Cross-border project to detect and monitor non-indigenous marine species in Catalonia and Occitanie, enhancing scientific cooperation, citizen participation, and management of impacts on ecosystems and coastal economies.
DryingLake addresses the problem of inland water desiccation, which is increasingly affecting ecosystems worldwide due to both climate change and the diversion of water for irrigation.
By combining satellite images, remote sensors, and field data, the project will provide effective tools to help managers and policymakers monitor and assess coastal carbon ecosystems and integrate blue carbon into national climate inventories and policies.
The Network's main objective is to foster collaboration between national and international research groups to advise society and authorities on the key role of BCEs.
It proposes to develop an innovative and non-destructive method to quantify carbon stocks. This method will use advanced technologies such as geoacoustics, autonomous vehicles, drones, satellite imagery and artificial intelligence, also allowing the exploration of “hidden” carbon deposits under layers of sediment, which have so far been ignored.
