Projects
Inspired to Integrate: Filtering Nature's Diversity for Nature-friendly Implementations (Nature4Nature). University of Antwerp
Interdisciplinary Modelling of Climate Change in Coastal Western Antarctica ‒ Network for Staff Exchange and Training Ghent University
The proposed European-US and South American network IMCONet will advance climate and (eco- ) system change research at the Western Antartic Peninsula (WAP), a region of recent rapid aerial warming. WAP glaciers contribute to global sea level rise, and functioning and services of coastal ecosystems are massively threatened by the fast regional warming. Data sets from recent interdisciplinary European-South American field work within ...
BELAM Belgian Antarctic Meteorites: Curation and Research Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Estimation of brominated flame retardants concentration in biota from extreme regions, such as High Andes Lakes and Argentinean Antarctic Archipelago. University of Antwerp
Coastal ecosystem carbon balance in times of rapid glacier melt Ghent University
Climate change and intensifying human resource use are causing massive changes to Subantarctic coastal systems and carbon cycling. At the same time, these systems house benthic communities of highest biomass and biodiversity, which sustain important ecosystem services and require strategic observation and management plans. Although they are just beginning to be appreciated by scientists and public, natural (climate mitigation) and cultural ...
Improving the flow in the pipeline of the next generation of marine biodiscovery scientists KU Leuven
MarPipe is a consortium of 11 partners (IBP-CNR, SZN, UiT, UNIABDN, GEOMAR, KULeuven, UCC, eCOAST, MEDINA, MicroDish, Italbiotec) based in 8 countries (I, N, UK, D, B, IRL, E, NL), including 3 from the non-academic sector. We will train 11 ESRs in marine drug-discovery, providing these researchers with unique skills toward becoming world leaders in this research field and to advance their careers in academia or industry. MarPipe PhDs will be ...
