrophication. The report also describes the development of, and information gathering for, a response indicator measuring progress in integrated coastal zone management at subnational (regional) level. The report's primary aim is to test indicators for EEA reporting and not to.http://reports.eea.europa.eu/technical_report_2002_84 Corine land cover update 2000: Technical guidelines- December 17, 2002 This report has been prepared for those interested in updating the Corine land cover database. The document describes the methodological steps to be followed in developing an update in a consistent and harmonised way to ensure comparability among results across Europe.http://reports.eea.europa.eu/technical_report_2002_89 Nature conservation Annual topic update 2000- December 12, 2002 The work of the European Topic Centre for Nature Conservation between 1995 and 2000 is presented in this report. The topic centre's main activities were support to the European Commission and Member States on the EU Birds and Habitats Directives, contributions to EEA reporting and development of EUNIS (European Nature Information System database on selected species, habitat types and sites).http://reports.eea.europa.eu/topic_report_2002_3 Annual European Community CLRTAP emission inventory 1990-2000- December 12, 2002 Data on emissions of air pollutants in the European Community from 1990-2000 are presented in this report. The emissions data cover acidifying pollutants, ozone precursor substances and other air pollutants: SOx (sulphur oxides), NOX (nitrogen oxides), NH3 (ammonia), NMVOCs (non-methane volatile organic compounds), CO (carbon monoxide), heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants. The report serves as the EC's annual submission to the UNECE Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air...http://reports.eea.europa.eu/technical_report_2002_91 Remote sensing's contribution to evaluating eutrophication in marine and coastal waters- December 12, 2002 The aim of this report is to examine whether estimates of the plant pigment chlorophyll-a from satellite data can support the evaluation of eutrophication in European marine and coastal waters. Satellite images are a good indicator of the occurrence of algal blooms in relation to eutrophication but overestimate true chlorophyll-a concentrations in open sea areas by 60-70% and even more in coastal waters. The report recommends using chlorophyll-a images from March to AprilMay as an indicator of..http://reports.eea.europa.eu/technical_report_2002_79 Development of common tools and an information infrastructure for the shared European environment information system- December 12, 2002 The elements of a new data collection network called Reportnet are described in this report, which reflects a shared concern among the major stakeholders that European environmental reporting needs to be revised. The elements described consist of developing of an environmental information infrastructure and a set of new services based on it, aimed at streamlining reporting as well as making it less burdensome.http://reports.eea.europa.eu/technical_report_2002_83 Greenhouse gas emission trends and projections in Europe- December 4, 2002 The actual and projected progress (by 2010) of the EU and candidate countries towards reaching their targets under the Kyoto Protocol, based on national programmes, are assessed in this report. It shows which countries are on track, the sectors that are contributing most, the effectiveness of existing policies and measures, and whether additional policies and measures might be required. The report supports the European Commission's annual evaluation report under the EU greenhouse gas monitoring.http://reports.eea.europa.eu/report_2002_1205_091750 Greenhouse gas emission trends and projections in Europe- December 4, 2002 The actual and projected progress (by 2010) of the EU and candidate countries towards reaching their targets under the Kyoto Protocol, based on national programmes, are assessed in this report.
