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.
It proposes to develop an innovative and non-destructive method to quantify carbon stocks. This method will use advanced technologies such as geoacoustics, autonomous vehicles, drones, satellite imagery and artificial intelligence, also allowing the exploration of “hidden” carbon deposits under layers of sediment, which have so far been ignored.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
The esGLEON project promotes Spain’s involvement in the global scientific network GLEON to study and mitigate the effects of climate change on lakes and reservoirs, by coordinating research teams, strengthening international leadership, and supporting sustainable water management policies.
A project that applies genetics to study biodiversity in marine ecosystems and detect invasive species.
