The service specialises in:
The development of numerical models of flow and transport in porous media and the analysis of large-scale biogeochemical environmental data, including:
- Multiphase flow and contaminant transport models
- Fractured media modelling
- Soil and unsaturated zone modelling
- Variable-density models
- Lagrangian analysis of contaminant transport
The analysis and interpretation of metagenomic data derived from amplicon sequencing and shotgun metagenomics, including activities such as:
- Quality control and preprocessing of sequences (trimming, filtering and contaminant removal)
- Taxonomic analysis using specific databases (16S, 18S, ITS, etc.)
- Assembly and functional annotation of metagenomic data
- Estimation of microbial diversity (alpha and beta diversity)
- Identification of genes and metabolic pathways
