It has recently been shown that the water cycle has changed over the last 2,000 years due to variations in temperature. This, however, was a result of global paleoclimatic records. Regarding the regional simulations, things change. A study published in Nature Geoscience led by the Alfred Wegener Institute and the University of Tübingen, with the collaboration of IDAEA shows that, although climate models correctly simulate global temperature trends, they often underestimate the strength of regional climate fluctuations, especially over the course of decades to centuries.

13 November 2023
Last November 12 and during Science Week, IDAEA organised its second edition of the Open Day, welcoming the general public to engaging workshops about air pollution, toxicology, and green solutions for water pollution. Visitors were divided into two sessions, each with distinct itineraries tailored for adults and children. IDAEA researchers led discussions and explained the most up-to-date research on environmental issues impacting ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health.

3 November 2023
An international study with the participation of IDAEA-CSIC has shown that the global water cycle has changed during periods of warmer and colder temperatures in the last 2,000 years, using geological and biological evidence preserved in natural archives, with up to 759 different paleoclimatic records of corals, trees, ice, cave formations and sediments distributed globally.

A new application monitors the heat-related mortality in Spain
16 October 2023
A scientific team formed by IDAEA, the University of Valencia (UV) and the Foundation for Climate Research (FIC) has developed a web application that uses the official data of the Daily Mortality Monitoring System (MOMO) and the temperatures registered by the Spanish State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) to calculate the mortality related to moderate heat, extreme heat and excessive heat in the period from June to August in Spain.
