BRAIN-beBelgian Research Action through
Interdisciplinary Networks
4 Decades of Belgian Marine Monitoring: Uplifting historical data to today’s needsBRAIN-be Axis 3 – Cultural, historical and scientific heritage
• Federal heritage resulting from marine scientific expeditions• Paper, excell-files, cruise reports,..• Scattered availability
Kick-off 4DEMON , RBINS, 13 March 2014
4DEMON
• Projet Mer/Projekt Zee (1970-1976)
• Aim:• Digitize, integrate and disseminate• Quality control and intercalibration• Interdisciplinary valorisation

Established 1996
Research themes
(1) Biology & evolution unicellular eukaryotes (protists)(2) Short- and longterm dynamics of freshwater and marine ecosystems(3) Microalgal biotechnology
e.g. biotic interactions in microbial food webs (e.g. microalgae-bacteria, grazing), dynamics of estuarine and marine microplankton and microphytobenthos communities, diversity ecosystem function relationships, role of dispersal and local adaptation for spatial and temporal dynamics microlagal populations, diatom cell and life cycles

As been involved in ocean acidification :
Frankignoulle and Gattuso papers the 1990’s papers highlighted the negative effects of ocean acification on coral reef calcification
Delille et al. (2005) paper reports one of the first large scale multidisciplinary mesocom experiments looking into ocean acidification effects on pelagic comunities
Borges & Gypens (2010) paper highlights for the first time specific evolution of ocean acidification in coastal environments
