Jumping genes, also called mobile or transposable elements (TEs), are universal features of all eukaryotic genomes. TEs are considered major evolutionary players and can be linked to fast adaptations and stress responses.

Facing climate change is a societal challenge, and calls for ambitious, transformative, and collective action. To keep global warming below 2°C, we will need to rely on negative emission technologies (NETs). A promising NET approach is Enhanced Silicate Weathering (ESW).

This project lays a fundamental scientific basis for the roll-out of solar energy installations in the North Sea, with a theoretical potential of a few GW.

In 2017, the United Nations proclaimed a Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (hereafter referred to as the UN Ocean Decade) from 2021 until 2030 to support efforts to reverse the cycle of decline in ocean health.

Accidental release of volatile Hazard Noxious Substances (HNS) at sea can lead to the formation of toxic, flammable or even explosive gas clouds potentially hazardous for nearby population and the environment.

SEA-UNICORN brings together a broad, inter-disciplinary community of scientists, marine stakeholders and policy-makers, from more than 100 organizations spread around the world, in order to advance knowledge and unify concepts and approaches in the emerging field of

Coastal oceans are integral parts of the land-ocean aquatic continuum (LOAC). Understanding the structure and functioning of coastal oceans, especially their response to projected global change, thus necessarily entails consideration of the entire continuum at different scales, from streams to the ocean.
