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.
It focuses on detailed taxonomic analysis and trophic-functional assessment of soft-bottom macrobenthos in various regions worldwide, with the aim of providing rigorous scientific advice to support the completion of environmental monitoring and impact management studies for projects.
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 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.
Given the recent detection of Perkinsus infecting mussels cultivated in the aquaculture area of the Ebro Delta and the lack of knowledge regarding its diversity, distribution, and ecology, this project aims to assess the epidemiological status of the disease Perkinsosis in the mussel aquaculture sector in Catalonia, in order to understand its potential impact.
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.
