Sustainable Development Goals
Mission
The GRESIA Research Group of the Antonio Nariño University focuses its efforts on the development of integral solutions for the sustainable use of water resources and soils, as well as mitigating the negative impacts generated by human activity.
Vision
Generation of innovative technologies that will make it possible to achieve a better future for the next generations, based on environmental conservation through the coherent interaction between man and nature, sustainable development and the construction of an environmental conscience. To achieve this revolution, a great change must be promoted in the communities, giving rise to a society where the "raison d' être" of its existence is the collective value of preserving the environment, without leaving aside the tireless search for socioeconomic development.
Relevant Aspects:
1. Qualified personnel with experience in biotechnology, ecology, environmental geography, land use planning, numerical modeling, structures, construction and hydrogeology.
2. Most of the plant has doctoral training or is advancing its doctoral studies.
3. Strategic alliances with national, regional and local government entities, as well as with other national and international research groups.
4. It has the support of research groups from other disciplines within the University with a long history of research in subjects that enhance the results of research.
5. Management of diverse sources of financing.
Most relevant research projects:
1. Implementation of an environmental hydrological model for decision support in the Sucre, Caribbean department.
2. Engineering lipid-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis pathways in bacteria.
3. Study of the implications of subsurface heterogeneity in the simulation of the flow and transport of pollutants in the context of the Morroa Aquifer (Sucre-Colombia) through alternative geostatistical tools.
4. Domestic and industrial wastewater purification using native macrophytic species in the integral farm of Usme at Antonio Nariño University.
5. Evolution of agro-environmental impact due to the transformation of wetlands into irrigation and purification efficiency.
6. Study of the loss of integral building materials in the city of Bogota due to air pollution.
