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.
By studying the relationship between rivers, aquifers, and terrestrial environments, ENEO3 examines how natural self-purification processes can help improve water quality. The project focuses on denitrification, a key biogeochemical process that converts nitrates into nitrogen gas, thereby reducing water pollution caused by excess nitrogen.
The main objective of this research project is to co-develop digital twins for predicting water quantity and quality in the Ter and Tordera basins, including catchments, reservoirs and coastal areas, contributing to efficient water resource management, protecting ecosystems and maximising water security in a climate change context.
The project aims to design nature-based wastewater treatment solutions specifically adapted to high-mountain conditions.
The project provides tools to guide the management and restoration of P. oceanica, a key species that stabilises sediments, sequesters CO₂ and provides habitat for numerous species, but which is currently declining due to human impacts.
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.
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.
