IHCantabria makes progress in land use monitoring in coastal areas
For the first time, land use was mapped in coastal areas of Sicily. The results are a first step towards understanding how socioeconomic development influences land use dynamics in these areas.
EUNICE launches four new online courses on Marine Ecosystem Conservation
These self-paced open courses can be taken until 31 January. This initiative is fruit of the collaboration with IHCantabria.
IHCantabria attended in Panama the closing ceremony of a project that has analyzed the risk of climate change in the Gulf of Montijo
This institute has contributed to the analysis of climate risks associated with marine dynamics and their impacts due to sea level rise, and has formulated climate change adaptation measures for the Gulf of Montijo, Panama.
IHCantabria contributed to the development of an important study on the disappearance of flat oyster reefs in Europe
Their results provide a solid basis for actions to restore oyster habitats and improve the health of coastal ecosystems in the context of nature-based solutions, which is a key focus of the LIFE AdaptaBlues project.
IHCantabria collaborates in the underwater archaeological research project and in situ conservation of the wreck ‘Almiranta’.
It will offer predictions of tidal currents through numerical modeling, to support archaeological dives of the ‘Almiranta’ wreck in the bay of Santoña, in addition to developing an application to promote safe and educational dives oriented to blue tourism.
