Projects carried out

Selection of projects carried out by the SIGTE in recent years. 

BIOPAIS

BIOPAIS is a project for assessing the potential ecological and social impacts of marine wind farms in areas with high levels of biodiversity and significant LANDscape value: for example Cap de Creus/Golf de Roses.

The SIGTE has been part of the project to advise and analyse the visual impact of the wind farm on the landscape. In addition, we have created a storymap that clearly and visually explains the results of the project. 


The BIOPAÍS project is supported by the Biodiversity Foundation of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (MITECO) within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR), funded by the European Union - NextGenerationEU

Clepsidra: interactive virtual city platform

As part of the Clepsidra project, a website has been developed that shows how the multidimensional vulnerability model for long-term urban flooding works. It shows the details of the city model it is based on, and there is an interactive tool that makes it possible to modify the different variables and factors the model is based on, in order to help urban planners and policy makers navigate the complexities of urban water management.

Obtaining the dune crest of the coastline of Catalonia

Obtaining the crest of the dune system of the beaches of the Catalan coast, through the digital model of elevations of 2m of resolution of the ICGC, and an algorithm with a path of a lower cumulative cost. Based on this dune crest, a buffer measuring 2m wide is created to obtain zonal statistics of the dune crest: average, standard deviation, type, minimum and maximum value
