• E-SHAPE
  E-shape is a European project within the Horizon 2020 program consolidating Earth Observation data to promote its use towards the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). At the Biogeography Department we thematically focus on geospatial analyses of ecosystems, climate, biodiversity and protected areas. [Details]
  
  
• Treasure Islands
  The Galapagos Islands, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, are a hotspot of plant endemism. During the last decades, the island´s flora was affected by severe changes in species composition due to the introduction of numerous neophytes. We assess the impact of invasive plant species on native ecosystems. Furthermore, we are interested in biogeographic patterns of those invaders in the Galapagos archipelago. [Details]
