The paper describes the initial efforts in a project whose objective is to obtain a 40-year hindcast of wind, sea level and wave climatology for European waters.

La series del nivel del mar procedentes de la red de estaciones mareográficas costeras operadas por el IEO pueden ser consideradas por su longitud y su distribución geográfica un índice de la variabilidad regional climática.

For the global tourism industry, climate change brings more risks than opportunities. There will be regional and seasonal shifts in tourist flows, resulting in both winners and losers.

The complementarity of two renewable energy sources, namely hydro and wind, is investigated. We consider the diversification effect of wind power to reduce the risk of water inflow shortages, an important energy security concern for hydropower-based economic zones (e.g. Québec and Norway).

Background The 2003 heat wave had a high impact on mortality in Europe, which made necessary to develop heat health watch warning systems.

Las temperaturas extremadamente elevadas registradas en el centro de Europa y en el norte y este de España durante el verano de 2003 pusieron de manifiesto la importancia que sobre la salud pública en general presentan las altas temperaturas.

We report the pattern of bryophyte distribution through the elevation gradient of three Canary Islands (Fuerteventura, Tenerife and Gomera) assessing their vulnerability risk to climate change.
