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

The RIVIERADE project has officially launched. Funded by the Horizon Europe programme with over €4.3 million and coordinated by OGS, it will bring together an international consortium of excellence over the next four years to develop new scientific tools and climate services to support climate

Climate change alters the distribution, diversity and composition of benthic species communities in the Mediterranean Sea. Some of the resulting effects include a reduction in distribution areas, migration, habitat fragmentation and the risk of extinction. The potential damage to food webs and key marine processes is severe.

New research by OGS, University of Southampton, and University of Liverpool has analyzed the long-term impact of the activity of these planktonic microorganisms

A research team from the University of Padua and OGS highlights how the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi poses a threat to coastal and lagoon ecosystems.
