We investigate the global and regional climate through analysis of satellite and terrestrial observations and simulations with climate models.
This unit explains and forecasts climate variability, trends, extreme events and simulates their impact at various time scales. It also simulates air pollution phenomena and their interactions with climate change.
This information is crucial for the development of appropriate climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies, able to withstand and cope with climate related stresses.
A typical application example of this unit’s work is the provision of statistically downscaled climate change projections at regional scales, or air pollution dynamics, to be used as inputs or future scenarios to examine the response and behaviour of the natural and socio-economic systems.
