Our Spanish project ProOceans “Fostering the capacity of marine ecosystem models to PROject the cumulative effects of global change and plausible future OCEANS” starts with a kickoff meeting with all partners. We have three very interesting years ahead of us to learn about MEMs, statistical models and how to improve our capacity to project changes […]
We presented the results of 4 years of projects on small pelagic fish at the first SIMERPE – Iberian Symposium on Modeling and Assessment of Fishery Resources (“Simposio Ibérico de Modelado y Evaluación de Recursos Pesqueros”) We are very grateful for this opportunity, full of interesting discussions about achievements and challenges to evaluate marine resources […]
Our projects about small pelagic fish have produced very interesting results during the last 4 years. We have summarized them in three infographics (made by Amparo Hidalgo): You can download them from here We presented them last week at the University of Girona during a very informative workshop organized by Jordi Viñas and Marta Muñoz […]
Today our PELWEB project formally arrives to an end. The amazing team of PELWEB was worked a lot during three years and a half to advance on our understanding of the Mediterranean pelagic ecosystem and, particularly, on anchovy and sardine dynamics. We just published an outreach text about important outcomes in The Conversation, check it […]
During the kickoff meeting of the new PROCLIAS “Process-based models for climate impact attribution across sectors” Cost Action exciting ideas and activities for the next 4 years are presented and discussed. Keynotes and general sessions are available online.
A new Ecosystem Modelling Course, organized by the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada), just started online! The course is open for UBC graduate students with interest in quantitative modelling, as well as for some upper-level UBC undergraduate students. Because of the Covid-19 situation, UBC does not allow on-campus classes for the coming semester, therefore […]
MarCons Final Conference We participated in the final conference of MarCons, coordinating Panel 1. Assessing multiple threats to marine biodiversity The panelists’ presentations and the Slido poll results are now available online on our website. During the conference, the following publication was mentioned, which is actually a number of recommendations for advancing marine conservation in […]
MarCons COST Action on Advancing marine conservation in the European and contiguous seas is arriving to an end. During MarCons, lots of interesting activities and products regarding marine conservation have been developed: http://www.marcons-cost.eu/ And…we are starting to work towards MarCons II Stay tunned!
The 21st of April 2020 we had our third and final project meeting of PELWEB (Winners, losers and shifts of pelagic food WEB changes in the western Mediterranean Sea: from ecosystem consequences to future projections). Due to COVID-19 meeting limitations, 15 members of PELWEB team met online and showcased the great work achieved during the […]
Organization of specialized course from 24th to 28th February 2020 about Qualitative Mathematical Modelling of Complex Socio-Ecological Systems at the Institute of Marine Science (ICM-CSIC), Barcelona, Spain. Teacher: Dr. Jeffrey Dambacher (CSIRO, Hobart, Tasmania). The course was an event of MarCons COST Action. Summary: Qualitative mathematical modelling was introduced as a means to understand […]
