With this new equipment, ITER’s geochemical laboratory is consolidated as the most complete in the country for chemical and isotopic analysis of noble gases. The Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables (ITER), an entity dependent on the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife, has marked a significant milestone in the scientific field by completing the installation and commissioning of the first multi-collector mass spectrometer for the isotopic analysis of noble gases (NGMS; Helix MC Plus) in Spain. This scientific instrumentation has been acquired through project EQC2021-007035-P, funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation (MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033) and the European Union in the framework…
This agreement initiates the process for the creation of the first satellite control center in Tenerife, in the ITER facilities, and a teleport that will connect with Canalink. With an expected investment of 300 million euros, CanarySat expects investors looking to participate in a technological project with high growth potential. The Cabildo de Tenerife and ARQUIMEA have reached an agreement of intentions for the creation in Tenerife of the first satellite control center at the Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables (ITER) and a gateway or teleport, which will connect with Canalink, the neutral communications operator. The Cabildo de Tenerife…
More than 30 representatives from 20 countries, members of the ACE Submarine Cable Steering Committee, visit the facilities in Granadilla de Abona to learn about and replicate its operation in their countries of origin. The data center, together with the activity developed by the Cabildo de Tenerife, through Canalink, an ITER company, for the deployment of submarine cable, make the Canary Islands a strategic territory for intercontinental connectivity. The Management Committee of the ACE (Africa Coast to Europe) Submarine Cable Consortium, of which the company Canalinkmet this week in the south of the island to discuss the future of intercontinental…
The work indicates that it emitted 28 ± 14 million tons of carbon dioxide, exceeding the annual pollution figures in the Canary Islands. Research led by Mike Burton of the University of Manchester, and promoted by the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (INVOLCAN), through the important international scientific collaboration program that led during the recent eruptive activity of La Palma, in collaboration with international experts, reveals the impressive emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) during the eruption of the Tajogaite on the island of La Palma, Canary Islands. The study has been published in the prestigious international scientific journal Communications…
