Research Line 1

RL1 focusses on Ocean Action and Resources, comprising coastal and estuarine monitoring and modelling to provide relevant, up-to-date data, products and model outcomes related to climate change and wave energy, global change and marine and estuarine biological systems, as well as deep-sea dynamics and microbiome diversity.

GOALS

Ocean and coastal monitoring and modelling

New insights into emerging and understudied issues in the Northern-Portuguese ocean territory, like threats to biodiversity, climate change, sustainable resource management and renewable energy

Obtain and provide relevant, up-to-date data, products and models to regional stakeholders, including authorities

Support the blue economy of the region
