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

A recent study by OGS highlights the effectiveness of the infrastructure, while also emphasizing the need to combine these climate change adaptation measures with policies to mitigate their effects on coastal ecosystems

Nineteen partners from ten different countries met in Rome to launch the Horizon Europe project, which will prepare Europe’s deep-sea ocean observation infrastructure to meet the challenges of the next decade. Italy is represented by OGS, INGV and CNR

Conclusa la Conferenza Nazionale Polare ideata e coordinata dal CNR in collaborazione con ENEA, INGV e OGS, con il patrocinio dei Ministeri della Difesa e dell’Università e della Ricerca

The OGS also contributed to the report, with a study conducted by the Section of Oceanography focusing on the impact of extreme events on the biogeochemical dynamics of coastal areas, with a particular emphasis on the northern Adriatic region
