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.
Existing research on coastal blue carbon focuses primarily on carbon sequestration as plant biomass, while the mechanisms that control MOD export and the processes that transform dissolved organic matter (DOM) and recalcitrantly sequester it ( MODR) are largely little known.
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.
Change in ecosystems occurs over multiple temporal and spatial scales. Discriminating between actual changes, cycles and trends is often difficult or impossible without an adequate temporal perspective, since multiple processes interact at multiple temporal and spatial scales.
The overall goal of the MOBVEC project is to create technology that is the first line of defense against disease vectors, helps prevent and combat disease outbreaks, and helps save lives.
Outbreaks of infectious diseases are increasing due to multiple changes in local and global interactions that alter the fragile balance of the complex human-animal-environment ecosystem. The increased frequency and complexity of health threats require a different and unified way of preparedness and a coordinated, rapid, reliable and effective emergency response.
E4Warning is an holistic approach to improve our understanding of the interplay between humans, mosquitoes, reservoir species and the environment for a better disease intelligence capable of anticipating and identifying mosquito-borne diseases epidemic risk and outbreaks.
The INOVEC project is dedicated to fostering collaborative research and driving innovation to improve surveillance and control of mosquito vectors that carry emerging arboviruses to Europe and beyond.
The project will use a socioecological conceptual framework, which will comprehensively evaluate the influence that livestock management dynamics have on herbaceous plant and butterfly communities, which are excellent bioindicators of the conservation status of mountain ecosystems.
MEDCHANGE will use long, detailed and reliable data of relevant structural and functional variables of ecosystems to reconstruct the dynamics of coastal and terrestrial ecosystems, at a Mediterranean scale, when interacting with natural and anthropogenic disturbances.
