The main objective of the Youth Tackling Climate Emergency Educational Proposal (YTCEEP) is to involve secondary students in addressing climate action‐related subjects from a local context and in a proactive way. We present an evaluation of its third edition, based on the answers from final surveys assessing knowledge, perceptions and attitudes. Ma...
Cold-Water Corals play a paramount role in marine benthic ecosystems, increasing their complexity and providing spawning and nursery habitats to many species. However, due to their sessile lifestyle and ramified shape they are commonly entangled in nets and even by-caught during the practice of bottom-contact fishing, which includes impacts from bo...
Knowing and understanding the ocean’s influence on us and our influence on the ocean is the essence of ocean literacy. It aims to train people to become “ocean-literate”, i.e. to be aware of the ocean and therefore capable of making informed and responsible decisions on marine resources and the sustainability of the ocean and, by extension, that of...
Se presentan tres propuestas prácticas que permiten relacionar el cambio climático y el océano con el objetivo de mejorar la comprensión global de los procesos y cambios del planeta. Se pretende abrir nuevas oportunidades para trabajar de manera experimental conceptos oceanográficos relacionados con el cambio climático.

Benthic communities depend on receiving much of their food from the water column. While sinking, particles are transformed in a discontinuous process and are temporally retained in transitional physical structures, which act as boundaries and contribute to their further transformation. Motile organisms are well-acquainted with boundaries. The numbe...
En els darrers anys s’ha fet evident el paper primordial dels organismes marins sèssils en els processos de transferència d’energia en els ecosistemes litorals i de plataforma. Molts dels coneguts com a suspensívors bentònics empren com a font alimentària la «fracció fina» de la matèria en suspensió o microplàncton, i això podria ser important per...
The deep sea is considered the largest environment on Earth, providing multiple ecosystem services to human societies. Although its relevance has long been recognized, not enough attention and interest is generally given to it by society, and its study is almost non-existent in formal and informal education. Getting the deep sea closer to the gener...
Exploration of the ocean is still one of the greatest challenges facing humankind. In the last decades our knowledge has increased considerably, thanks mainly to technological advances such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and manned underwater vehicles, as well as new acoustic techniques that allow us to see the sea floor on a computer screen...
La exploración del océano sigue siendo uno de los grandes retos de la humanidad. En las últimas décadas se ha avanzado mucho en su conocimiento, gracias sobre todo a adelantos tecnológicos como los vehículos operados remotamente (ROV) o los submarinos tripulados, además de técnicas acústicas que permiten visualizar el relieve del fondo marino en la...
En España existe una diversidad de figuras de protección ambiental, sirviendo a diferentes propósitos y adaptadas a contextos ecológicos diferentes. Los ejemplos de La Restinga y las Islas Medas- L´Estartit muestran cómo las estrategias de protección marina pueden adaptarse y orientarse hacia diversos fines más o menos relacionados con las activida...
The aragonitic skeletons of bathyal cold-water corals have a high potential as geochemical in situ archives for paleoceanography. Oxygen isotopes and stable carbon isotopes (δ18O and δ13C) have been analyzed, as well as trace and minor element compositions (e.g. Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca, U/Ca, B/Ca and P/Ca) in Lophelia pertusa, one of the most important frame...
The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) grew out of the
4th International Polar Year (IPY-4) 2007-08 and is an international
and interdisciplinary organization of over 1200 undergraduate and
graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, early faculty members,
educators and others with interests in Polar Regions and the wider
cryosph...
Phosphorus is a key macronutrient being strongly enriched in the deep ocean as a result of continuous export and remineralization of biomass from primary production. We show that phosphorus incorporated within the skeletons of the cosmopolitan cold-water coral Desmophyllum dianthus is directly proportional to the ambient seawater phosphorus concent...
Projecte de recerca elaborat a partir d’una estada a Alfred Wegener Institut für Polar und Meeresforschung, Alemanya, entre juliol i setembre de 2007. Les mostres biològiques usades per a la determinació d’isòtops estables de silici fins a l’actualitat han estat bàsicament provinents de diatomees, i poc se sap de la relació amb el silici que d’altr...
