According to the work, developed by the ICM and the IDAEA, not only did the gas injection produce overpressure, but also a buoyancy force of the gas, which caused the Amposta fault to move.

Experts from the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM) and other European institutions suggest that the ideal growth temperature for this toxic microalga of tropical origin will occur earlier in spring and persist into autumn.

The main objective of this project is to restore the seabed of the continental shelf of Cap de Creus (Girona), located between 60 and 90 meters deep.

A new study by the IEO, the SOCIB and the ICM shows that the temperature of the Western Mediterranean has been increasing at an accelerated rate since the mid-1990s.

A series of devices will be deployed to measure different oceanographic variables at a depth of between 2 and 4 kilometres at seven locations between 34 and 19ºS along the 10ºW meridian.

A literature review carried out by ICM and ICTA-UAB highlights that, due to the impact of microbes from coastal aquifers on the sea, it is essential to have a good knowledge of the microbial diversity hidden within these ecosystems and their function.
