Exploring Invisible Biodiversity in Pyrenean Lakes, Sentinels of Climate Change, Through High-Resolution Portable Genomics
This project by CREAF-CSIC, with the direct participation of researchers from CEAB-CSIC, aims to study cyanobacteria in high-mountain lakes and their environmental impact due to the recent increase in these organisms.
Headwater basins provide water supply, greenhouse gas regulation, and other essential ecosystem services. However, human activities have altered its functioning. This research project investigates how factors of anthropogenic origin alter the dynamics of headwater basins, especially their role in climate regulation.
Pharmaceutical micro-pollutants are chemicals used for human and animal health care that are found everywhere including in soil, water and sediment. This chemical contamination is usually associated with microbiological contamination (by microorganisms and/or their genetic material) from humans, animals and the environment.
I conduct my research in high-mountain aquatic environments. Specifically, I study the impact of invasive species, such as introduced fish, on invertebrate communities in lakes
Environmental scientist since 2018, I am currently in the final year of my PhD. In my thesis, I study the relationships between the carbon (C)
The BEYOND project, a MSCA Doctoral Network, will train the next generation of water professionals to tackle European water quality challenges in the context of climate change and emerging contaminants. Researchers will gain interdisciplinary skills, access to cutting-edge technologies, and expertise in water management to drive innovation and improve water quality.
The project proposes to study biodiversity resilience by tracking changes in lake communitycomposition over the last ca. 2.000 years in four Pyrenean lakes with contrasting history of stressors pressure.
