R&D

You are here:
  1. R&D
  2. Scientific output

Scientific production

Its leadership in research and innovation projects, the talent and rigour of its researchers and its network of cutting-edge facilities and equipment are the basis of the UPC's impressive positions in the main international scientific output rankings.

R&D Projects

Amazon river dolphin

Listening to endangered Amazon river dolphins

The pink river dolphin and the tucuxi are two species of freshwater dolphins in danger of extinction that inhabit inaccessible areas of the Amazon. They are echolocating animals, which use sound as a form of navigation. Echolocation clicks can be used to track their movements and contribute to conservation strategies for their natural habitat. This is demonstrated by a study published in Scientific Reports featuring researchers from the UPC’s Laboratory of Applied Bioacoustics (LAB).
