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.
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.
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.
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.
The project consists of creating a Versatile Observatory of Emerging Infectious Diseases (VEO) that makes it possible to bring together high-quality information from which to develop early warning tools. The Observatory will monitor emerging infectious diseases, as well as the emergence of bacterial resistance, in order to carry out a risk assessment.
PRORISK’s vision is to provide exceptional value by creating an innovative platform to train a network of early stage researchers (ESR) in the field of Environmental Risk Assessment (WAS).
INTERACTOMA proposes computational approaches that exploit the co-occurrence of genes with known and unknown function and the environmental co-occurrence of different microbial species to generate hypotheses and prioritize future research objectives with ecological or biotechnological interest, using saline lakes and lakes as model systems. alpines, as well as the microbiome of animal and plant host species along climatic and geographic gradients.
TEMPOINVASIONS will use the most advanced molecular tools to analyze sedimentary sequences from well-preserved sites along the Spanish coast (Bay of Cádiz, Cabo de Gata, Ebro Delta). We will focus on the last six centuries since the major translocation of marine species began due to the beginning of transoceanic exploration.
With the MARGECH research project we want to generate massive data on marine biodiversity through sequencing of DNA extensions (metabarcoding) to monitor global change and develop biosafety tools.
