BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

MEDESS Cruise (29GD20130915) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2013, Devolop a series of risk-maps for the Mediterranean basin and the development of a multi-model system to provide predictions and adequately manage of hydrocarbon pollution events at sea. The overall objectives are: To implement an integrated real time multi-model oil spill forecasting system To implement an interconnected network of data repositories that will archive and provide in operational way access to all available environmental and oil spill data; To test the service functionalities with key end-users: REMPEC, EMSA, and national agencies responsible for combating oil spills To develop the integrated system with a unique access web portal with different services and user profiles, multi-model data access and interactive capabilities.7 buoys will be used to know the currents leaving them drifting

ABIDES-1 Cruise (29GD20170205) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2017, To study the transport processes from the submarine canyon flanks of the Catalan margin to deeper areas caused by the bottom trawling activities and evaluate the impact on the sedimentary substrate.To address several of the specific objectives proposed in this project objectives it will be necessary to carry out three separate oceanographic campaigns six months each other to record time series of oceanographic parameters through the anchorage of several anchors equipped with current meters, turbidimeters and sediment traps located inside submarine canyons . In the first of these campaigns, we will proceed to anchoring the anchors, in the second to the maintenance and in the third to the final recovery of the instruments, to cover an annual cycle of record the sediment transport processes and identify the contribution of the resuspension by trawling to sedimentary flows . In each one of these campaigns will be transects of CTD stations to study the seasonal variability of hydrography and formation of nephelloid layers in the column of water and surface sediment cores will be obtained . Sampling will be done both in open slope environments and in the interior of canyons submarines. The oceanographic vessel chosen for these three campaigns is the B / O García del Cid, which has the right characteristics to carry out the tasks planned and the crew is experienced with anchoring maneuvers and recovery of oceanographic anchors

RADMED-ESMARES-0620 Cruise (29GD20190618) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2019, The BIOGAPS project aims to study the chemical, ecophysiological and environmental factors that govern the production and recycling of trace volatiles in the sea water , and obtain information that allows to diagnose or predict its distribution in the shallow ocean. In this context, the BIOGAPS cruise will address the following issues: (a) How the concentrations of volatile vary (sulfur and halogen, plus isoprene) with respect to environmental factors and diversity, production and physiology of plankton? We can diagnose or numerically simulate said variability? (b) What role organic matter plays, and its interaction with light, in the Production and recycling of trace volatiles? (c) Enzymatic activities that produce volatiles, follow circadian cycles What can be observed by gene expression? (d) Is The Mediterranean an exceptional source of atmospheric iodine, with Implications for regional health policies?

UNIBARNA-2020 Cruise (29SG20200220) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2020, Training of students of the master of "Oceanography and managment of the marine environment "from Barcelona University in the acquisition of oceanographic data

RECOMARES Cruise (29GD20200302) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2020, Reconstruction of deep-sea communities in Iberian Continental Margins in the last decades / centuries- RECOMARES.Sampling will be carried out in a area between Barcelona, ​​N of Mallorca and Columbretes Islands, with a further sampling Intense in the transect between Barcelona and the N of Mallorca (Sóller). On this area will be collected sediments for chronoecology analysis (OBJ1), biological samplings of demersal megafauna (fish and large invertebrates) and zooplankton (OBJ2) and will be taken on each station hydrographic data (with CTDs)

RADMED-ESMARES-0620 Cruise (29GD20200623) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2020, The RADMED-ESMARES-0620 project has as its general objective the multidisciplinary monitoring of shelf waters and continental slope of the Spanish Mediterranean, including both the peninsular coastline as the Balearic Islands. The variables to follow are physical, chemical and biological, thereby seeking to study hydrographic conditions, communities planktonic, the seasonal cycles of these variables and their interannual variability. This Tracking allows us to implement our data banks, generate time series, establish ocean climatologies, study oscillations, trends, anomalies and their relationship with global warming and climate change. With these data we have accurate information of the marine environment, being able to advise administrations on the correct management of the effects of climate change

BRANSFIELD Cruise (29HE19911128) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 1991, Oceanography Bransfield Strait: environmental parameters, productivity and characterization of plankton communities

SCOTIA-92 Cruise (29HE19920201) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 1992, Geology-geophysics from the South Scotia Ridge. Geological characterization of the link region between the Basin of Bransfield and the South Dorsal of Scotia (Antarctica)

ANT-92 Cruise (29HE19920211) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 1992, Geology and geophysics of the Shetland Islands: Study of a triple junction zone

BOCA Cruise (29HE19920501) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 1992, Cortical differentiation in the Western Betic-Alboran Basin, BOCA. In May 1992, a test of the seismic source system of air cannons was carried out in the new Spanish oceanographic vessel BIO Hespérides, in which a set of 17 refraction seismic profiles was acquired in the Sea of Alborán The profiles, of an average length of 50 km, covered the sector more next to the coast between Malaga and the Line of the Conception according to different orientations. A set of 24 l total capacity cannons was used as a source, triggered every 40 s (approx 100m). The registration of these signals took out on land through 5 stations, whose location was changing up cover a total of 24 positions
