Sensor networks for management of coastal areas
In our laboratories, we are developing distributed sensor networks containing the necessary elements for collection, processing, communications and even power supply so that the network can constitute a system based on autonomous modules.
Protocols for transmission and transport of multimedia content in rural, maritime and underwater environments
IGIC’s work focuses on the design and development of protocols for transmitting video and multimedia content and the analysis and testing of encoding and compression algorithms.
Deployment of wireless communications in coastal, rural and maritime areas
The IGIC is also working on the design and simulation of coastal land-sea-air wireless telecommunications protocols and systems, ship tracking and control, radio beacons, satellite communications and underwater wireless communications.
Physical habitat simulation, habitat suitability modelling and spatial habitat analysis in rivers
One of the lines of work of the UPV’s Research Institute for Integrated Coastal Zone Management focuses on the analysis of river habitats.
Design, development of instrumentation systems and applications in hydroacoustics and ultrasonics
Researchers at the IGIC Institute of the Gandia Campus are working on the application of ultrasonic and hydroacoustic techniques to propose advanced solutions in different fields, such as acoustic monitoring in the marine environment, non-destructive analysis by ultrasound, etc.
Artificial intelligence based on inductive methods
Researchers at the IGIC Institute at the Gandia campus of the UPV are working on the application of inductive methods, which make it possible to automate processes where until now, a human operator was essential.
Biofloc systems for fish and crustacean production without water renewal
Bioflocculus technology (BFT systems) is a new strategy for the production of aquatic organisms, on which the UPV’s Research Institute for Integrated Coastal Zone Management is working.
Behaviour monitoring and biomass estimation in aquaculture cages
Accurate measurement of the biomass contained in aquaculture farms is fundamental to managing these facilities efficiently.
Ecological flow studies and ecological flow regime in rivers and floodplains
Ecological flow studies, or ecological flow regime studies, are necessary to maintain aquatic ecosystems in a healthy state and conserve their biodiversity and the livelihoods of riparian populations and environmental services when flow regulations, construction of dams, canals, etc. take place.
Design and Configuration of data, VoIP and IPTV networks
The members of the Communications and Networks Research Group of the Research Institute for Integrated Coastal Zone Management have extensive experience in the analysis, design and implementation of data networks, VoIP and IPTV, as well as in providing training for students to improve their skills in the design of data networks and triple play services.
Tourism destination planning and design of indicator systems
Tourism studies at the UPV and the Institute for Management of Coastal Areas (IGIC) have been analysing the theoretical and practical keys to tourism planning and DTI models.
Design and implementation of Participatory Action Research processes
The UPV team consists of faculty staff working on these processes for more than 20 years in collaboration with public and private organisations. This accumulated experience, which has materialised in research projects, articles and doctoral theses, allows us to design participatory processes adapted to each context to make them effective and efficient.
