GREENOWL

Climate change  resulting from the anthropogenic activities will dramatically modify the composition and activity of aquatic microbial ecosystems on our planet. The first aim of Greenowl is to  assess the resilience capability of the microbial ecosystems to these changes. Taming adaptation of microorganisms is a second objective, for developing new energy sources, new protein sources, new ways to recycle carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. Finally there is a need to improve the  environmental assessment of the impact of these new technologies, and to quantify their long term benefits. Greenowl will
 deploy  theoretical tools, from the fields of automatic control, artificial intelligence and simulation and combine them with experimental validation on our experimental platforms, and through our partnerships.
Greenowl is a joined Inria team with CNRS, Sorbonne University (LOV: laboratory of Oceanography from Villefranche) and INRAE (ITAP: Technologies and Methods for the Agriculture of tomorrow). Greenowl follows on from the BIOCORE project team.
