Anthropogenic emission inventory and spatial analysis of greenhouse gases and primary pollutants for the Galapagos Islands
We present an anthropogenic emissions inventory for Santa Cruz, San Cristobal, and Isabela Islands in which emissions were spatially mapped for greenhouse gasses and primary pollutants.
The Scalesia microbiome: uncovering the microbial world that Darwin could not see
Galápagos keeps inspiring scientists to study the evolution of animal species.The ‘Scalesia Microbiome’ project is pioneering in studying the taxonomic and functional diversity of the microbial communities associated with the Scalesia genus on the Galapagos Islands.
Underwater ultrasonograhy and blood sampling provide the first observations of reproductive biology in free-swimming whale sharks
We report on a non-invasive technique for observing the reproductive states of wild, free-swimming whale sharks Rhincodon typus for the first time.
Species associated with whale sharks in the Galapagos Archipelago
Whale sharks Rhincodon typus frequently appear to interact or associate with other species, which vary depending on the community structure and the demographic of the whale sharks at each location globally. we present the species sighted frequently around whale sharks in the Galapagos Archipelago
A pilot study to estimate the population size of endangered Galápagos marine iguanas using drones
Large-scale species monitoring remains a significant conservation challenge. Given the ongoing biodiversity crisis, the need for reliable and efficient methods has never been greater.
The Connecting With Nature Program has successfully integrated the Galapagos community into environmental conservation for the fourth consecutive year
Through its community programs, the GSC contributes to the development and the generation of environmental awareness in the community.
Galapagos and the plastic problem
Plastic pollution (PP) is an ongoing, pervasive global problem that represents a risk to the Galápagos archipelago, despite it being one of the world’s most pristine and well-protected regions. By working closely with citizen scientists, we aimed to quantify and map the magnitude and biological effects of PP.
Team of researchers from Galapagos Science Center and Galapagos National Park seek to protect marine biodiversity and understand climate variability through marine expedition
Learn about the objectives, methods, and preliminary results the team has carry on since the project started.
