Cnr-Istituto di Scienze Marine

L’Istituto di Scienze Marine del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche svolge attività di ricerca fondamentale e applicata in oceanografia fisica, chimica e biologica e in geologia marina.

L’obiettivo è contribuire allo studio dei processi oceanici e della variabilità climatica, allo sviluppo di sistemi/servizi per l’osservazione, la protezione e la gestione sostenibile dell’ambiente marino e delle coste.

“Oceanography Unveiled summer school”, 2nd edition. Lecce 1-5 September 2025

Registration deadline: July 31st, 2025

We are happy to announce that the second edition of the “Oceanography Unveiled” summer school will be organized by University of Salento in Lecce from 1 to 5 September 2025.

This initiative is jointly coordinated by several Italian institutions: OGS, CNR-ISMAR, University of Venice Ca’ Foscari, University La Sapienza Rome, and the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Naples.

This second year of the “Oceanography Unveiled” program is entitled “Climate and Oceans: from global to regional”. The course is addressed to PhD students and post-doctoral researchers and includes three main cycle of lectures by Eelco Rohling, Goneri Le Cozannet and Piero Lionello.

These Lectures will be complemented by seminars from: Paola Malanotte Rizzoli, Fabio Bozzeda, Riccardo Martellucci, Marco Reale, Stefano Piraino and others to be confirmed.

The course also includes 25 hours of guided study and laboratory activities, led by the lecturers and the scientific committee.

Dr Helena I. Gomes, Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Nottingham, in visita a Ismar

ISMAR CNR Bologna will host Dr Helena I. Gomes, Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Nottingham (UoN), from the 26th March to the 9th April!

This mobility is in the context of a bilateral International Exchange IEC\R2\222015 named “Biomining precious metals” between Faculty of Engineering of UoN and ISMAR-CNR.

Project’s lay summary

Metals are essential in our daily lives and have a finite supply. For example, smartphones are pocket-sized vaults of precious metals. An iPhone contains 0.034 g gold, 0.34 g silver, and less than one-thousandth of a gram platinum. The current CO2 emissions and environmental impact of mining those metals are untenable. We pursue reclaiming mineral resources from waste to meet the present needs of raw materials and metals without compromising future generations to meet their own needs. Platinum-group elements (PGE), in particular platinum, palladium, and rhodium, are precious metals we need to secure supply, as they are essential for catalysts, electronics, and medical therapies/diagnostics. One of the primary uses of PGE is in cars to reduce the harmful substances in exhaust fumes from gasoline burning. Recycling car catalysts has huge environmental benefits, enabling the recovery of up to 95% of platinum and saving high amounts of energy compared to mining the primary ores. Current recycling technologies are expensive, energy-intensive, and can generate pollution. In this project, we will study nature-inspired processes for recovering PGE from waste materials to counteract traditional mining of natural resources, which is often inefficient under the new circularity requirements. Acid-producing bacteria and bacteria that grow in contaminated land and under extreme conditions will be tested. Collaborating with Italy will enable us to compare different microbes and whether they can be used to upcycle critical metals. The goal is to develop a new and cleaner method to recover precious metals from wastes, avoiding overmining and its pollution.

Helena will give a seminar on the 4th April at ISMAR-CNR terzo piano sala riunioni (more info will follow, also a remote link will be available). If you are curious or want to chat and network, please feel free to email us (Helena.Gomes1@nottingham.ac.uk; valerio.funari@cnr.it).
