Sergio is Scientific Researcher in the Pyrenean Institute of Ecology (IPE-CSIC). The main challenge of him research is to improve the spatial and temporal knowledge of climate variability, allowing to monitor, quantify and predict the occurrence and derived impacts of extreme precipitation events, with special focus on severe droughts.
To achieve these goals, it has been necessary to deepen our understanding of mechanism that control atmospheric circulation, the connections of the global climate system and the development of new techniques of analysis. In our department we consider a research priority to tackle issues related to climate dynamic: trends, variability and change, extreme events, climate impacts and socioeconomic and environmental vulnerability. These studies must be conducted at different spatial scales, with the purpose of clarifying present and near-future climate change processes. The interest for these studies is theoretical and scientific, but also they have an undeniable applied interest, since the connection between atmospheric circulation and hydro-climatic processes is a priority to predict extreme events, to assess impacts of projected climatic change, and to supply new tools for a better environmental and territorial management.
