Two articles with contributions from CNR-Ismar researchers out this week in the two prestigious journals : Fischer-Gödde, M; Tusch, J; Goderis, S; Bragagni, A; Mohr-Westheide, T; Messling, N; Elfers, BM; Schmitz, B; Reimold, WU; Maier, WD; Claeys, P; Koeberl, C; Tissot, FLH; Bizzarro, M; Münker, C; BORuthenium isotopes show the Chicxulub impactor was a carbonaceous-type […]
Mud volcanoes in the depths of the Ionian Sea
A few hours after the conclusion of the oceanographic campaign “Sirene” (Serpentinite/mud diapIRs along ExtensioNal faults in the Ionian sEa) conducted on the National Research Council oceanographic ship “Gaia Blu” some first, important results are already available. Using state-of-the-art geophysical technologies available on the ship, a field of underwater reliefs aligned along deep rifts in […]
Turning marine waste into fuel
The Life Dream Project (Deep REef restoration And litter removal in the Mediterranean sea ) coordinated by Cnr-Ismar, aims to preserve the deep coral reefs of our seas. “We transform plastic into fuel after a shredding process without the need for further refining. So the climate impact of the product is lower than other types […]
CNR-ISMAR engaged in internships for the Regional Innovation Scheme
EIT (European Institute of Innovation Technology) RIS activities are tailored to meet the diverse innovation needs of eligible countries. Field hubs have been formed in eligible countries and regions that score “moderate” or “emerging” to help guide the field implementation of these activities. EIT RIS hubs promote closer interactions among local innovation actors and connect […]
Article on Science: Marine biodiversity
The disconnection of the Mediterranean Sea from the Atlantic in the late Miocene 5 to 6 million years ago led to the sea’s nearly complete desiccation, leaving only a few hypersaline lakes similar to the present-day Dead Sea. There is a mass of data from both the geological and modern biological records that tracks this […]
