Oceanography and climate change

Short Title 
OC2
Description 

OC2 objective is to provide well-anchored basic and integrated knowledge of the present-day oceanic processes at the regional scale, as well as to investigate their response to past global warm climate conditions.

Main

RESEARCH PLAN

Develop interdisciplinary and integrated projects aiming to:

Characterize different oceanic ecosystems and biodiversity to guarantee its sustainability and the good state of the marine environment;

Observe and monitor regional oceanic circulation (superficial, intermediate, bottom), and the coastal upwelling system, which has major implications for climate, primary productivity and related fisheries, ocean acidification, formation of bottom anoxic conditions;

Investigate marine archives of past climate to understand and characterize ocean-land-atmosphere interactions, and investigate the ocean reaction (circulation, primary productivity, biogeochemical cycles, ecosystem, biodiversity) to those conditions in past warming transitions, warm periods and rapid climate change. Information that is essential to identify potential changes for the near future;

Giulia will be doing her PhD at CCMAR where she will use sediment samples from the IODP Site U1387, collected in the Gulf of Cadiz and analyse them. Welcome to our team!
Our researchers were at the 14 th edition of the International Conference on Paleoceanography, where they expanded their networks and talked to potential collaborators.
During the Eurofleets+ SINES Expedition - led by CCMAR and IPMA - the scientific team collected, processed, stored and analysed samples from seawater, plankton and marine sediments.
Monica joined CCMAR and her main goal is to reconstruct spatial and temporal variations in sea surface temperature, paleoproductivity, and biodiversity in the mid-latitudinal North Atlantic during the Early Pleistocene (1.5-1.2...
