UB scientific campaign to study the impact of global change and human activities in Antarctica
Antarctica is one of the most vulnerable ecosystems on the planet. Climate change, invasive species and the impact of human activities are threats to a delicate balance of biodiversity and natural systems on this continent. The University of Barcelona is launching a campaign in the southernmost latitudes of the planet: CHALLENGE-2. This campaign aims to understand and mitigate the effects of human activities and natural systems on the Antarctica’s marine ecosystems.
