Exploring waterborne viruses in groundwater: Quantification and Virome characterization via passive sampling and targeted enrichment sequencing
Aquifers, which provide drinking water for nearly half the world's population, face significant challenges from microbial contamination, particularly from waterborne viruses such as human adenovirus (HAdV), norovirus (NoV) ...
La Apuesta por el patrimonio histórico-artístico en el turismo de montaña. El caso del Pirineo Catalán.
[spa] La escasa presión humana sobre los espacios de alta montaña, de características físicas extremas, ha permitido mantener y conservar un patrimonio natural y cultural de innegable valor y atractivo que, con el paso del ...
1st Water, Landscape & Society in the Past Conference (WaLS Conference)
El presente libro electrónico actúa como compendio general de las aportaciones científicas al 1st Water, Landscape & Society in the Past Conference (WaLS Conference), llevado a cabo los días 9 y 10 de octubre de 2025 en ...
VII Jornada de Joves Investigadors de l’IdRA
L'aigua, element fonamental de la vida, esdevé la protagonista de la recerca científica multidisciplinària. En un món on la crisi hídrica amenaça amb desafiar la sostenibilitat de la societat i el benestar humà, l'exploració ...
Effective dispersal and density-dependence in mesophotic macroalgal forests: Insights from the Mediterranean species Cystoseira zosteroides
Dispersal and recruitment are fundamental processes for population recovery following disturbances in sessile species. While both processes are well understood for many terrestrial species, they still remain poorly resolved ...
High-resolution (sub-decadal) pollen analysis of varved sediments from lake Montcortès (South-central pre-Pyrenees): a fine-tuned record of landscape dynamics and human impact during the last 500 years.
A high-resolution (average 6 years/sampling interval) palaeoenvironmental reconstruction using pollen, charcoal and non-pollen palynomorphs was carried out on annually laminated sediments of Lake Montcortès (southern ...
Reply to the Comment by David W. Morrow on 'Self-accelerating dolomite-for-calcite replacement: Self-organized dynamics of burial dolomitization and associated mineralization'
We welcome David W. Morrow's Comment to our article Merino and Canals (2011) (MC-2011 hereafter), in which we presented a new model of burial dolomitization. Morrow raises several questions and sees conflicts of some of ...
Human management and landscape changes at Palaikastro (Eastern Crete) from the Late Neolithic to the Early Minoan period
The intense cultivation of olives, together with the diversification and specification of crops has been hypothesized as a cornerstone in the socio-economic transformations occurred during the Early bronze age in Crete, ...
A hybrid sensing system combining simultaneous optical and electrochemical measurements: application to beer discriminations
A hybrid sensing system, which combines simultaneous cyclic voltammetric (CV) and UV-vis absorbance measurements using a commercial carbon screen-printed electrode and a set of optical fibres in disposable cuvettes, is ...
Livestock aggregated samples for monitoring viruses infecting animals and potentially zoonotic viral pathogens
Active surveillance of livestock pathogens is essential to prevent animal health losses and zoonotic spillover. This study evaluted aggregated environmental sampling as a non-invasive approach for monitoring swine- and ...
Effects of Didymosphenia geminata massive growth on stream communities: Smaller organisms and simplified food web structure
This study aims to contribute to the understanding of the impact of Didymosphenia geminata massive growths upon river ecosystem communities' composition and functioning. This is the first study to jointly consider the ...
Constraints on political autonomy in decentralized Spain? Analysing the impact of territorial financing and governments' ideology on regional policy-making
This article analyses the impact of state decentralization on one aspect of territorial diversity, specifically on the policy discretion of regions, as an expression of their political autonomy for self-government. Our ...
Grazing activities in the southern central Pyrenees during the last millenium as deduced from the non-pollen palynomorphs (NPP) record of lake Montcortès
Human activities during the last millennium have shaped most of the present-day landscapes. During this time, in the southern central Pyrenees several climate periods and phases of variable human disturbance have driven ...
Evaluation of uncertainties in mean and extreme precipitation under climate change for northwestern Mediterranean watersheds from high-resolution Med and Euro-CORDEX ensembles
The climate change impact on mean and extreme precipitation events in the northern Mediterranean region is assessed using high-resolution EuroCORDEX and Med-CORDEX simulations. The focus is made on three regions, Lez and ...
The sixteenth century panel Virgin with the Child and an Angel, confluences of material characterization and iconography
Attribution of the panel The Virgin with the Child and an Angel today in the Art Museum of Girona is under study due to the existence of two hypotheses, both of them not thoroughly documented, pointing Jan Massys and ...
Chloride-attachment atmospheric pressure photoionisation for the determination of short-chain chlorinated paraffins by gas chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry
In this work, a new gas chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS) method based on atmospheric pressure photoionisation (APPI) has been developed for the accurate determination of short-chain chlorinated ...
Impact of permeate flux and gas sparging rate on membrane performance and process economics of granular anaerobic membrane bioreactors
This research investigated the impact of permeate flux and gas sparging rate on membrane permeability, dissolved and colloidal organic matter (DCOM) rejection and process economics of granular anaerobic membrane bioreactors ...
Influencia térmica antrópica local y global en el observatorio Fabra para el periodo 1924-2016
[spa] Se presenta una primera aproximación en la diferenciación de la contribución local y global en el incremento de la temperatura del aire en Barcelona. Para ello, se busca determinar la influencia local del área ...
An interdisciplinary research agenda to explore the unintended consequences of structural flood protection
One common approach to cope with floods is the implementation of structural flood protection measures, such as levees or flood-control reservoirs, which substantially reduce the probability of flooding at the time of ...
Skilful forecasting of global fire activity using seasonal climate predictions
Societal exposure to large fires has been increasing in recent years. Estimating the expected fire activity a few months in advance would allow reducing environmental and socio-economic impacts through short-term adaptation ...
