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

OGS coordinates the initiative, which explores the depths of the Mediterranean Sea to better understand its connections with coastal waters and identify ways to protect its biodiversity

Setting sail from the port of Bari, the mission focused on the southern Adriatic Sea and was dedicated to the maintenance of underwater observation sites, which are part of a European network for continuous ocean monitoring

Researchers from the Centre for Seismological Research and the Oceanography Section of the OGS recently organised a series of educational scientific initiatives designed to engage and inspire young people, as part of the Scienza Under 18 Festival in Monfalcone

The training course focused on EMODnet Chemistry, a key component of EMODnet aimed at collecting and validating data on eutrophication, ocean acidification and marine contaminants since 2009, has come to a close
