The new Blue Carbon Ecosystems Research Network in Spain brings together experts from across the country to promote the conservation of saltmarshes and seagrass meadows. Its goal is to generate knowledge, advise authorities, and foster policies and projects that harness the potential of BCEs to fight climate change and support sustainability.
Development and application of artificial intelligence tools to optimize the speed of response to alerts sent by citizens through the Mosquito Alert platform.
The expansion of Ae. albopictus in the Iberian Peninsula and the arrival of Ae. aegypti to the Canary Islands have increased the risk of serious outbreaks of dengue, chikungunya or Zika in Spain.
The One Health PACT team focuses primarily on vector-borne diseases, primarily mosquitoes. With a comprehensive vision of this problem, the impact of climate change, water management, agricultural and livestock methods, and the importation of diseases through trade and tourism, on the probability of an outbreak, is investigated.
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.
The project, with an explicitly interdisciplinary vocation, seeks, first of all, to document the role of storms as agents of change for Mediterranean coastal vegetation, both emerged and submerged (underwater meadows, marsh vegetation and dunes).
