TREC
Traversing European Coastlines
The Planetary Biology flagship project, enabling the expedition to study coastal ecosystems and their response to the environment, from molecules to communities
Planetary Biology Projects
Planetary Biology projects involve several expeditions, and cover topics ranging from biodiversity, adaptation in model species and communities, to ecotoxicology.
