Chasing a storm!   at the Water chemistry lab

“The effect of major storms on the base of the food-web in the East Mediterranean Sea”

The effect of extreme climatic events on oligotrophic ocean ecosystems is an important area of research, particularly with predictions of climate warming and increased storm frequency and intensity.

The aim of this project is to characterize the nutrient dynamics and biogeochemical changes before, during and after major winter storms.

Experiments will be carried out to simulate changes caused by major storms on the marine ecosystem.
