InventWater will form a new generation of professionals capable of uniting fields with data science, climate, hydrology and water ecology, and who develop the necessary capabilities to translate the knowledge and technical innovations into useful products for the managers.
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.
Naiads or large freshwater bivalves (Mollusca, Bivalvia, Unionoidea) are currently considered one of the most endangered animal groups on the planet. The NÀIADES project aims to generate the knowledge necessary to prepare the recovery plan for this group of animals in Catalonia.
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.
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.
Our group explores the influence of endogenous population processes and exogenous stochastic forces that drive wildlife population dynamics. We use an empirical approach by monitoring individual and population data in the field to study the behavior of populations at spatial and temporal scales.
Theoretical study of ecological and evolutionary systems from an interdisciplinary and dynamic perspective, which integrates the biology and physics of these systems, using mathematical analysis and modeling, and computational simulation as main tools.
