The initiative seeks to develop new artificial intelligence models to analyse the microorganisms’ diversity and function in this river.

A new study by researchers of the ICM and the STRI alerts that the accumulation of nutrients and fertilisers could further deplete shallower waters of oxygen, leading to the death of many coral reef species, if conditions do not improve.

Data quality is key for developing scientific evidence-based environmental policies.

A new study led by the ICM has revealed new variables to be taken into account, such as fault morphology, in tsunami early warning systems.

The new methodology, which will help improve tsunami monitoring and warning systems, has been used to explain the unknown causes of the tsunami generated by the 1992 Nicaragua earthquake.

According to the research, carried out with the support of ISDIN and CaixaResearch of the "la Caixa" Foundation, the use of vinegar as a rinsing solution in first aid protocols can be harmful if it is not applied to the correct species.
