Assessment of the role of preferential lateral inflows as biogeochemical hotspots along Mediterranean river networks (HOTSPOT)

HOTSPOT

la-investigadora-anna-lupon-fent-treball-de-camp
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.

We investigate the responses of cyclic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) processes in Mediterranean river networks and evaluate the role of preferential lateral inputs as biogeochemical hot spots.

An innovative initiative that brings together science, art, music, literature, and new technologies (augmented reality). Its primary objective is to increase knowledge and understanding regarding the impacts of the climate emergency on freshwater ecosystems, while highlighting female voices across three key areas: research, vulnerability, and agents of change.
Within the framework of the Monitoring and Control Programme (PSiC) of the Catalan Water Agency (ACA), an agency of the Government of Catalonia.

The main objective of the project is to expand basic knowledge regarding the biology and ecology of this species and its population in Menorca (Balearic Islands).
Its aim is to define Catalonia’s marine restoration strategy through a rigorous assessment of the condition of marine habitats, the identification of pressures and threats, and the establishment of realistic and measurable objectives, as well as the implementation of pilot restoration projects.
