Today we interview Ferran Estrada i Llàcer, member of the ICM Continental Margins group. Throughout his career, the researcher has delved into different aspects related to tectonics, basin formation and turbidie systems. He has also been involved in palaeoclimatic projects and in others about convulsive events, such as tsunamis and mega-floods. 

The intense growth of microscopic algae that are part of the marine plankton leads to changes in the colour of the water.

The ICM researcher Antonio Turiel has participated in several projects on energy transition models and his blog “The Oil Crash”, with more than 13 million visits, is a reference in Spanish on the subject.

The muds that slowly settle to the seafloor are archives that preserve a lot of information about the evolution of the climate and oceans over time.

We interview the ICM researcher Eva Calvo to know what the water chemistry tells us about the oceans of the past and which has been her contribution to the TRANSMOW campaign, an expedition that circled last month the Iberian Peninsul.

Did you know that there are also submarine canyons? And that these structures are not only found on Earth, but also on other planets? Their evolution depends on climatic conditions and, in the sea, their study begins with the analysis of bathymetric data.
