SUMMARY:PhD Thesis Defence by Olga Gómez Navarro
DESCRIPTION:The predoctoral researcher Olga Gómez Navarro\, from the ONHEALTH group\, will defend her thesis on 25th July at 10:00h in Aula Eduard Fontseré (Faculty of Chemistry\, Universitat de Barcelona) \nDirectors: Sandra Pérez and Nicola Montemurro \nThesis Committee: Juan Vicente Sancho\, Carlos Gonçalves and Barend Van Drooge \nAbstract:\nIntermittent streams\, characterized by variable and discontinuous flow regimes\, are becoming increasingly common in the Mediterranean region due to climate change\, land use changes\, and population growth\, which further decrease water availability. As a result\, their natural dilution capacity is limited\, making them highly vulnerable to both anthropogenic pressures and climate-driven hydrological variability. This thesis developed and applied robust analytical techniques for the detection\, quantification\, and characterization of contaminants of emerging concern and transformation products\, and assessed their potential environmental risks in Mediterranean intermittent freshwater systems. Through an integrated approach combining chemical\, hydrological\, and ecological indicators\, this thesis highlighted the impact of wastewater discharges on aquatic ecosystems and the need for region-specific monitoring frameworks. The importance of considering hydrological variability\, particularly in low flow situations\, where the natural dilution capacity of streams is limited\, was also emphasized\, especially as water scarcity increases. Suspect and non-target screening approaches\, supported by open-source tools\, expanded the target analysis and revealed a broader understanding of the contaminant profiles in intermittent streams.

SUMMARY:PhD Thesis Defence by Verónica Moreno
DESCRIPTION:The predoctoral researcher Verónica Moreno\, from the EGAR group\, will defend her thesis on 17th July at 10:00h at Universitat de Barcelona (Aula Magna\, Facultat de Biologia) \nDirectors: Mar Viana and Marcel Macarulla \nThesis Committee: Jordi Poblet\, Ana Sofia Godinho and Julio Bastos \nAbstract:\nNanoparticles (NPs) differ from other pollutants by their dynamic transformations and dominance in particle number despite low mass. They penetrate the respiratory system\, causing inflammation and toxicity risks. Incidental nanoparticles (INPs)\, unintentionally released in industries\, are often overlooked in occupational exposure. \nThis Thesis studies INPs in the ceramic sector by examining emission sources\, worker exposure including physicochemical and toxicological characterisation\, and using Reduced Order Models (ROMs) to optimise industrial ventilation. Three processes were analysed: tile cutting\, firing\, and thermal spraying. Results show INP properties and toxicity depend on formation mechanisms. In situ sampling provided essential aerosol data. ROMs reduced INP exposure by 73%\, energy use by 15%\, and CO₂ emissions by 12%. \nCurrent regulations inadequately address NP risks\, emphasising the need for international exposure limits\, detailed aerosol characterisation\, and ROMs to improve occupational safety and efficiency. \n

SUMMARY:PhD Thesis by Sharon Ridolfo
DESCRIPTION:The predoctoral researcher Sharon Ridolfo\, from the EGAR group\, will defend her thesis on 9th July at 11:00h at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (Sala Multimèdia Professor Pedro Vicente del Fraile\, Edificio B3 – Campus Nord UPC) \nDirectors: Fulvio Amato and Xavier Querol \nThesis Committee: Jesús Damián de la Rosa Díaz\, Eleonora Simona Cuccia and Xavier Gamisans Noguera \nAbstract:\nUltrafine particles (UFP)\, defined as airborne particulates with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than 100 nm\, are of particular concern due to their ability to penetrate deep into the respiratory system and even reach the brain directly via the olfactory bulb\, with the potential to cause a wide range of adverse health effects. In response to the growing evidence of health risks associated with UFP\, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recently issued ‘Good practice statements’ emphasizing the need to integrate UFP in terms of particle number concentration (PNC) into existing air quality monitoring systems (WHO\, 2021). In line with these recommendations\, the new European Air Quality Directive (AQD\, 2024/2881/EC) requires the monitoring of PNC and particle number size distribution (PNSD) in urban supersites and of PNC in rural supersites and pollution hotspots\, including traffic\, harbors\, airports\, and industry\, among others (EU\, 2024). In this context\, the present PhD thesis investigates the concentrations\, size\, and some chemical patterns and source contributions of UFP in transport environments\, including a review of existing literature on PNC-PNSD\, as well as experimental studies conducted at an airport\, harbor\, road traffic and urban background (UB) in Barcelona (NE Spain) and a subway in Valencia (E Spain). The review aimed to assess the instruments used\, analyze results\, and identify knowledge gaps in PNC-PNSD across transport environments. It highlighted understudied areas needing further investigation and provided key insights for the field campaigns. The findings identified road traffic as the main contributor to PNC in urban areas\, with commuting modes influenced by proximity to traffic and meteorological conditions. It also emphasized the need for harmonizing measurement protocols due to significant variations in methods\, particularly in lower (finer) particle size detection limits. The experimental studies revealed substantial variability in PNC and PNSD\, driven by differences in emission sources and site-specific conditions. The airport recorded the highest PNC\, dominated by aircraft activity\, particularly taxiing and takeoff\, while the subway exhibited the lowest. Nucleation mode particles (<25 nm) were especially elevated at the airport and road traffic site\, indicating the influence of fresh emissions and secondary formation from gaseous precursors. In contrast\, the harbor showed a dominant Aitken mode (25-100 nm) linked to ship emissions. Diurnal trends further reflected localized source activity\, with distinct peaks observed in line with transport operations\, except in the subway\, where PNC remained relatively stable. PNSD was unimodal below 20 nm at the airport and traffic sites\, unimodal around 20-30 nm at the harbor\, and flatter at the subway\, suggesting a lack of significant local sources of UFP. Notably\, no second mode (40-90 nm)\, commonly associated with diesel emissions\, was observed at the road traffic site\, indicating a possible decline in larger diesel-related particles due to the implementation of EURO 5 and 6/V and VI standards and the Barcelona Low Emission Zone (LEZ). Source apportionment analyses confirmed aviation and shipping as dominant contributors to UFP at the airport and harbor\, respectively\, while chemical characterization revealed specific racers such as aluminum (airport)\, chromium and barium (traffic)\, vanadium and nickel (harbor)\, and copper (subway)\, among others.

SUMMARY:ERC KARST Workshop "Flow and Transport of Contaminants in Karst Systems"
DESCRIPTION:From 2 to 4 June\, the international team of the ERC-KARST project will meet at CosmoCaixa Barcelona for their scientific workshop on Flow and Transport of Contaminants in Karst Systems\, organised by the Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA-CSIC). \nFunded by a prestigious ERC Synergy Grant\, the KARST project brings together leading researchers in hydrogeology\, geosciences\, applied mathematics\, and physics to understand and predict the complex behaviour of water and contaminant transport in karst aquifers. These systems\, characterised by underground networks of caves and conduits\, are highly dynamic and particularly vulnerable to climate change\, flooding\, and pollution. \nThe workshop will serve as a key moment for the project consortium to exchange knowledge\, share advances in methodology and modelling\, and coordinate future research steps. It will also strengthen the collaboration between the project partners from Spain\, Switzerland\, France\, and Slovenia. \nKARST aims to develop a novel multiscale framework that links flow and transport processes across conduit\, network\, and catchment scales\, ultimately supporting the sustainable management of groundwater resources that supply drinking water to nearly a quarter of the global population. \nMore information about the project is available at: erc-karst.eu \nProgram \nFunded by the European Union (ERC\, KARST\, 101071836) \nImage from T. Racine (University of Neuchatel\, KARST project): Laserscan of Mravljetovo abyss (Slovenia)\, highlighting hypogene karst geomorphology.

SUMMARY:PhD Thesis by Jon Iriarte
DESCRIPTION:The predoctoral researcher Jon Iriarte\, from the Global Change and Genomic Biogeochemistry group\, will defend his thesis on 21st May at 10:30h at the Aula Magna Enric Casassas of the Faculty of Chemistry (University of Barcelona) \nDirectors: Maria Vila-Costa and Jordi Dachs \nThesis Committee: Barend L. van Drooge\, Eva Ortega Retuerta and Marta Sebastián Caumel \nAbstract:\nThis thesis investigates the effects of background levels of contaminants on marine microbes and their potential role in the biodegradation of these compounds\, focusing on remote regions such as the Antarctic coast and the open ocean. To do so\, it integrates chemical data with compositional and functional data of microbial communities\, along with other physicochemical parameters obtained through field measurements and experiments conducted during various sampling campaigns. The resulting datasets were analyzed using data analysis tools\, statistical tests\, and bioinformatics software. \nThis thesis demonstrates that the simultaneous characterization of organic contaminants and microbial communities through field measurements provides new insight into the complexity of processes occurring under real environmental conditions. It reveals that background levels of organic contaminants\, while not the main drivers\, can significantly influence marine microbial communities. Furthermore\, microbial degradation was observed to potentially act as an oceanic sink for emerging contaminants at the ocean surface. \n

SUMMARY:PhD Thesis Defence by Núria Trilla i Prieto
DESCRIPTION:The predoctoral researcher Núria Trilla i Prieto\, from the Global Change and Genomic Biogeochemistry group\, will defend her thesis on 25th April at 10:00h at the aula Magna of the Faculty of Biology (University of Barcelona) \nDirectors: Jordi Dachs and Begoña Jiménez \nThesis Committee: Assumpció Borrell\, Antonio Tovar and Andre G. Bravo \nAbstract:\nLarge-scale oceanic assessments provide key knowledge on the persistence and potential for long-range transport of organic pollutants. This thesis investigates the latitudinal and depth distribution and biogeochemical cycling of dissolved black carbon (DBC)\, organophosphate esters (OPEs)\, and perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in the ocean. The assessment of DBC occurrence and cycling in the ocean was based on a meta-analysis\, while OPEs and PFAAs were analyzed for samples collected during two oceanographic expeditions covering a latitudinal transect from 42ºN to 71ºS in the Atlantic and Southern oceans. It is shown that semivolatile aromatic hydrocarbons account for ~16% of oceanic DBC\, implying that DBC is less persistent than previously thought\, and that there are important atmospheric inputs of semivolatile DBC to the ocean. OPE concentrations decreased from the Northern Atlantic toward Antarctic waters\, but showed unexpected enrichment in the sea surface microlayer (SML)—particularly in the Southern Ocean—likely linked to its surfactant and hydrophobic properties. Depth distribution of OPEs were clearly influenced by the biological pump and other biogeochemical processes. In contrast\, PFAAs showed similar concentrations in the remote Southern Ocean than in the open north Atlantic\, while concentrations were lower in the tropical south Atlantic. PFAAs concentrations in the Southern Ocean are currently larger than two decades ago\, suggesting that Antarctic waters are a long term sink and reservoir for PFAAs. This accumulation is consistent with PFAAs sea-spray driven aerosolization followed by wet deposition. These results shows that persistence is a key property explaining the long-range transport and accumulation of emerging contaminants in remote oceanic regions.

SUMMARY:Prof. Rainer Helmig (University of Stuttgart\, Germany): Kimberly-Clark Distinguished Lecture 2025
DESCRIPTION:From the Brain to Water Uptake of Roots to Fuel Cells:  Porous Media are “Almost” Everywhere \nPorous media are almost everywhere. The understanding of flow\, transport and deformation processes in porous media is important for the optimization of fuel cells\, energy storage\, the prediction of landslides due to heavy rainfall or the spread of tumors in human tissue. In this lecture\, we will first give a brief overview of the importance of porous media. Using selected examples\, we will cover the range from environmental to technical and relevant bio-issues. \nThen we would like to present selected modelling approaches and analyses using two concrete application examples. \nFirst\, we can use the knowledge of porous media to make better predictions when multiple sclerosis flares. What happens in the porous medium “brain” when the blood-brain barrier no longer functions properly? How can research in the field of porous media positively influence the treatment of multiple sclerosis? \nSecondly\, we would like to discuss whether it is possible to improve water management in fuel cells as a drive technology with our knowledge of porous media. What role does the understanding of porous media play in the context of alternative forms of mobility such as fuel cells? Are our “classical models” for water transportation helpful? \nRegarding both of the above-mentioned topics\, the use of simulations helps because they make the invisible processes in the brain and in the fuel cell visible

SUMMARY:Joan Martí: La reducció del risc natural: tasca difícil però possible
DESCRIPTION:La reducció del risc natural: tasca difícil però possible \nEl seminari abordarà la temàtica de la reducció del risc natural en un context marcat per la complexitat\, la incertesa i la dinàmica del canvi global. Es posarà especial atenció en la necessitat d’adoptar un enfocament multirisc per fer front a diferents tipologies de perills naturals (inundacions\, erupcions volcàniques terratrèmols\, tempestes\, esllavissades\, incendis\, etc.)\, tenint en compte les interaccions entre aquests i els factors socioeconòmics i ambientals. En el marc de la situació actual de canvi global\, es reflexionarà sobre com aquest fenomen intensifica la vulnerabilitat i l’exposició\, però també ofereix l’oportunitat de repensar estratègies i polítiques de mitigació. El seminari posarà èmfasi en l’aplicació d’estratègies integrals i col·laboratives basades en la resiliència\, la planificació territorial\, la previsió i la sensibilització ciutadana. S’analitzaran solucions viables per millorar la capacitat d’adaptació i reduir el risc a llarg termini. L’objectiu és demostrar que\, tot i que la reducció del risc natural representa un repte complex\, és una tasca possible si s’aborden de manera coordinada els aspectes ambientals\, socials\, polítics i econòmics.

SUMMARY:Exhibition 'Augmented Ecofeminisms: Climate\, Water\,Women'
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is threatening rivers\, lakes and wetlands across the globe\, generating inequalities and discrimination that disproportionately affect women. From the disconformity\, several women are also the voice of the most important movements for the defense and protection of these ecosystems. Unfortunately\, we still forget women when we talk about climate change and water. \nThe exhibition Augmented ecofeminisms: climate\, water and woman\, organized by the Gender & Science AIL Group\, of which IDAEA researcher Miguel Cañedo-Argüelles is a member\, and funded by the Spanish Ministry of Equality invites reflection on the effects of climate change on freshwater ecosystems and their interaction with women. Through a journey that combines augmented reality with scientific\, plastic and audiovisual material\, the authors question the current management of environmental problems related to water; and explore potential futures based on alternative views to contemporary politics. \nThe Gender & Science AIL Group is an international network of researchers within the Iberian Association of Limnology (AIL) dedicated to promoting gender equality in freshwater science. The group works to raise awareness of gender biases\, support women’s careers in limnology\, and foster an inclusive research environment. \nCredits \nCoordination: Anna Lupon\, Ada Pastor.

SUMMARY:Exposició fotogràfica 'H2O de mercaderia a bé comú'
DESCRIPTION:Exposició fotogràfica de Sasha R. Gregor dissenyada en el marc d’un projecte de sensibilització co-produït entre Institut de les Desigualtats i Enginyers sense Fronteres.\n  \nSobre l’exposició\nSasha R. Gregor (pseudònim del fotògraf Roger Grasas) presenta l’exposició H2O\, de mercaderia a bé comú\, una sèrie fotogràfica que té com a focus la relació directa entre la vulneració del dret d’accés a l’aigua i la salut pública o ambiental. Dissenyat a partir d’una narrativa d’imatges enregistrades a diferents nivells d’escala visual\, i plantejant interseccions entre el discurs estètic i la iconografia científica\, el treballa s’articula en tres nivells: \nPrimerament\, en el pla submicroscòpic\, l’artista ha enregistrat fotomicrografies amb la tècnica de contrast interferencial Nomarski\, de mostres d’aigua procedents de les diferents localitzacions representades en el projecte. \nA nivell ja macroscòpic i enmarcat en el context emocional i personalitzat de les històries humanes que es troben darrere de cada cas d’estudi\, Gregor ha elaborat una sèrie de retrats de persones afectades pel conflicte de la manca o contaminació de l’aigua. \nFinalment\, ens trobem una tercera categoria visual en la que\, eixamplant encara més l’angle de visió del problema\, el fotógraf ha localitzat gràficament els entorns físics i territoris vinculats amb el projecte. Es mostren aquí fotografies de paisatges urbans o rurals relacionats directament amb els recursos hídrics i la seva mancança o contaminació. Aquests paisatges del tercer nivell estarán directament relacionats amb les persones fotografiades en el segon nivell i alhora amb les mostres d’aigua del primer nivell submicroscòpic. Aquestes tres escales visuals des d’allò microscòpic de la composició de l’aigua fins alllò macroscòpic social pretenen generar proximitat i impacte visual envers la problemàtica. \n  \nContext del projecte\nL’accés a l’aigua i el sanejament continua essent un dret no garantit\, i les empreses transnacionals (ETN) que en diversos països monopolitzen aquests serveis vulneren freqüentment drets humans de forma sistemàtica\, inclòs el dret a una vida saludable. Aquestes empreses tenen un impacte negatiu sobre la salut pública i ambiental\, en gran part a causa de la manca d’una legislació internacional que reguli les seves actuacions. Això provoca impunitat\, amb greus violacions dels drets humans\, especialment al Sud Global\, incloent-hi fins i tot crims contra líders socials i comunitaris\, repressió i criminalització de les lluites socials. Les vulneracions d’aquests drets generen costos importants en salut pública i mediambiental\, com altes taxes de mortalitat infantil i malalties infeccioses. A més\, sovint són responsables de la contaminació i de danys ecològics provocats per grans projectes\, afectant ecosistemes locals i comunitats\, incloent la pesca i la salut. També contribueixen a condicions socioeconòmiques i ambientals inacceptables\, ja que per atreure inversions\, alguns governs modifiquen les lleis laborals i ambientals\, amb greus conseqüències sobre la salut física i mental de les comunitats. \n  \nSobre Sasha R. Gregor\n(Barcelona\, 1970) \nGraduat en Fotografia Tecnicocientífica (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya\, 1998) i Diplomat en Òptica (UPC 1993). Llicenciat en Filosofia per la Universitat de Barcelona (2012) amb un Màster en Teoria de l’Art (UAB 2004)\, ha realitzat diversos cursos d’especialització en el ICP de Nova York. \nAlter ego del fotògraf Roger Grasas\, la passió de Gregor per l’òptica física li ha portat a investigar el fenomen de la llum com a font de coneixement. A través dels seus projectes\, Gregor traça connexions inèdites entre art i ciència\, proposant de manera simultània un acostament hiper-tecnològic a la creació així com una visió estètica de l’epistemologia. De la mà de la tecnologia\, la potència cognoscitiva de la fotografia es converteix en instrument rastrejador d’una altra bellesa\, una finestra oberta a una altra entitat invisible a l’ull però real\, que interpel·la i convida a mirar la realitat des d’un altra prisma.

SUMMARY:PhD Thesis Defence by Álvaro Moyano Salcedo
DESCRIPTION:The PhD student Álvaro Moyano Salcedo\, from the Surface Hydrology\, Ecology and Erosion group\, will defend his thesis on 15th January at 11:00h in Aula de Graus – Edifici Durfort (Faculty of Biology\, University of Barcelona) \nDirectors: Miguel Cañedo-Argüelles and Humbert Salvadó \nThesis Committee: Eugènia Martí\, Francesc de Paula and Juan David González \nAbstract:\nFreshwater salinization (FS) is a global challenge impacting aquatic ecosystems. This thesis compiles the GlobSalt database\, which includes ~15M records on salinity parameters globally. It examines FS in Spanish rivers\, focusing on temporal variability and key human-driven sources. It also explores the interactive effects of nutrient and salt pollution on aquatic ecosystems. Finally\, it assesses how salinity affects wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and their contributions to river salinity. The findings highlight FS drivers\, impacts\, and management strategies\, providing a foundation for future research and solutions.

SUMMARY:PhD Thesis Defence by Carlos Pérez López
DESCRIPTION:The PhD student Carlos Pérez López\, from the Chemometrics for Environmental Omics group\, will defend his thesis on 18th November at 11:30h in Facultat de Ciències at Universitat de Girona. \nTitle: Development of comprehensive non-target bioinformatics and chemometric tools for data filtering and management of mass spectrometry datasets and the chemical compound identification in environmental omics (proteomics\, metabolomics\, and exposomics) \nDirectors: Romà Tauler\, Antoni Ginebreda and Damià Barceló \nThesis Committee: Victoria de los Ángeles Salvadó Martín\, Guillermo Quintas Soriano and Antonio Checa Gómez \nAbstract:\nEnvironmental omics is a valuable source of knowledge concerning the chemical compounds and biomolecules occurring in the environment and their molecular effects on the exposed biota. Mass spectrometry (MS)\, usually coupled to a chromatographic instrument to separate the analytes of a sample\, is the most widely used analytical technique in environmental omics studies. However\, MS instruments generate a large amount of data\, some unrelated to analytes and associated with instrumental interferences or noise background. Filtering MS signals\, selecting those belonging to analytes\, and identifying these chemical compounds remain challenging tasks in analytical chemistry. These procedures are even more demanding when there is a total lack of knowledge of the sample´s composition\, a typical scenario in the untargeted analytical approach. In the last decades\, chemometrics and bioinformatics methods have been proposed\, some based on feature detection and a few others on the direct resolution of chemical compounds. \nThis PhD Thesis has been focused on studying the so-called Regions of Interest-Multivariate Curve Resolution (ROIMCR) chemometrics method to resolve the chemical compounds present in environmental omics samples\, following a direct non-target analytical approach. Data from different sources and MS acquisition modes have been analyzed using the ROIMCR method to validate its performance\, (including strengths and limitations). Datasets related to mixtures of small (exposomics and metabolomics) and large (proteomics) molecules have been successfully analyzed using full-scan\, Data Dependent acquisition (DDA)\, and Data independent acquisition (DIA) modes. The possibilities of ROIMCR using DIA mode have confirmed its application to the analysis of MS data structures including MS2 information (even considering simultaneously positive and negative ionization modes). Some tools were developed to overcome certain limitations (generally related to the lack of automatization of the process) of the ROIMCR methodology. Such developments were implemented in two related MATLAB software packages\, the SigSel package used for the visualization\, filtering\, and extraction of ROIMCR-results information\, and the MSident program for annotating the resolved chemical compounds. Additionally\, a rapid and cost-effective methodology\, so-called Aquasearch\, has been proposed to perform proteomic biomarkers profiling in wastewater samples using Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption /Ionization-Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF). The Aquasearch program developed in this Thesis is proposed as a convenient tool for routine biomarker monitoring\, instead of other possible methods that are more resource-demanding and time-consuming.

SUMMARY:#cafèPrismàtic Innovar amb la ciutadania per estudiar els additius del cautxú dels pneumàtics en zones naturals protegides
DESCRIPTION:La plataforma PRISMÀTIC organitza aquest serminari online el proper 14 de novembre\, on coneixerem una innovadora iniciativa de ciència ciutadana que analitza la presència i el destí ambiental dels additius del cautxú dels pneumàtics i altres compostos químics relacionats amb el desgast dels pneumàtics en entorns urbans\, així com també un projecte de recerca enfocat en el Delta del Llobregat\, una zona natural protegida\, tot identificant com aquests compostos poden afectar la salut ambiental i humana. A través d’un diagnòstic participatiu dut a terme a l’Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona\, ens aproparem a un projecte pioner que permet a professionals i societat comprendre millor una contaminació sovint invisible\, poc estudiada i no directament associada als combustibles fòssils. \nTots els detalls d’aquesta proposta ens els compartiran la Mercè Garí i en Nicola Montemurro\, investigadors de l’IDAEA-CSIC\, i l’Enric de Roa Boneal\, tècnic de gestió d’espais naturals del Consorci per a la Protecció i Gestió dels Espais Naturals del Delta del Llobregat. És una oportunitat molt interessant per a professionals de la gestió del patrimoni natural i la biodiversitat\, així com per a responsables de polítiques ambientals\, ja que proporciona eines i perspectives per abordar la contaminació urbana de manera col·laborativa. T’hi esperem! \nInscriu-te
