Climate: Past, Present & Future

Sergio Pérez-Montero

I am a PhD student in Madrid (Spain) and a mountain guide trainee.

For this, I use models of different complexity, from idealized conceptual models to full three-dimensional models, and compare the results with evidence from nature. Affiliation: Geosciences Institute (IGEO, UCM-CSIC) and Complutense University of Madrid (UCM).

In short, we learn it from the clues that nature left on the planet since its formation. And it is precisely with these observations where our story begins. Since the beginnings of mountaineering, many visitors of the Alps and other mountain ranges have wonde ...[Read More]
