Despite their crucial role on Earth, we still know more about distant planets than we do about our own oceans. “Más Claro Agua” (Crystal Clear) is a podcast that dives deep beneath the surface to explore the ocean’s astonishing biodiversity and pressing environmental challenges—uncovering the secrets our seas still hold. The podcast was launched by […]
Since November 2024, a sustainable aquaculture research project focused on langoustine farming has been underway at Campus Gandia of the Universitat Politècnica de València. The project is led by research professor Miguel Rodilla and funded by the Gandia City Council. The project aims to cultivate and sustain langoustines in captivity for future commercialization through the […]
Supported by a grant from the Climate Change Chair at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), Miguel Zaragoza has undertaken a research project titled: “Developing a Sensor System to Monitor the Effects of Climate Change on Valencian Coastal Waters”. This project was supervised by Jaime Lloret, a research professor at Campus Gandia (UPV). What were […]
Driven by sorrow, I spent the weekend reflecting on the recent humanitarian tragedy caused by the storms and flooding. Indeed, our climate, with its tendency to “not know how to rain,” has historically subjected us to cycles of floods and droughts, often without respite. What I intended to write versus what I ultimately wrote Just […]
Researchers from the “Integrated Forecasting System for Water and the Environment (WATER4CAST)” project have developed a platform that combines forecasts for meteorological, ecohydrological, agronomic, environmental, and water resource management. This platform serves as a decision support system, providing forecasts for various meteorological variables and indicators within the Júcar River Basin District. It also predicts ecohydrological, agronomic, […]
The Albufera of Valencia is in a fragile state. While the severe impacts it faced in the late 20th century have been reduced, eliminating the risk of imminent collapse, its future remains uncertain. However, there is hope if we Valencians become aware and take action. The Albufera of Valencia is a highly complex natural environment […]
Researchers from Campus Gandia of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and the Cavanilles Institute of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology at the Universitat de València have assessed the impact of climate change on the productivity of two passerine bird species. The results reveal that extreme weather events such as increasingly warmer temperatures and greater frequency […]
Researchers at Campus Gandia (UPV) have developed a groundbreaking sensor system that can capture the unique fingerprint of essential oils, identify their origin, and detect any adulteration. Currently, they have applied this system to the oils of a forest crop, specifically sticky rockrose, though it has potential applications for other products as well. Their research […]
Due to the rural exodus and subsequent decline in agricultural activities during the latter half of the 20th century, we now face a forest landscape unprecedented in our region since the Neolithic era. The expansion of forests is on the rise due to the retreat of human agrarian activities. Forecasts indicate that this trend is […]
