Oceanography (physical, chemical and biological)
Activities
Aurora Borealis is designed to be a combination of heavy icebreaker, a deep sea drilling (up to 1000 m in water depth of 5000 m) and a multipurpose (oceanography, biology, geology) research vessel. Aurora Borealis will operate both in ...
Small pelagic fish (SPF) mainly feed on zooplankton, representing a fundamental link in the energy trasfer in pelagic ecosystems. The trophic ecology of anchovies and sardines, and in particular the relationship between zooplankton and SPF in the...
MaBER research group has developed its expertise in the field of chemical and biological oceanography (from molecules to ecosystems) focussing on the benthic-pelagic coupling. The research activities are carried out mainly in the Adriatic basin...
