Date Time TRANSMOW campaign to analyse circulation of Mediterranean outflow waters with new geochemical tracers The campaign will start at the harbour of Barcelona on April 28, in the oceanographic research vesselHespérides. TRANSMOW will study the Mediterranean outflow waters towards the Atlantic Ocean. The campaign will apply the analysis of innovative chemical tracers (isotopes of neodymium and rare-earth elements). The new methodology will be used thanks to the dual support infrastructure for research LIRA and PANTHALASSA. Finding the signature of past climate transitions in the Mediterranean using the analysis of innovative geochemical tracers –specifically, isotopes of neodymium and rare-earth distribution– is the objective of the oceanographic campaign TRANSMOW, led by the experts Leopoldo Pena and Jaime Frigola, members of the consolidated Research Group on Marine Geosciences of the Faculty of Earth Sciences of the UB. ....
University of Barcelona Posidonia oceanica seagrass an endemic marine phanerogam with an important ecological role in the marine environment can take and remove plastic materials that have been left at the sea, according to a study published in the journal Scientific Reports. The article s first author is the tenure-track 2 lecturer Anna Sànchez-Vidal, from the Research Group on Marine Geosciences of the Faculty of Earth Sciences of the University of Barcelona (UB). The study describes for the first time the outstanding role of the Posidonia as a filter and trap for plastics in the coastal areas, and it is a pioneer in the description of a natural mechanism to take and remove these materials from the sea. Other authors of the study are the experts Miquel Canals, William P. de Haan, and Marta Veny, from the Research Group on Marine Geosciences at UB, and Javier Romero, from the Faculty of Biology and the Biodiversity Research Institute (IRBio) at UB. ....
Seagrass Helps to Eliminate Plastics from Coastal Areas A new study has reported that Posidonia oceanica seagrass a kind of endemic marine phanerogam that plays a crucial ecological role in the marine environment can trap and eliminate plastic materials abandoned at the sea. This natural mechanism could trap about 867 million plastic per year in coastal areas. Image Credit: Jordi Regàs. The first author of the study, which was published in the Scientific Reports journal, is the tenure-track 2 lecturer Anna Sànchez-Vidal, who is part of the Research Group on Marine Geosciences of the Faculty of Earth Sciences of the University of Barcelona (UB). ....
