MBG-CSIC
Bioclimatology and Global Change
The BIOCLIMA: Bioclimatology and Global Change group at the Misión Biologica de Galicia (MBG) - The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) studies how the atmospheric environment affects the health and well-being of living beings, analyzing climatic patterns, Earth system interactions, and the adaptation of the planet and its inhabitants to climatic risks. With a multidisciplinary approach, it investigates the vulnerability of populations in the context of global change.
The staff associated with BIOCLIM have a multi- and interdisciplinary background and translational experience in the fields of geography, ecology, physics, biometeorology, epidemiology, and biostatistics.
