Wastewater in High Mountain Areas: Impact on Microbial Communities and Strategies for Its Mitigation (RAMi)
The project aims to design nature-based wastewater treatment solutions specifically adapted to high-mountain conditions.
The project aims to design nature-based wastewater treatment solutions specifically adapted to high-mountain conditions.
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.
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.
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.
Evaluation of the potential ecological and social impacts of offshore wind farms in areas of high biodiversity and great landscape value of the Spanish Mediterranean, taking as a case study the wind farm proposed in the area of Cap de Creus/Gulf of Roses, to contribute to avoid or minimize the impacts of offshore wind on marine biodiversity and the landscape.
Naiads or large freshwater bivalves (Mollusca, Bivalvia, Unionoidea) are currently considered one of the most endangered animal groups on the planet. The NÀIADES project aims to generate the knowledge necessary to prepare the recovery plan for this group of animals in Catalonia.
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.
