International research involving the ICM-CSIC highlights how integrating climate data into ocean planning can boost global adaptation.

A pioneering study in which the ICM-CSIC has participated reveals how the northward shift of the subtropical jet stream — a very fast, high-altitude airflow — has reduced phytoplankton production, the basis of marine life, in the northwestern Mediterranean by up to 40%.

Research led by ICM-CSIC paves the way for more efficient and sustainable industrial production systems, including wastewater treatment and green biomass generation.

A collaborative international study with participation of the ICM-CSIC uses innovative machine learning models to reduce uncertainty in climate projections and reshape our understanding of ocean-atmosphere sulfur cycling.

The Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) actively contributes to three of CSIC’s strategic networks to tackle global ocean challenges, further reinforcing its leadership in marine research.

This is the main conclusion of a new study published in the journal Sustainability, which defines these infrastructures as key tools for collecting environmental data and developing public policies based on scientific evidence.
