The goals of this survey are framed within the educational activity of the Faculty of Marine Sciences ULPGC to give the possibility of a complete oceanographic study (Physical , Chemical , Biological and Geological Survey ) in the south of Gran Canaria students of Degree, Bachelor and Master , the convergence zone between the area and the trail of the island and the presence of permanent rotation south of it. Thus this survey will contribute to a comprehensive training for students in oceanographic study of an oceanic region may Determine the structure of water bodies, the effects of convergence and divergence to the passage of the Canary Current across the channels between islands, mass transport , and nutrients. Determine the distribution of chemical species , including oxygen and carbon dioxide system and quantify the transport of CO2 in the atmosphere-ocean study area , the effect of micro and mesoscale phenomena in their distribution. To characterize the effect of the wake , turns and other mesoscale structures in the distribution of species of phytoplankton and zooplankton.
The test cruise of the Bathypelagic project (Bathytest) was carried out to the south of Gran Canaria and consisted in two oceanographic stations over 300 and 1000 meters depth in order to test the video camara system installed on the rosette and developed by the University of Las Palmas (Canary Islands). Different tests were performed in order to capture images at different wavelengths to find the best image quality and avoid scapement of organisms as much as possible. Day and night casts were performed. Zooplankton nets deployments (WP-2) were made also during day and nightime.
Seguimiento de variables oceanográficas (fisico,quimico y biologicas) a lo largo de puntos singulares del litoral mediterraneo español.Busqueda de lagunas de datos(Golfo de Valencia y sur del canal de Ibiza y implementación de nuevos parámetros (PH,CO2 y alcalinidad).
The ECOTRANS oceanographic-fishing cruises will cover the following objectives: i) Sampling plankton (micro and mesozooplankton); ii) Sampling larvae of selected pelagic fish and iii) Trawl sampling (demersal) and bird census to determine the species and functional groups biomass and the trophic ecology of small pelagic fish, hake, monkfish and sharks at the NW Mediterranean ecosystem. The cruise (15 days of duration) will be conducted during the spawning period of the sardine (winter) in order to get their larvae.
Long term time series monitoring in 3 standard sections: Santander, Gijón and Cudillero to study the hydrographical and biological variability and tendencies in the water masses, the timing of any pronounced shift observed on them as well as the search of their causes and their biogeochemical consequences.
The main objective is to characterize the water masses in the region from the surface to 5000m. This transect is part of a serie of hidrographic cruises that since 2003 are developed as part of the core program of the IEO.
