deteCtion and threAts of maRinE Heat waves (CAREHeat)

Prime company: CNR-INSTITUTE OF MARINE SCIENCES-ISMAR (IT)

Oceans are responsible for absorbing circa 90% of the Earth’s heat budget and 30% of the human-induced carbon emissions. While anthropogenic forcing (i.e., the rising of atmospheric CO2 concentration) is leading to the global warming of the climate system, the full disclosure of its role in all the physical processes involved in these changes still …

Biodiversity in the Open Ocean: Mapping, Monitoring and Modelling (BOOMS)

Prime company: Plymouth Marine Laboratory (GB)

Increasing pressure due to anthropogenic drivers is leading to a reduction of global biodiversity and its associated benefits at the planetary scale. In open ocean (seafloor depth greater than 200 m) the most important direct drivers of biodiversity loss is fishing and extraction of seafood, with a lesser but rapidly increasing importance of climate change, …
