Some of you may wonder why we celebrate World Rivers Day: aren’t our rivers nearly dead? Well here’s the news: the Serpis is alive. This discovery was made after verifying the state of the river after the recent swells.
A Vote for Science at Campus Gandia
We have a new opportunity to decide in the Campus Gandia elections who will represent us during the next four years. We will once again choose the Director, who will be responsible for deciding the direction our center takes. The Campus has no direct decision-making responsibility in terms of research policies, as it is determined […]
New Smart System Detects Toxic Waste in the Sea
Researchers from Campus Gandia of the UPV have designed a new smart sensor system that helps detect and delineate toxic waste, oil spills or hydrocarbons in general, in any aquatic environment, whether it is the sea, rivers lakes, etc. and at very low concentrations. As IGIC researcher Jaime Lloret points out, marine pollution is a […]
Campus Gandia to Take Part in the Construction of the World’s Largest Neutrino Telescope
On December 3rd a crucial step was taken in the construction of what is to be the world’s largest neutrino telescope, KM3NeT, with the installation of the first detector string off the coast of Capo Passero, near Sicily (Italy). The Universitat Politècnica de València had a significant role in the success of this first step, […]

Studying the Universe from the Depths of the Mediterranean Sea
Tens of thousands of optical sensors located more than 2,000 meters deep in the Mediterranean Sea are probing several cubic kilometers of water for light signals generated by neutrinos, which are elementary particles that transmit valuable information from the confines of the cosmos where they occur. Although it it may sound like a page taken […]
Using Scientific Echo Sounders to Conduct Census of Turtle Populations
Sonars and echo sounders are commonly used to detect and assess fish stock, as well as for species identification. However, there are very few studies of turtle populations made with these tools, probably due to a lack of commercial interest. Now a team of researchers from the Campus of Gandia and the Oceanogràfic in Valencia are […]
Ivan Herrero Receives the 2014 Andres Lara Award for Young Researchers
The Spanish Society of Acoustics (SEA) has granted the eleventh Andrés Lara Award to the young acoustician Iván Herrero Durá for the thesis titled “Measurement of Sound Absorption of a Water Injection System ‘, the result of a research project for his Master’s thesis in Acoustical Engineering offered by the UPV in Gandia. The resulting scientific […]
Noise Reduction During Space Launches
Researchers at the UPV developed a pioneering project for the European Space Agency (ESA) aimed at achieving a significant reduction of noise in the vicinity of the launch pad during rocket launches.
