The BEYOND project, a MSCA Doctoral Network, will train the next generation of water professionals to tackle European water quality challenges in the context of climate change and emerging contaminants. Researchers will gain interdisciplinary skills, access to cutting-edge technologies, and expertise in water management to drive innovation and improve water quality.
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.
In a context in which prolonged periods of drought are becoming more frequent, the intoDBP project takes on special importance for its innovative approach to water management. The project aims to improve water quality and minimize exposure to harmful disinfection byproducts.
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.
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.
