GeoEcoMar Summer School

Between May 14-17, 2023, young researchers Petru Ciorba, Laboratory of Hydrobiology and Ecotoxicology and Sorina Istrati, PhD student, Laboratory of Systematics and Molecular Phylogeny, participated in the GeoEcoMar Summer School, organized by the Institute of Marine Geology and Geoecology (GeoEcoMar) from Romania, with headquarters in Bucharest and a branch in Constanța. The main objective of the meeting was to highlight environmental and biotic changes in aquatic ecosystems.

The summer school combined both theoretical and practical activities. Thus, the researchers from GeoEcoMar presented the current and finished projects of the institution, the infrastructure of INCD GeoEcoMar, which is used in the research projects on the Danube-Danube Delta-Black Sea macro-geosystem. The practical activities consisted of trips by boat to Gura Portiței, on the canals and lakes of the Danube Delta, to highlight the geoecological aspects and macrofauna in the current aquatic systems.

The participants would like to thank the organizers of the GeoEcoMar Summer School, the Institute of Marine Geology and Geoecology from Romania for the opportunity to take part in this scientific event.
