DryingLake addresses the problem of inland water desiccation, which is increasingly affecting ecosystems worldwide due to both climate change and the diversion of water for irrigation.
By combining satellite images, remote sensors, and field data, the project will provide effective tools to help managers and policymakers monitor and assess coastal carbon ecosystems and integrate blue carbon into national climate inventories and policies.
The Network’s main objective is to foster collaboration between national and international research groups to advise society and authorities on the key role of BCEs.
Aims to explore how regional topography and local changes in land and water use scale up to intercontinental dispersion, using metagenomics tools, high-performance computing, real-time satellite data monitoring, and atmospheric modeling.
The BlauCat project aims to assess the current status of blue carbon in Catalonia’s coastal ecosystems and contribute to the development of an action plan for their conservation and restoration, as a tool to support public policies for climate change mitigation and adaptation. The project will generate a homogeneous and georeferenced database on blue carbon stocks and fluxes at the regional scale, as well as an analysis of the restoration potential of these ecosystems.
Despite their remote location, high mountain aquatic spaces are subject to anthropogenic threats that put their conservation status at risk, such as the introduction of exotic species, overcrowding by tourists or hydraulic infrastructures.
AEROSMIC studies the functional traits present in the aerial microbiota with long-range dispersal in the free troposphere using one of the largest long-term data sets available at a high mountain point above the boundary layer collected by our own group of investigation.
The One Health PACT team focuses primarily on vector-borne diseases, primarily mosquitoes. With a comprehensive vision of this problem, the impact of climate change, water management, agricultural and livestock methods, and the importation of diseases through trade and tourism, on the probability of an outbreak, is investigated.
INTERACTOMA proposes computational approaches that exploit the co-occurrence of genes with known and unknown function and the environmental co-occurrence of different microbial species to generate hypotheses and prioritize future research objectives with ecological or biotechnological interest, using saline lakes and lakes as model systems. alpines, as well as the microbiome of animal and plant host species along climatic and geographic gradients.
The INOVEC project is dedicated to fostering collaborative research and driving innovation to improve surveillance and control of mosquito vectors that carry emerging arboviruses to Europe and beyond.
