Project description
Marine ecosystems’ resilience to climate change
Climate change severely affects marine ecosystems. Despite the ambitious international efforts to reduce carbon emissions, the planet will continue to warm and experience the effects of climate change for decades. However, a lack of coherent ways of assessment and the limited availability of empirical data prevents resilience research. The EU-funded ROMANCE project will apply an interdisciplinary approach to understand and predict the resilience of threatened Mediterranean marine ecosystems to existing and future climate change providing relevant information for EU directives. The project will study the marine communities' resilience to past marine heatwaves, develop a deep algorithm to detect early warning signals of the collapse and predict marine communities' resilience to different climate change disturbances.
Objective
The impacts of climate change are now more pervasive than ever before in human history. Marine ecosystems have been particularly impacted by climate change, with several of them being at the brink of collapse. As a response, the international efforts to reduce carbon emissions have never been so ambitious. However, even in the most optimistic CO2 emission scenarios, the planet will continue to warm and experience the effects of climate change over the coming decades. For this reason, several international conservation targets have been set to maintain the resilience of marine ecosystems to climate change. Despite these calls, resilience research has been hampered by a lack of coherent ways to quantify it and the limited availability of empirical data.
ROMANCE overcomes these limitations by taking an interdisciplinary approach to understand and predict the resilience of threatened Mediterranean marine ecosystems to current and future climate change. More specifically, in ROMANCE I will (1) study the resilience of marine communities to past marine heatwaves, (2) develop a deep algorithm to detect early warning signals of collapse and (3) use cutting-edge to predict the resilience of marine communities to different climate change disturbances. The results arising from ROMANCE will provide relevant information for the application of EU directives, especially related to climate change adaptation and coastal resilience, as well as a great leap for the applicant’s career, with valuable training and high-level publications expected.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
