This project is being developed within the framework of an ICOOP grant (a CSIC Scientific Cooperation Program for Development), which aims to stimulate collaboration between CSIC research groups and international research groups in countries receiving Official Development Assistance through training, work, and specialization stays for research groups from participating entities.
Aquatic non-native species are spreading globally due to human activity, yet little is known about how these invasions occur and evolve. This pioneering project uses environmental DNA (eDNA) to study the phases of biological invasion in various aquatic ecosystems, aiming to better understand these processes and provide tools to tackle the biodiversity crisis.
The esGLEON project promotes Spain’s involvement in the global scientific network GLEON to study and mitigate the effects of climate change on lakes and reservoirs, by coordinating research teams, strengthening international leadership, and supporting sustainable water management policies.
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.
