The Flemish contribution to the European Marine Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC-ERIC) Ghent University
EMBRC-ERIC, or the European Marine Biological Resource Centre, is a distributed European Research Infrastructure Cluster, which provides and supports large scale and high quality marine science in Europe. It was established to bring together the distributed infrastructures and HR in European marine research groups to answer Europe's challenges related to food, health and global change. With 9 members (Belgium, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, ...

Impact of climate induced glacier melt on marine coastal systems in the West Antarctic Peninsula region (IMCOAST) Ghent University
The objective is to combine physico-hydrographical, geochemical and biological proxies to reconstruct and model past, ongoing and future system changes due to sediment run-off in the Antarctic coastal area. The project mainly aims to assess and model the effects of sedimentation on Antarctic coastal species/communities. These effects will be studied by in-situ sampling, as well as in field and laboratory experiments.
Coastal defense systems based on the ‘Building with Nature’ principles: interdisciplinary project on coastal and ecology engineering and marine biology. Ghent University
Salt marsh and seagrass meadow ecosystems with high ecological and economical values play an important role in dissipating energy from waves and currents. In this research we develop a pioneering 3D numerical and analytical model validated using experiments from the new state-of-the-art wave &
current tank and seawater flume in GreenBridge, to achieve new insights in the waves-currentvegetation interaction.
Assessing the biological capacity for marine ecosystem resilience: Acclimation and adaptation in a rapidly changing environment Ghent University
Global change alters marine ecosystems and the services they provide. Whether these services are at risk depends on the resilience of organisms, populations and communities. We use a tight interplay of laboratory experiments and simulation modeling to unravel the potential of marine organisms and communities to acclimate, adapt and/or disperse, and to retain ecological functioning under realistic future ocean scenarios.
