The ISMS (International Symposium of Marine Science) is the most important appointment for marine sciences…
The Group of Aquatic Macrophyte Ecology (GAME) has pioneered the study of the carbon cycle associated to coastal ecosystems dominated by marine phanerogames. Over the last three decades our group has specialized in the study of the phenomenon of refractory accumulation of organic carbon during centuries or millennia in the sediments under seagrass meadows in Mediterranean, tropical and sub-tropical environments. By mid 2000’s, a new research line is incorporated to study the long-term change in the ecosystems (patterns and trends) based in the analysis of the environmental archive constituted by the sediments of some seagrasses, most particularly those of the Posidonia genus. Recently, after being granted with a European Union LIFE project, GAME extends its field of interest to a new environment: the saltmarshes.
Ours is a transdisciplinary group with a high degree of internationalization. Since 2009 we work hand in hand with the Centre for Marine Ecosystems Research of the Edith Cowan University of Perth, Australia, hence extending our regular geographical activity frame to the great diversity of the Australian coastal ecosystems. Our integrative, inclusive and collaborative vocation leads us to make incursions in a wide variety of scientific disciplines such as biogeochemistry, molecular biology, edaphology, geophysics, palaeoecology, palynology, microbiology, genetics, or archaeology, among others.
With around 20 national and international competitive projects, GAME has been contributing quality fundamental knowledge to serve the society to elaborate effective strategies for the conservation of the natural patrimony of the coasts of our planet. More about us
