The last Wednesday of each month at 7pm, citizen meetings around ecology and environment at the Marine Station of Endoume.
On Wednesday, June 30, 2021, follow live the conference of Delphine Thibault, Lecturer, Mediterranean Institute of Oceanology (MIO), Aix-Marseille University on the theme: "Gelition" of the oceans: Relationship between jellyfish and humans.
On June 2 and 3, 2021, it was in the fresh water of the 10m-depth pit at the famous COMEX company that the VVP was tested. Equipped with ice release systems developped at MIO to free it from its ballast after each dive, the VVP performed more than 80 ascending profiles at different velocities and with different configurations, in order to characterise its dynamics in a controlled environment. The measurements will allow us to assess its drag coefficient, as well as the frequency and amplitude of wake vortices as a function of the speed and configuration of the VVP.
On board the Ifremer Thalassa, biological observations are in full swing as part of the MOOSE Mediterranean Ocean Observing System for the Environment campaign
Laboratories involved in this biological part of the campaign: AD2M of the Roscoff Biological Station - CNRS / Sorbonne University, the Villefranche Oceanography Laboratory, the MIO Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography
The plankton nets bring back an incredible harvest of living organisms studied on board by imaging and genomic technologies to analyze the biodiversity from the surface to 2000 m depth
An alga is proliferating rapidly in the Callelongue cove in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône). Identifiable by its size and its green color, its presence worries.

A young researcher with a passion for the infinitely small in the oceans, Mar Benavides was recently awarded the bronze medal of the CNRS. She studies the functioning of diazotrophs, bacteria that provide nitrogen to the entire underwater food chain. Her goal is to analyze the reaction of these microorganisms to climate change in order to better understand future global changes in the ocean.
Two LMIs in which the MIO is strongly involved:
LMI BIOTEC H2 - Production and storage of biohydrogen and methane by valorization of fermentable agro-food by-products
Signatories: the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, the Institute of Research for Development.
LMI BIOTEC H2 aims to produce biohydrogen from agro-food waste. This process would represent an energy-generating and fully environmentally friendly technology.
MIO contact: Pierre Pol Liebgott

The Ocean & Climate Platform (OCP) has just published, on the occasion of World Ocean Day, a report on the solutions implemented by its members to address climate change and biodiversity loss. This report, which presents the ocean-climate-biodiversity nexus, is designed to highlight the projects carried out by the POC network and to bring them to the attention of policy makers, in order to create new opportunities for action for the ocean in the years to come.
After a first conference in 2019 dedicated to neuro-technologies, Aix-Marseille University invites you to attend its second European conference on June 16 dedicated to the societal challenge of "Protecting our oceans, the challenge of European leadership in the world".
Wednesday, June 16, 9:00 am to 5:30 pm
- Event to follow online (registration required)
- Available in French and English
