Stable isotopes in Ecology and Environment: a tool to integrate scales and complexity

Currently, climate changes or alterations are known to be reflected on the stable isotope ratios of Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen and Sulphur present in atmospheric gas forms, fresh or ocean water, as well as in plants and animals and organic matter in the soil. Samples from those matrices can provide a record for such changes across a given length of time and / or space. Also, ecological and physiological processes often reflect on stable isotope ratios, again setting a record in plant, animal or other living tissues.

Nature-Based Design Frameworks

Nature-based approach to Design solutions for a more resilient future aims to support societies address a variety of environmental, social and economic challenges in sustainable ways. This approach relies on actions that are inspired by, supported by or copied from Nature. Nature-based solutions use the features and complex system processes of nature, such as its ability to store carbon and regulate water flow, to achieve desired outcomes, such as reduced disaster risk, improved human well-being and socio-ecological inclusiveness.

Antropocenas

Uma peça de teatro onde sacos de plástico flutuantes da microalga Arthrospira (também conhecida por Spirulina), cultivada na algoteca do MARE-DBV, contracenam com vários agentes das áreas da ecologia, dança, antropologia e artes visuais.

Antropocenas é uma colaboração entre Rita Natálio e João dos Santos Martins, que reflete sobre a discussão em torno do Antropoceno e da atual crise climática.
