Representación del efecto Isla de Calor Urbana mediante la oscilación térmica media invernal nocturna por grandes barrios en la ciudad de Málaga desde 2003 a 2023. Para la elaboración de la presente información se han utilizado datos MODIS para el cálculo de la diferencia de temperatura entre área urbana y áreas colindantes. Concretamente se utilizan los datos LST (el término "LST" en el contexto de MODIS se refiere a "Land Surface Temperature" en inglés, que significa "Temperatura de la Superficie Terrestre" en español) derivados de MODIS de TERRA (MOD11A2) y AQUA (MYD11A2), disponibles con una resolución de 1000 m × 1000 m. Solo se procesan los píxeles con cielo despejado (nubosidad 0%) para no meter ruido en los cálculos de medias de temperatura. La franja horaria diurna analizada comprende desde las 01:30 a las 10:30 horas, recopilando datos de diciembre, enero y febrero desde el 2003 hasta el 2023 (20 años). En este caso, se ha realizado la diferencia en LST de los píxeles urbanos y los píxeles no urbanos dentro de una extensión urbana, en este caso la definida como entorno urbano de Málaga. Los datos de la capa pueden utilizarse para identificar las áreas urbanas que son más propensas a experimentar el efecto isla de calor en la Ciudad de Málaga.

Medbiolitter database summarises results of scientific studies on biodiversity and marine litter interactions in the Mediterranean Sea. To this end, information is collected from different data sources, such as institutions or projects, as well as peer-reviewed publications. The main source of data currently is LITTERBASE/AWI, including only the coverage within the Mediterranean. The database currently comprises 903 records on interactions. Interaction refers to encounters between wildlife and litter items and are classified in four categories: 1) Ingestion, which is the most frequently observed interaction, followed by 2) entanglement, which affects motility, often with fatal consequences, 3) colonization, which occurs when many species settle on floating litter, and 4) others, including different types of less frequent interaction. The database includes among others the location, the type of interaction and litter, marine realm (beach, sea surface, water column, seafloor), habitat, species, whether it occurs in a marine protected area and the type in such case, as well as references to the publication from which the data are extracted.

To this end, information is collected from different data sources, such as institutions or projects, as well as peer-reviewed publications. The main source of data currently is LITTERBASE/AWI, including only the coverage within the Mediterranean. Several spatial and data corrections were made from the previous version (v.3, Sep 2019). The database currently comprises 568 records on interactions. Interaction refers to encounters between wildlife and litter items and are classified in four categories: 1) Ingestion, which is the most frequently observed interaction, followed by 2) entanglement, which affects motility, often with fatal consequences, 3) colonization, which occurs when many species settle on floating litter, and 4) others, including different types of less frequent interaction.

The layer is represented in different ways in the MED Biodiversity platform: 1) Marine litter and biodiversity interactions: it shows the database by type of interaction (ingestion, entanglement, colonization and other) and marine realm (pelagic or benthic). 2) Knowledge update: changes in the number of records in each database version. It tries to represent the efforts of the PANACeA project to gather additional information on the Mediterranean Sea. 3) Marine litter knowledge from 1988 to present date: shows the years of publication of the source of the records in the database. In recent dates, especially since 2015, there has been a notable increase in the number of publications related to marine litter.
