The goal of the Alter-C coordinated project is to understand how C sinks and sources in inland waters are affected by reductions in current and future conditions. Alter-C combines cutting-edge methodologies with an integrative perspective, including river networks, lakes, ponds and reservoirs.
The research is closely linked to the effects of global change and how it can erode the resilience of habitat engineers such as macroalgae. It seeks to propose conservation priorities and contribute to preventing and avoiding the collapse of marine ecosystems.
Research project to evaluate the effects of anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems, including the detection and monitoring of invasive species, the consequences of increasing temperatures and eutrophication, among others.
Evaluate the nitrogen retention capacity of rivers at different time scales and explore whether restoration with green infrastructure can significantly contribute to improving their self-purification capacity.
The development of effective strategies for the conservation of Cystoseira residual forests based on new tools to monitor them is of fundamental importance today. This project has been designed to provide these tools and assist environmental policy makers in the management of Cystoseira forests.
Investigating the effects of droughts on freshwater fish populations. The research project seeks to understand how individuals and groups of fish cope with severe droughts.
AEROSMIC studies the functional traits present in the aerial microbiota with long-range dispersal in the free troposphere using one of the largest long-term data sets available at a high mountain point above the boundary layer collected by our own group of investigation.
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.
MEDCHANGE will use long, detailed and reliable data of relevant structural and functional variables of ecosystems to reconstruct the dynamics of coastal and terrestrial ecosystems, at a Mediterranean scale, when interacting with natural and anthropogenic disturbances.
Per dotar els robots submarins de més autonomia i capacitats, aquest projecte busca millorar i potenciar les seves capacitats cognitives i intel·ligents durant l’exploració del fons marí. SIREC treballarà en primer lloc el mapeig de praderies marines de Posidonia oceànica, un component important dels ecosistemes vinculats al segrest de carboni i, per tant, de gran impacte ambiental i social.
