This will take place as part of the Arctic Century Expedition, which will last more than a month and has been jointly organised by the Russian Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI), the Swiss Polar Institute (SPI) and the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel (GEOMAR).

The research team aims to understand and predict how the Costa Brava beaches will change in the coming decades.

A new study led by the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM) and the CREAF highlights the effects of fishing on the dynamics of fish populations and, therefore, on fisheries.

Previous studies had pointed to other tectonic sources, although these did not explain either the magnitude of the earthquake or the dimensions of the subsequent tsunami.

The work, in which researchers from the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM) have participated, links genetic data to cell images to better study these bacterial and archaeal groups.

A new study led by researchers at the ICM has revealed that the environment likely influenced the evolution of bacterial predators in the ocean, which are essential for nutrient recycling.
