The campaign, in which the ICM, the UTM and the UB are involved, will study the geochemical signal of the waters that are formed in the Mediterranean and exported to the Atlantic through the Strait of Gibraltar to assess their sensitivity to climatic oscillations.

The aim of this citizen science initiative is to promote conservation and raise public awareness of the marine ecosystem.

According to the work, developed by the ICM and the IDAEA, not only did the gas injection produce overpressure, but also a buoyancy force of the gas, which caused the Amposta fault to move.

Experts from the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM) and other European institutions suggest that the ideal growth temperature for this toxic microalga of tropical origin will occur earlier in spring and persist into autumn.

The main objective of this project is to restore the seabed of the continental shelf of Cap de Creus (Girona), located between 60 and 90 meters deep.

A new study by the IEO, the SOCIB and the ICM shows that the temperature of the Western Mediterranean has been increasing at an accelerated rate since the mid-1990s.
