The SIOS ARiS project team led by the OGS contributed to the document by taking stock of the influence of Atlantic waters in the polar regions

OGS is the only research organisation in Italy to have this state-of-the-art underwater robot

A study published in the journal Science, in which OGS and ICTP were involved, shows how the loss of biodiversity can accelerate the destabilisation of ecosystems

New research involving OGS and CMCC simulates scenarios with high-resolution data for the first time. The models suggest a more acidic sea and more oxygen, nutrients and plankton, but also show the potential impact of reducing CO2 emissions

The characteristics of the sea change with depth, in terms of temperature, availability of nutrients, and also the intensity and color of the water. This results in different niches being more or less suitable for different phytoplankton species. In a recent study, a group of OGS researchers

The OGS is among the organizations that participated in the compilation of the new version of the International Bathymetric Chart of the Southern Ocean (IBCSO), a digital database containing information on the depth of the Southern Ocean. The missions on the research vessel OGS Explora in 2003, 2006

Organised by OGS, the meeting served as a key gathering for the European marine scientific community, fostering dialogue among institutions, research organisations and oceanographic vessel operators, in support of increasingly collaborative and shared research

The vessel is moored in Piazza Unità d'Italia as part of the ERVO Meeting

Trieste is hosting the 28th ERVO (European Research Vessel Operators) Meeting, organised by the OGS. The programme includes visits to the two Italian research vessels, moored in the city centre for the occasion.

Representatives of the Regional Environmental Protection Agencies and the National Environmental Protection System attended the event, which included practical exercises focused on strategies for visualising and analysing physical and biogeochemical marine data
