When the lights are off: microbial life in caves 🦠 This Friday, July 25th at 15h30, @bernardobarosa.bsky.social will be at my research center (CIBIO) to give a talk on cave systems - windows into one of Earth’s most hidden ecosystem: the subsurface. Curious? Join us CIBIO auditorium or online!

🌿 Data collection in action! With technical support from FIREMAP, we now have new high-resolution data! This will contribute to a new management plan for the Paisagem Protegida Regional do Litoral de Vila do Conde and the Reserva Ornitológica de Mindelo. 🌱📡 #InvasiveSpecies #RemoteSensing #LiDAR

Today on the #InternationalDayforBiologicalDiversity we were at the Paisagem Protegida Regional do Litoral de Vila do Conde and at Reserva Ornitológica de Mindelo mapping invasive species. The data will support a new management plan to help protect local biodiversity! 🌱🌿

🎤 Last month, our PhD student @evamalta.bsky.social presented at the BIODIV Student Meeting in Mértola! Her talk, aligned with the theme "Bridging Science and Society", focused on evolutionary policy for tackling biological invasions, Living Labs and a quick intro to the @onestop-project.eu

This morning at our @onestop-project.eu Living Lab workshop - a fantastic and inspiring session bringing together great minds and ideas! 💡 Stay tuned for more updates and insights coming soon!

Open Class: Invasive Species & Soil Restoration 🌱 We invite all interested to join the open lecture on "#Invasive Species and #Soil Restoration", which will have @jrvicente.bsky.social as a guest speaker. 📅 Thursday, March 13 ⏰ 9:30 AM 📍Library Auditorium, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto

This week, our team was in Tapada da Amora (Vairão, PT) collecting environmental data. We used #drones equipped with 💥 #LiDAR & 🌈 #Multispectral sensors to collect high-precision data of the terrain and vegetation. This data will support better management strategies, including for invasive species!
