MAIN RESEARCH TOPICS

APPLIED CLIMATOLOGY

1. Study, in a detailed spatial scale, of extreme thermal events (eg. heat and cold waves) and its relationship with health in urbanized areas.

2. Spatial and temporal patterns of thunderstorms and its socioeconomic impacts;

3. Other climate hazards, such as strong wind and heavy rain hazards and the relationship between weather and road accidents.

4. Climatic resources for tourism and the foreseen alterations on the relationships between climate and tourism in climate change scenarios

5. Local climate and agriculture.

6. Energy consumption of buildings related to thermal patterns.

7. Wind power potential evaluation for sustainable energy implementation near urban areas.
