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.
This project is being developed within the framework of an ICOOP grant (a CSIC Scientific Cooperation Program for Development), which aims to stimulate collaboration between CSIC research groups and international research groups in countries receiving Official Development Assistance through training, work, and specialization stays for research groups from participating entities.
A project that applies genetics to study biodiversity in marine ecosystems and detect invasive species.
Monitoring of marine biodiversity using environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques, early detection of exotic species with invasive potential, and other genomic applications that can be used for marine biodiversity conservation.
SponBIODIV’s main goal is to establish a sponge diversity and distribution baseline knowledge, as well as delivering tools to improve management and conservation of sponges across the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
The research project studies the role of sponges in the marine silicon cycle, with emphasis on silicon production and turnover, and exploring possible biotechnological applications.
Fractionation of silicon isotopes using sponges for biotechnology.
The Distributed System of Scientific Collections (DiSSCo) is a distributed research infrastructure (RI) working towards the digital unification of all European natural science assets under common conservation and access policies and practices to easily realize FAIR data.
Our proposal is a collaboration between all the CSIC Institutes that work in marine sciences and aims to develop a comprehensive scientific dissemination program about marine ecosystems, their importance, the threats they face and what we can do as citizens.
