We investigate the responses of cyclic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) processes in Mediterranean river networks and evaluate the role of preferential lateral inputs as biogeochemical hot spots.
Assessment of the role of preferential lateral inflows as biogeochemical hotspots along Mediterranean river networks (HOTSPOT)
HOTSPOT
This research project aims to evaluate the role of lateral inflows and see which can be considered "hot spots" due to their great influence on the biogeochemical processes taking place in rivers.

BREATHE develops a global, sensor-based system to monitor river health through dissolved oxygen and river metabolism, linking ecosystem functions to services such as climate regulation and water purification.
Aquatic non-native species are spreading globally due to human activity, yet little is known about how these invasions occur and evolve. This pioneering project uses environmental DNA (eDNA) to study the phases of biological invasion in various aquatic ecosystems, aiming to better understand these processes and provide tools to tackle the biodiversity crisis.
The esGLEON project promotes Spain’s involvement in the global scientific network GLEON to study and mitigate the effects of climate change on lakes and reservoirs, by coordinating research teams, strengthening international leadership, and supporting sustainable water management policies.
The new Blue Carbon Ecosystems Research Network in Spain brings together experts from across the country to promote the conservation of saltmarshes and seagrass meadows. Its goal is to generate knowledge, advise authorities, and foster policies and projects that harness the potential of BCEs to fight climate change and support sustainability.
