Title: Determining the Intensity of Future Heatwave Episodes at Urban Scales: A Case Study of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona / Given that more than half of the world’s population currently resides in cities, further understanding of the potential impact of future climate change on urban areas is needed. We thus simulate future heatwave (HW) episodes in the metropolitan area of Barcelona (AMB) using the pseudo global warming dynamic downscaling method.

New preprint: “The food-water-climate nexus of green infrastructure: Examining ecosystem services trade-offs of peri-urban agriculture”

Title: The Food-Water-Climate Nexus of Green Infrastructure: Examining Ecosystem Services Trade-Offs of Peri-Urban Agriculture / This paper explores the impacts on the food-water-climate nexus of different scenarios of peri-urban agricultural expansion in a semi-arid, Mediterranean climate, addressing local food provision, freshwater use, local temperature regulation, global climate change mitigation, and the trade-offs thereof.
