Physics of climate and climate change

The mission of the group is to improve the understanding of the climate system, its evolution, impacts, and the mechanisms responsible for climate variability and change at different temporal and spatial scales, with the vision of advancing in the multiple dimensions of climate change and contributing to the current challenges of society. Its main objective is to provide an integrated view of the physical functioning of the climate system and to improve the quantification of past, present and future climate changes and the explanation of their causes. The functions of the group include: - Promote multidisciplinary research in climate physics and global change within the field of Earth sciences. - Train future researchers in climate sciences. - Facing new scientific research challenges useful for society. - Promote scientific culture and the dissemination of knowledge in global change.
