Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya
La Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Barcelona Tech (UPC) és una institució pública de recerca i d'educació superior en els àmbits de l'enginyeria, l'arquitectura i les ciències.
L’activitat dels seus campus i centres fan de la UPC un punt de referència i, en complicitat amb el teixit productiu, són agent i motor de canvi econòmic i social, en posar en valor la recerca bàsica i aplicada i transferir tecnologia i coneixement a la societat.
Els investigadors i investigadores de la UPC treballen des dels laboratoris i centres de recerca per augmentar la producció científica, valoritzar-la socialment a través de la transferència de resultats i continuar liderant projectes internacionals d’excel·lència, ja sigui a partir d’iniciatives pròpies o en col·laboració amb altres centres de recerca i universitats d’arreu del món.

(English) Marine microorganisms are fundamental for life on Earth. For example, they have produced most of the oxygen existing in our planet and are essential in biogeochemical cycles and energy flow to different trophic ...
(English) The sustainable management of coastal regions requires profound understanding of the physical processes that govern them. Here, a central aspect is the onshore and offshore migration of sandbars, transporting ...
(English) It was not until 1982 that Gösta Walin proposed a formal framework to connect heat input from the sun to the large-scale thermal circulation of the ocean through quantifying a sur- face ”drift” of water from high ...
(English) The increase in the production of marine bivalves targets the sustainable development of aquaculture to improve global food and nutrition security. Bivalve aquaculture is currently facing challenges and threats ...
(English) The term rockfall applies to blocks or masses of rock that, after separating from a steep wall, experience free fall and then impact against the ground, with the consequent rebound and possible rolling and sliding ...
(English) Air pollutants can be classed as either primary or secondary pollutants. Primary air pollutants are those that are directly emitted into the atmosphere, whereas secondary air pollutants are generated in the ...
(English) In the Montserrat Mountain, high hazard of rockfall and high human exposure by visitors to both Monastery and Natural Park converge. It is a relevant geological risk difficult to mitigate since it is necessary ...
(English) The Monitoring of coastal marine ecosystems has been traditionally carried out with man and vessel-assisted methodologies. In the last decades, new technologies have been progressively integrated by platforms ...
(English) In the last years, the condition monitoring of structures has evolved and improved using technologies such as artificial intelligence, sensor networks, and industry 4.0 because of the multiple advantages these ...
(English) Recent decades have witnessed varying degrees of damage in underground structures, including instances of structural collapse, reported during post-earthquake hazard investigations. Therefore, the research on ...
(English) Composite structures are frequently used in the construction of high-rise buildings due to their high ductility and strength. This article-based doctoral thesis has multiple objectives related to different ...
(English) The circular economy is an emerging concept presented as a solution to counteract the damage caused by the linear economic scheme followed in the past decades. It is based on the principle of "closing the life ...
(English) Climate change is a major issue that is having a significant impact on coastal areas globally. This phenomenon is generating processes of erosion, flooding and sea level rise, which is of great concern. These ...
(English) Jellyfish stings cause discomfort to users of the marine environment, who sometimes require medical assistance. Although jellyfish stings are common today, the scientific community remains in disagreement on how ...
