The Ecology and paleoecology of continental aquatic environments (acronym in Spanish: EPAACO) is a newly created (april 2010) multidisciplinary research team, which bring together researchers, postgraduate and undergraduate students, who were individually working in different aspects of ecology and paleoecology of continental aquatic systems. The idea grew out as a way of complementing, linking and integrating the results obtained in each disciplinary area by individual staff members. From this integration on, it was possible to coordinate the multiplicity of indicators and approaches, allowing tracking in an independent way, the variations of different parameters or signals, contributing to more reliable and accurate interpretations, explanations and predictions.

Objectives:
To understand the modern dynamics of continental aquatic systems (shallow lakes) of the Pampa plain.
To reconstruct their environmental evolution during the late Quaternary from a multidisciplinary perspective.

The research lines encompass diverse aspects of the dynamic and functioning of continental aquatic systems (shallow lakes), which are needed to reconstruct their environmental evolution during the Holocene in the Pampa plain. For this purpose, we are working on actualistic models about population dynamic of different biological indicators (they will be the proxies from which past changes will be inferred), their interspecific relationships and with environmental variables. Other key points are to know the processes that promote destruction of the biological remains within sediments (actualistic taphonomy) as well as the environmental dynamic of water bodies and the effect of climate change and human impact on their dynamic. The combination between the ecological and paleolimnological approach, together with the multidisciplinary emphasis, allow obtaining a complete  knowledge of the patterns and processes of ecological changes in shallow lakes, at different temporal scales.

At present, we distinguish the following lines and sub-lines:

Actualistic Taphonomy
Fidelity and preservation of mollusks, ostracods and diatoms. Comparison between lotic and lenthic systems. Determination of the vertical extent and dynamics of the  aphonomically Active Zone (TAZ).

Paleolimnology
Analysis of biological multiproxies (diatoms, pollen, non-pollen palinomorphs, plant macrofossil remains and associated fauna, ostracods, mollusks) in sedimentary records.

Paleoclimatology
Quantitative and/or semi quantitative estimations of temperature and precipitation from Holocene fossil pollen records. These climatic reconstructions constitute an important contribution to the knowledge of the climatic patterns operating at regional scale during the Holocene, and allow the validation of climatic simulations (past-present-future) coming from the general models of atmospheric circulation.

Aerobiology
Study of the composition and dynamic of plant communities from wetlands and record of phenologic variations of key species as response to changes in environmental conditions (human impact and climate change) based on the analysis of atmospheric pollen. Production and transport of pollen belonging to native species with high interest for conservation;
quality of urban air and its relationship to allergies.
