WP1 - Environmental monitoring(RED)

Objectives

Objective 1.1

Diagnose and propose essential observation platforms that, based on the existing ones and completed with the use and development of new ones, integrate different tools and technologies that allow the monitoring of the marine ecosystem.

  • Action 1.5: Integrated Marine Data Platform
  • Task 1.1.1: Monitoring of unique betonic biocenoses
  • Task 1.1.2: Monitoring of environmental variables for the characterization of conservation status
  • Task 1.1.3: Wind estimation from EMAs and UAVs observations using machine learning application.
  • Task 1.1.4: Proposal for an integral marine observatory in Oliva-Denia-Javea for biodiversity conservation, global change observation and promotion of the blue economy.
    • In charge: UA4

Objective 1.2

To develop, validate and implement a multi- and interdisciplinary set of tools and/or technologies to significantly improve marine ecosystem monitoring and surveillance, proposing new mechanisms for monitoring the marine environment, strengthening the resilience of marine ecosystems and favoring the creation of surveillance networks and monitoring, restoration and bioremediation services for impacted ecosystems.

  • Action 1.9: trategies to strengthen the resilience of marine ecosystems.
  • Task 1.2.1: Development of physical sensors for measuring environmental variables and sensor nodes and communication protocols.
  • Task 1.2.2: Creation of models of spatio-temporal changes in beaches.
  • Task 1.2.3: Concentration and treatment of emerging contaminants in contaminated water by membrane processes (Nanofiltration).
    • In charge: UV4
    • Participants: UCV1
  • Tarea 1.2.4: Development of low-energy, low-background electron detectors to measure the accumulation of 45Ca radiotracer in different marine species in controlled ecosystems.
  • Tarea 1.2.5: Study of electrolytic methods in seawater, using mains current and photovoltaic panels.
    • In charge: UA2
  • Tarea 1.2.6: Design of an unmanned aerial vehicle for atmospheric observation.
  • Tarea 1.2.8: Geophysical studies in the proximal platform area.
    • In charge: UA6

Objective 1.3

Establish a network of continuous coastal monitoring stations and conduct ad hoc research campaigns. Monitor a broad set of physical, chemical, biological and ecosystem variables and various indicators. Conduct experimental research on key species/habitats and control of invasive alien species.

  • Action 1.10: Implementation of a coordinated in-situ coastal monitoring service.
  • Task 1.3.1: Proposal for a plan to monitor and improve marine planning and management.
  • Task 1.3.2: Development of a network of automatic meteorological stations (EMAs)
  • Task 1.3.3: Consolidation and coordination of a permanent and stable long-term monitoring network of climate change indicators.
    • In charge: UA8
    • Participants: UCV1
  • Task 1.3.4: Development of a database and artificial intelligence.
