DOMIPEX TEAM 1- UPDATED) Celia, Rubén and Andrea

Hello,

We are the team 1: Celia Ruiz, Rubén Rasines and Andrea G. Bravo. We will also collaborate with Pablo Almeda and Ana Herrero. Together, we are an interdisciplinary group working from hyporheic areas in rivers  to oligotrophic and humic lakes. We study oxic and anoxic interfaces and within the context of DOMIPEX, we aim to understand the role of the organic carbon on the N cycle in lotic systems. We are happy to participate in the DOMIPEX project learning and sharing our research with many other people. We want to congrats Nuria and Ada for organizing. We expect to do the first experiment somewhere between the 1st and 15th September. We will give more details in August.

Best regards

Celia, Rubén y Andrea

Getting started with the project!

Hi all!

Two weeks ago, we started with the initial trials of the field sampling. We conducted two acetate additions in Gallifa (very close to Barcelona) to test the methodology. Now, Núria is testing the lab methods. So, everything is getting ready for our meeting at Santander congress.

Looking forward meeting you there!

In the field: Lluís, Txell, Núria, Ada and Pablo (from left to right),

DOMIPEX TEAM 7) Meritxell, Joan Pere and Rafa

Hello everybody! 

We are Meritxell, Joan Pere, and Rafa (Team 7) from the University of Barcelona (M) and the Catalan Institute for Water Research (JP and R).

We are currently working on carbon biogeochemistry and ecosystem functioning in streams, lakes, and small reservoirs in the framework of the project CARBONET (see also Team 11). So YES, we are carbocentric (or carbo-eccentric) people!

See you soon in Santander!

Cheers,

Meritxell, Joan Pere, and Rafa

DOMIPEX TEAM 11) Lluís and Biel

Hello everybody! 

We are Biel and Lluís (Team 11) from the University of Barcelona (UB).

We are currently working on carbon biogeochemistry and ecosystem functioning in streams, lakes and small reservoirs. More specifically, we are investigating the changes in aquatic metabolism and greenhouse gas emissions along a Mediterranean river network characterised by intense damming (Fluvià river, NE of Catalunya).

As Txell, Joan Pere and Rafa (from team number 7), we are all members of the project CARBONET, which aims to understand how fluvial systems shape the fate of carbon from headwaters to the ocean.

We would like to thank our PI’s Ada and Núria for leading this exciting project!!

Cheers,

Lluís and Biel

DOMIPEX TEAM 6) Edurne, Tamara and Alexia

Hi all again!

We are Edurne, Tamara and Alexia (from left to right) and we constitute group 6. We are all PhD students working at the Hydraulic Institute of Cantabria (IH Cantabria) in Santander as part of the freshwater ecosystem group. The group's main interests are the determination of the ecosystem's resilience mechanisms (biophysical) that keep them functioning, as well as their biodiversity (services), and how these are modified when faced with natural or anthropogenic disturbances.

Edurne is about to start her PhD focused on the effects of land use changes in the metabolism and food webs in stream ecosystems.

Tamara is finishing her PhD the following year on models of aquatic ecosystem water quality related to stream metabolism.

Alexia’s PhD is about the development and application of statistical models for predicting the distribution of different stream organisms’ populations.

You can check more information about our group in:

Finally, congratulations to Ada and Núria for the project! We’re pleased to be part of it!

Edurne, Tamara and Alexia
