🏆 @ULPGC honors research excellence! Our group won in Recognized Research Groups for our scientific productivity, and our PI Javier Arístegui was awarded for his Individual Research Career. A proud moment for impactful science at our university! Thank you 🙏#ResearchExcellence

[Biological Oceanography Group @GroupBiological]

Our Principal Investigator, Javier Arístegui, and our PhD student, Aja Trebec, attended the third @Oceanicu_carbon Annual Science Meeting, held at the Institute of Oceanology Polish Academy of Sciences, to share their work and explore future steps. What a wonderful experience🙏🌏

[Biological Oceanography Group @GroupBiological]

Check out this brilliant article by our colleague Dr. Javier Lezaun (@InSIS) on our 2021 mesocosm study in Gran Canaria! The first ever to explore how ocean alkalinity enhancement, a potenital climate solution, impacts natural plankton communities 🌊🔬https://t.co/K8DgYkjFW2
