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.
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 overall goal of NiD4OCEAN is to advance the emerging field of NiDs (and NBS in general) for offshore renewables, and provide effective, context-dependent solutions.
UNDAMMED will establish the foundations to anticipate the role of dam removal in the restoration of sedimentary, hydrological and carbon dynamics in river networks. After more than a century of intensive damming, most river networks in Europe are populated by a myriad of structures of varying size.
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.
Despite their remote location, high mountain aquatic spaces are subject to anthropogenic threats that put their conservation status at risk, such as the introduction of exotic species, overcrowding by tourists or hydraulic infrastructures.
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.
This research project aims to evaluate the role of lateral inflows and see which can be considered “hot spots” due to their great influence on the biogeochemical processes taking place in rivers.
How do water inputs from both tributaries and groundwater change the processes happening in the river? The research project investigates this question and aims to find the key contribution areas to define the processes of rivers in different biomes. It includes field work and controlled experimentation in the CEAB-CSIC infrastructure.
The aim of the RIPAMED project is to assess the role of Mediterranean riparian corridors as green N filters and to identify under which climatic conditions riparian soils act either as sources or sinks of nitrate and N2O.
