Aim: |
DEKOSIM is a research infrastructure project. DEKOSİM will provide information and technical infrastructure support to all Turkish marine related institutions and organizations and has been designed at a level to compete scientifically with European countries in the fields of marine ecosystem and climate research. Within the scope of DEKOSIM, observation systems that can undertake long-term, continuous measurements in Turkish seas are being established. Such systems include time series, passive measuring devices drifting with currents (ARGO floats) and float systems. |

|
Aim: |
SOMBEE addresses the role of eco-evolutionary dynamics and their consequences for the exploitation of fish resources in the future. The key open question addressed is whether exploited fish populations have the capacity of adapting swiftly enough to global change to ensure their persistence and their sustainable exploitation. |

|
Aim: |
The project aims to use biogeochemical and primary producer markers found in lake sediments to understand the responses of alpine lakes to climate change and human impact (e.g. eutrophication) in the Bolkar Mountains. In this way, the scope and extent of the responses of these ecosystems to climate and human impact will be understood for the first time, and the climate change experienced in Anatolia in the recent period, for which we still need more information, will be better understood by using alpine lake sediments. |

Aim: |
OCEAN-ICU seeks to gain a new understanding of the biological carbon pump and its processes in order to provide fundamental knowledge and tools to help policy makers, regulators and Ocean industry–fishing and mining, along with the wider blue economy–manage and understand the impact of their actions on Ocean carbon. This will ultimately lead to a better approach for addressing climate change in alignment with the EU Green Deal to reduce the net emissions of greenhouse gases to Zero by 2050. |
