Research Group on Limnology - Limnologia

Description

This group has a recognised prestige for the numerous quality works it has carried out in inland aquatic ecosystems and for the new researchers that have been trained. The following are some of the basic and applied research topics carried out by this group.

Basic research in:

  1. Specific richness and dynamics of populations and communities of aquatic organisms: bacteria, phytoplankton, periphyton, zooplankton, acoto- and zoo-benthos and fish, and their controlling factors.
  2. Dynamics and functioning of aquatic ecosystems: biogeochemical cycles, productivity, microbial processes.
  3. Study of aquatic food webs, their structure, key species and vulnerability to global change.
  4. Community coupling: mechanisms and rules.
  5. Biogeochemistry of carbon in aquatic ecosystems, GHGs and climate change.
  6. Molecular ecology.
  7. Paleolimnology and global change.
  8. Polar zone limnology.
  9. Pancrustacean genomics.
  10. Ecotoxicology.
  11. Remote-sensing.

Applied research in:

  1. Aquatic pollution and eutrophication processes.
  2. Physico-chemical and microbiological water quality.
  3. Characterisation of aquatic ecosystems.
  4. Monitoring and assessment of the environmental and conservation status of aquactic ecosystems.
  5. Management and restoration of aquatic ecosystems.
  6. Assessment of the response of aquatic ecosystems to global changes, including chemical pollution.
  7. Ecosystem management applied to climate change mitigation.
  8. Water purification and naturalisation in artificial wetlands.
  9. Bioremediation.
  10. Alien invasive species in inland waters.
  11. Remote-sensing as a tool for the study of environmental quality and ecological status of inland waters.

    Fundamental and applied limnology: Dynamics and functioning of epicontinental aquatic ecosystems. Community structure and functional diversity. Assessment of environmental and conservation status. Microbial ecology in lentic ecosystems: Study of the composition and functionality of the microbial community by molecular techniques. Metagenomics. Metabarcoding and e-DNA Biogeochemistry and carbon balances in Mediterranean wetlands, fluxes of carbonate greenhouse gases. Effects of environmental properties and conservation status on the climate change mitigation capacity of lentic ecosystems. Ecotoxicology. Geographic information systems (GIS). Remote-sensing. Polar limnology.

  • Biogeography and ecology of aquatic systems

    Analysis of the spatial distribution of aquatic organisms in relation to the environment and dispersal processes.

  • Genomics of aquatic arthropods

    Evolutionary and functional genomics.

  • Remote-sensing as a tool for the study of water quality and environmental status of inland waters

    Use of remote, satellite or airborne sensors to measure the values of environmental variables related to the environmental properties, quality and ecological status of inland aquatic ecosystems.
