Satellite data processing algorithms developed by ICM-CSIC have played a crucial role in detecting this significant shift in the Southern Hemisphere, which could accelerate the effects of climate change.

The “OdM Climate 2024” initiative, launched by the ICM through the citizen science platform Observadores del Mar, has revealed an increase in warm-water species along the Spanish coast, among other effects linked to global warming.

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.
