The group integrates advanced research activities in specific geological issues, but also assumes the responsibility of maintain and develop the geological map infrastructure of Spain and to make it evolve as the geological knowledge and GIS and database technologies improved. The results of this systematic and continuous survey, embodied in the Plan Cartográfico Nacional, have multiple uses in the design and application of environmental policies on the territory, in the search for mineral resources for the new green technologies, in hydrogeological and global change research, in geological h

The group aims to develop novel polymer gels and self assembling polymer materials as precursor materials of advanced applications in biomedicine and sustainable applications. The group is integrated within the CSIC interdisciplinary platforms SUSPLAST+ y FAB3D. Currently it is constituted by the following members: Dr. Rebeca Hernández. Científica titular CSIC (IP) Prof. Carmen Mijangos Prof. Investigación CSIC `ad honorem¿ Dr. Luis Andrés Perez-Perez. Postdoctoral researcher Mario Ivan Peñas Nuñez.

The Geoenergy group is engaged in the creation of geological and technological knowledge related to subsurface energy sources such as geothermal energy and hydrocarbons, as well as in the geological storage of energy (H2, CH4, or compressed air) or greenhouse gases (CO2).

Geological heritage, stone heritage and geodiversity are lines of research developed at the IGME-CSIC since the 1970s. This research group has been one of the international pioneers in this discipline, coordinating the Spanish Inventory of Sites of Geological Interest (IELIG) and co-leading the IGCP-731 IUGS-Geological Heritage Sites (2021-2023) project.

The Environmental Hydrogeology and Global Change Lab (Environmental Hydrogeology and Global Change Lab) is a research group of the IGME-CSIC National Center, created in July 2021. It is heir to the Environmental Geology and Geomathematics Area of the IGME, from the Research Department in Geological Resources, existing before its incorporation to the CSIC. The name of the group was decided democratically through open deliberation of its components, voluntarily adhered to it, through successive votes and final consensus.

The Group's objective is to transfer groundwater knowledge to other public administrations, prívate law entities and to society in general, helping to solve problems in relation to groundwater resources and the development of renewable energies related to groundwater. It includes conventions and agreements with public administrations, technological support contracts and research projects, in addition to the updating of the IGME Waters Database and the Mobile Hydrogeology Unit.

Lines of research on Circular Economy in the food industry: Process Development and Valorisation of By-products. These research lines aim to contribute to the implementation of sustainable innovations in the food industry, within the framework of European policies against climate change.

We focus on the integration of quantitative, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to face conservation challenges; with particular interest in nature conservation, human-wildlife interactions, conservation conflicts, and large mammals and avian scavengers. These species are among the most challenging groups of species to conserve, and coexist with, in our crowded planet. Keeping a strong emphasis on the practical nature of our research, we aim to interact with stakeholders, policy-makers, and the general public, for an effective conservation of biodiversity.

The objective of the Research Group on Physical-Biological Interactions in the Ocean (InFiBiO) is to understand, from an interdisciplinary perspective, the physical, chemical and biological factors that determine the functioning, structure and organization of planktonic organisms, as well as their response to natural and anthropogenic disturbances. The InFiBiO integrates researchers from various disciplines, who share a common interest in the study of the functioning and dynamics of marine ecosystems.

The newly created group CARDIOVASCULAR PATHOPHYSIOLOGY, comes from the association and previous collaboration of the groups PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF INFLAMMATORY PROCESSES, CELLULAR ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY AND REGULATION OF HYPERTROPHY AND HEART FAILURE and the IONIC CHANNELS LABORATORY (I and II).
