![]() The Permian-Triassic transition is of general interest since it witnessed the most devastating mass extinction in the Phanerozoic (Erwin, 1994 Hallam and Wignall, 1997). mineral dissolution during weathering and/or diagenesis), complete destruction of the compositional signature is unlikely (Caracciolo, 2020, Caracciolo et al., 2020 Chew et al, 2020). While post-depositional overprinting can destroy pristine, compositionally diagnostic signatures (e.g. Detrital provenance signatures are possibly the most reliable tool in deep-time research as they faithfully record the provenance of source lithologies. Key information relevant to the reconstruction of ancient SRS can be extracted from mineralogy and compositional signatures of sediments. how different lithologies react to weathering and sediment production) are commonly overlooked or oversimplified, hence, the calculation of sediment flux in deep-time is often imprecise. Tectonic and climatic forcings perturbate the steady state of geological landscapes which in turn adapt to the increase/decrease of erosion rates, water discharge, sediment flux, downstream sedimentfining, and sediment partitioning. Two of the biggest challenges in sedimentary geology are (i) the identification of tectonic and climatic perturbations – particularly in relation to down-system propagation in both modern deep-time sedimentary systems, and (ii) the reconstruction of paleo-sediment fluxes in ancient Sediment Routing Systems (SRS) (Caracciolo, 2020). ![]() The DALIA project will contribute directly to the establishment of EU and UN initiatives, related to the further execution on the Water Framework Directive by the execution of innovative actions across a variety of geographies, their scaling and the multiplication of outcomes with a wider network of ecosystems and related EU Missions and project actions throughout framework. The project also provides options for strategies and policies that concern freshwater ecosystem protection and ecosystem connectivity in the DRB and improved protection of local communities and ecosystems from extreme events and pollution threats. The project brings to DRB integrated DALIA tool, which will be integrated into DAnube Mission Hub for better decision making to improve DRB restoration of fresh and transitional water ecosystems. The project DALIA (Danube Region Water Lighthouse Action) is comprised of 22 expert organizations – including universities, authorities, SMEs and NGOs – from 8 different Danube EU and Associated countries accumulating an outstanding set of knowledge, covering not only the basin geographically but all different fields of expertise necessary to deal with the multidisciplinary issues from source to sea. ![]() To properly manage this complex and fragile ecosystem we must think of a river basin and harmonize our actions from the Black Forest to the Black Sea. The river also has an important economic utilization supporting SMEs, and creating jobs for locals as well as having a cultural importance. The Danube River is an artery of the ecosystems of the whole DRB and the region with significant environmental impact. As the Danube River Management Plan indicates the majority (52%) of all rivers do not meet the criteria of good chemical status, moreover all monitored indicators deteriorated. The Danube River Basin (DRB) host 79 million inhabitants.
