Europa respalda al Observatorio Pirenaico del Cambio Climático

The project of the Pyrenean Observatory of Climate Change, promoted by the Working Community of the Pyrenees (CTP), will receive 763K Eur from the European POCTEFA funds. Its four associated projects will receive another 2.3M Eur.

España, Francia y Andorra luchan contra el cambio climático en los Pirineos

Four projects of the Pyrenean Observatory of Climate Change (OPCC) have been awarded with european funds. Thanks to this funding the OPCC will carry out during the next three years an action plan for the adaptation to Climate Change. This consolidates the Observatory as the most relevant transboundary cooperation initiative between Spain, France and Andorre on this matter.

Els llacs del Pirineu avisen

Scientists track the impact of pollution on mountain ecosystems. Journalists accompany Lluís Camarero on fieldwork in Aigüestortes National Park and visit the CRAM laboratory, where Berta Fueyo is spending her last day at work.

Vielha i el CSIC impulsen l’observatori de llacs del Pirineu

The Municipality of Vielha-Mig Aran and the CSIC will collaborate to promote the investigations carried out by the LOOP at the Center for High Mountain Research located. The Center is located in Aran and next year its 30th aniversary will be celebrated. The municipality is involved in an international project to spread the concern about the sustainable use of water among citizens.

Entrevista a Jordi Catalan, distingit amb el Premi Medi Ambient de l’Institut d’Estudis Catalans

How does climate change affects high mountain lakes? What is ecology? What influence do humans exert on our environment? "El Cafè de la República" talks about it with Jordi Catalan, Ph. D. in Biology for the University of Barcelona and researcher of the Centre de Recerca Ecològica i Aplicacions Forestals (CREAF) and the LOOP, recently awarded with the Premi de Medi Ambient (Environment Award) of the Institut d'Estudis Catalans.

Entrevista a Berta Fueyo i Lluís Camarero sobre el laboratori del LOOP

Interview with Berta Fueyo and Lluís Camarero. Berta and Lluís explain how is the work done at the LOOP's lab.

El cambio climático y la alteración de los lagos

A study by LOOP researchers shows that human activities and the global change have direct consequences on high mountain lakes. The work has detected an increase in the atmospheric phosphorus that is deposited on the lakes, and the results prove changes in their chemical composition. Since the 80's, the human impact has produced also an increase in the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen.

El dipòsit atmosfèric afecta el funcionament ecològic dels estanys pirinencs

Alfred Rodríguez Picó interviews Lluís Camarero in his TV show on BTV. Lluís talks on the recent results published in Nature Communications. Atmospheric fluxes of N and P affect the ecological functioning of high mountain lakes in the Pyrenees in an unsuspected way.

L’escassedat de neu afecta les reserves d’aigua

Snow is arriving very late this season at the Pyrenees. By the end of January the amount of snow in the mountains is well below the average, and the water supply to lowlands during the spring thaw is at risk. TV reporters climbed to lake Redon together with LOOP's researchers during one of the regular field trips to monitor the ice cover of the lake. Still only a thin layer of clear ice covers the lake, when a thicker snow and ice cover could be expected.

RESEARCH

We integrate long-term monitoring, experimental approaches, and modelling to advance the understanding of high-mountain freshwater ecosystems.

OUTREACH

We communicate our research through scientific publications, public-oriented research stories, and collaborations with the media. 

DATA

We provide access to our long-term datasets from high-mountain freshwater ecosystems through our interactive visualization portal.
