National Research Council - Institute of Marine Sciences, Bologna

The activities of the Institute are the following: Physical, biophysical, and ecological processes linked to the oceanic circulation affecting climatic changes. Mechanisms governing the bio-geochemical cycles linked to oceanic circulation. Survey on the origins of the Italian seas (within the Mediterranean geology) and of the oceanic basins, as strictly connected to seismic risks and volcanoes. Formation and modification of continental edges, also connected to climatic changes.
