Current and emerging developments in subseasonal to decadal prediction
2020
Weather and climate variations on subseasonal to decadal time scales can have enormous social, economic, and environmental impacts, making skillful predictions on these time scales a valuable tool for decision-makers. As such, there is a growing interest in the scientific, operational, and applications communities in developing forecasts to improve our foreknowledge of extreme events. On subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) time scales, these include high-impact meteorological events such as tropical cyclones, extratropical storms, floods, droughts, and heat and cold waves. On seasonal to decadal (S2D) time scales, while the focus broadly remains similar (e.g., on precipitation, surface and upper-…
A European Multi Lake Survey dataset of environmental variables, phytoplankton pigments and cyanotoxins
2018
Under ongoing climate change and increasing anthropogenic activity, which continuously challenge ecosystem resilience, an in-depth understanding of ecological processes is urgently needed. Lakes, as providers of numerous ecosystem services, face multiple stressors that threaten their functioning. Harmful cyanobacterial blooms are a persistent problem resulting from nutrient pollution and climate-change induced stressors, like poor transparency, increased water temperature and enhanced stratification. Consistency in data collection and analysis methods is necessary to achieve fully comparable datasets and for statistical validity, avoiding issues linked to disparate data sources. The Europea…
BMC Public Health
2022
Background In the past decades, climate change has been impacting human lives and health via extreme weather and climate events and alterations in labour capacity, food security, and the prevalence and geographical distribution of infectious diseases across the globe. Climate change and health indicators (CCHIs) are workable tools designed to capture the complex set of interdependent interactions through which climate change is affecting human health. Since 2015, a novel sub-set of CCHIs, focusing on climate change impacts, exposures, and vulnerability indicators (CCIEVIs) has been developed, refined, and integrated by Working Group 1 of the “Lancet Countdown: Tracking Progress on Health an…

El tratamiento del ODS 13 en la enseñanza de Física y Química en Educación Secundaria
2020
En l’actualitat, l’educació té un paper fonamental en la lluita contra la situació d’emergència planetària en què ens trobem. Per aquest motiu és necessària la incorporació a les aules de l’Educació per a un Desenvolupament Sostenible (EDS). Aquesta té el ferm propòsit de formar ciutadans capaços de participar en l’adopció de decisions i de dur a terme mesures fonamentades per a avançar cap a la construcció d’un present i futur satisfactoris. El present treball analitza el tractament que es fa a l’Educació Secundària d’un dels Objectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible (ODS) de l’Agenda 2030, referent a una de les problemàtiques actuals més urgents i que requereix una major atenció i implicaci…
Temperature effects explain continental scale distribution of cyanobacterial toxins
2018
Insight into how environmental change determines the production and distribution of cyanobacterial toxins is necessary for risk assessment. Management guidelines currently focus on hepatotoxins (microcystins). Increasing attention is given to other classes, such as neurotoxins (e.g., anatoxin-a) and cytotoxins (e.g., cylindrospermopsin) due to their potency. Most studies examine the relationship between individual toxin variants and environmental factors, such as nutrients, temperature and light. In summer 2015, we collected samples across Europe to investigate the effect of nutrient and temperature gradients on the variability of toxin production at a continental scale. Direct and indirect…
La memòria oceànica del clima: El sistema circulatori d'un planeta viu
2013
A principis del segle XVI Leonardo da Vinci comparava els corrents oceànics amb el fl ux de sang d’un cos humà. Actualment disposem d’informació sufi cient per a explorar la idea que la Terra té un sistema circulatori responsable de capturar, transformar i distribuir l’energia solar. El paper dels oceans com a reguladors del clima és extraordinari, realment condicionen el present i el futur del planeta.
A Changing Media Landscape. Science, the Public and the Press: The Case of Climate Change
2013
Economic restructuring in the media industry has eliminated many professional journalists’ jobs, reductions that may have been hardest on specialized journalists reporting areas like science, technology, economics, or international affairs. This makes audiences even more dependent on new, often social, media for scientific information. The concept of «critical science literacy» is introduced as a way to capture the skills needed to navigate science news in the evolving media landscape. While these same skills were needed to make sense of science in the «old» media world as well, the contemporary shift resulting in attenuation of authoritative journalistic voices is likely to continue, deman…
L’objectiu 55 i la lluita contra el canvi climatic
2023
En aquest document parle de la lluita contra el canvi climàtic a la Unió Europea, en concret, sobre l'Objectiu 55. In this document I talk about the fight against climate change in the European Union, in particular Objective 55.
