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 […]
Researchers from Campus Gandia, Valencia University and the Oceanographic, alongside the NGO Xaloc and the Generalitat Valenciana (Valencia Regional Government), are working on a satellite-tagging project to study the behavior, habitat use and survival of loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta). The loggerhead turtles are being tagged with satellite transmitters to track their movements after being released […]
A group of researchers from the Campus Gandia, under the direction of Eduardo Belda, are taking part in a satellite tagging project studying the behavior, habitat use and survival of captive-bred and rehabilitated loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta). The study is being carried out in collaboration with the Generalitat Valenciana, the University of Valencia, the Oceanogràfic […]
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 […]
What is the IGIC? An important part of the research that takes place on the Campus Gandia occurs in the Research Institute for Integrated Coastal Zone Management (IGIC). Made up of 70 researchers from Campus Gandia, it was inaugurated in 2007 to actively promote and conduct scientific research of excellence in: Knowledge of the environment […]
