Andorra's Alpine Lakes as Climate Sentinels | Andorra News
Description
Up in the mountain lakes of Andorra, scientists are racing against time to decode climate change’s hidden messages—using water samples, lakebed maps, and cutting-edge DNA analysis. These high-altitude sentinels, part of Llacs Sentinella and PyriSentinel, act as early warning systems for the entire Pyrenees watershed. By studying invisible microbial life, researchers uncover how tiny organisms serve as climate diaries, revealing ecosystem shifts before they become crises. This five-year mission aims to map unseen biodiversity and its role in nutrient cycles and food webs—giving us a clearer, urgent picture of what’s at stake in our planet’s most fragile corners.
